Improved Stretcher Frames

Great print is one thing - build quality is another. New improvements to our stretcher bar frames means extra depth for your photo canvas at no extra cost. Standard frame used to be 2cm but now the depth is 2.5cm (1"), and for the chunkier block look, we have 4.5cm instead of 4cm. Our build and print quality means we offer a lifetime guarantee.

The timber used is laminated pine giving excellent strength and anti-warping properties. The pine timber we use comes from a 'renewable sustainable' farm partner. It's fast growing softwood so does not come from rainforest territories. These new bars are perfectly machined giving an excellent lipped profile to make your canvas become a perfect finished piece. Many companies do not use lipped or even mortised frame stock so beware.


Check for wedges too. Even the wedges are perfectly produced to exacting standards. Wedges are important for the stretch! Many companies try not to use them to cut costs - but we are proud to use them and provide the benefits of being able to maintain the canvas correctly.

We spend a long time sourcing the right components and materials to make you a perfect photo canvas. Other sellers out there are not so careful. When choosing your canvas print supplier, here are some bad practices that you should avoid:

1. No Wedges. If you want your canvas to last, wedges are important.
2. Sloppy inkjet print and so-called 'Giclee'. These use solvent based toxic chemicals and need a varnish applied to preserve the inks. Varnish equates to unstable inks.
3. Third party outsourcing. We know a lot of our competitors outsource their production meaning they have no control over handling of your image and quality. They will send your digital files to another party - someone you have no idea about.
4. Slow poor service. We pride ourselves in exceeding expectations, and will give friendly advice over the phone should you have any queries. When you phone us, you will be speaking to the people who actually are involved with the production of your photo canvas, not anonymous call center staff or a salesman. Plus, if you make your order in the morning, there's a good chance you could have it the next day! (on standard sizes).
5. Overpricing. There are some greedy companies that will offer you little of the above and still overcharge. We are able to offer amazing prices on our canvas because we make everything in house.
