All Stretcher Bars
Professional Canvas Stretcher BarsWe offer 3 different types of canvas stretcher bars, varying by the depth of the bars
Standard: Our slimmest profile, each stretcher bar is 18mm deep. Available in sizes up to 50 inches (1270mm).
Premium: Our medium profile, each stretcher bar is 38mm deep, for extra strength & stability. Available in sizes up to 71 inches (1803mm).
Gallery: Our thickest stretcher bar is 44mm deep, for maximum strength & stability. Available in sizes up to 120 inches (3048mm).
Hand crafted: All of our professionally hand-crafted, kiln-dried stretcher bars are made to the highest specifications. The finger jointed timber fits together like fine furniture for the tightest possible fit, using traditional mortised corner joints for ease of assembly. The timber is carefully selected to eliminate knots and ensure a perfect match with each and every stretcher bar. These stretcher bars are "dead straight" and not subject to warping and will lie 100% flat against the wall (unlike some cheaper stretcher bars sold online) Special attention is also given to corner joints to guarantee that all of our stretcher bars fit neatly together and lie flat against the wall. Highest Quality: Our stretcher bars are manufactured in the UK to the highest specification and subject to careful quality control throughout production. Available Sizes: Available in 1 inch increments, ranging in lengths from 8 inches (203mm) up to 120 inches (3048mm). Please contact us for stretcher bars longer than 120 inches (3048mm). Made to Measure: Made to measure stretcher bars can be produced to nearest mm, up to a maximum size of 3048mm. For pricing, use next nearest inch equivalent (round upwards). Easy to assemble: The stretcher bars easily slot together by hand. No special tools are needed to assemble the slotted stretcher bars. A soft faced hammer mallet helps to tap the corners together. Note there is no need to glue or screw the stretcher bars, they just slot together to make the external frame, then stretch your canvas over the frame, and tap in your corner wedges (supplied) Corner Wedges: Stretched canvases can lose tension over time, for example due to changes in room temperature. The slotted corner joints allow you tap in the corner wedges (supplied with each pair of stretcher bars), into the corners of the frame, opening it up very slightly and re-tensioning the canvas again (so it is tight like a drum). Pricing: The prices shown on our website are for a pair of stretcher bars, including corner wedges. For example, to produce one canvas frame sized 14” by 20”, you need to order one pair of 14” stretcher bars and one pair of 20” stretcher bars. Each pair comes with 2 corner wedges. Cross Brace Bars: Cross bars are available for our stretcher bars, available in lengths from 8” to 71”, to provide added strength and stability for larger frames. Please see here for full details Volume Discounts: We offer the following volume discounts for larger orders of stretcher bars:
These discounts can apply to a mixture of different stretcher bar sizes and types (i.e. they don't have to be all the same type or size of stretcher bars).
Please note that as the stretcher bars are manufactured off-site, we do NOT offer free collection of stretcher bars from our London shop in Bethnal Green. |
