Look closer at the materials and slim floating frame used to finish CNVS canvas artwork. Every piece is made to order and supplied framed and ready to hang.
Canvas and frame specifications
The frame profile measurements below describe the moulding itself. They are not the overall width or height of your finished artwork.
| Detail | Specification |
|---|---|
| Canvas material | 240gsm polyester canvas |
| Canvas stretcher depth | 20mm |
| Stretcher profile width | 33mm |
| Tray frame depth | 32mm |
| Tray frame inner depth | 22mm |
| Visible outer frame face | 10mm |
| Tray moulding overall profile width | 41mm, including the ledge beneath the canvas |
| Shadow gap inside the frame | Approximately 4–5mm on each side |
Understanding your finished size
The selected canvas size describes the canvas itself. The floating frame and shadow gap add to the finished outside width and height.
The 10mm frame face sits on each side of the canvas, with a shadow gap between the canvas and frame. The 41mm profile width includes the supporting ledge underneath the canvas; it should not be added as a 41mm border.
If you are fitting artwork into a precise space, contact us with the artwork and selected size so we can confirm the finished outside dimensions before you order.
Approximate outside frame sizes
As a practical guide, allow approximately 3cm extra on both the canvas width and height for the floating frame and shadow gap. A 60 × 60cm canvas therefore measures approximately 63 × 63cm from outside edge to outside edge.
These are approximate sizes, based on a 10mm frame face and a shadow gap of around 4–5mm on each side. They are rounded for planning your wall space. For a close fit or a fixed recess, please ask us to confirm the finished dimensions before ordering.
Square canvases
| Canvas size | Approx. outside frame size |
|---|---|
| 45 × 45cm | 48 × 48cm |
| 60 × 60cm | 63 × 63cm |
| 75 × 75cm | 78 × 78cm |
| 100 × 100cm | 103 × 103cm |
| 125 × 125cm | 128 × 128cm |
Portrait canvas pairs — each panel
Each pair contains two framed canvases. The measurements below apply to each panel separately; add your chosen hanging gap when planning the complete pair.
| Canvas size | Approx. outside frame size |
|---|---|
| 20 × 30cm | 23 × 33cm |
| 30 × 45cm | 33 × 48cm |
| 40 × 60cm | 43 × 63cm |
| 50 × 75cm | 53 × 78cm |
| 60 × 90cm | 63 × 93cm |
Triptychs — each panel
Each triptych contains three framed panels. The 120 × 100cm canvas option uses three 40 × 100cm canvases; the 150 × 120cm option uses three 50 × 120cm canvases.
| Canvas size | Approx. outside frame size |
|---|---|
| 40 × 100cm | 43 × 103cm |
| 50 × 120cm | 53 × 123cm |
The approximate combined framed widths are 129cm and 159cm, respectively, before adding the two hanging gaps between frames. The approximate framed heights are 103cm and 123cm.
For example, leaving 5cm between each frame gives an approximate wall span of 139 × 103cm for the smaller triptych or 169 × 123cm for the larger one. The hanging gap is your styling choice and is separate from the small shadow gap inside each frame.
Pairs and triptychs
For a pair, the stated per-panel size applies to each of the two canvases. For a triptych, check the per-panel dimensions shown in the size option. The combined canvas width is not the final wall span: allow for each panel’s frame and your chosen hanging gaps between panels.
