Standard Rabbet Frames (0.76" - 1.25"): The Versatile Choice for Everyday Art
The Standard Rabbet Frames collection is the most versatile and widely used category in framing, featuring a rabbet depth ranging from 0.76 to 1.25 inches. This range is specifically engineered to accommodate the most common types of artwork, including standard 3/4-inch stretched canvases and matted works under glass. It is the reliable, all-purpose solution for a vast majority of professional framing projects, offering a perfect fit for everyday studio and gallery needs.
The Ideal Solution for 3/4" Standard Canvases
The 3/4-inch thick stretcher bar is a staple for artists everywhere, representing the standard for canvases of all sizes. This collection is tailor-made for that need. A frame with a rabbet depth in this range (e.g., 1 inch) provides the ideal amount of space to house the 3/4" canvas plus a backing board, ensuring a secure and perfectly flush fit. This prevents the canvas from either "rattling" in a rabbet that is too deep or unprofessionally protruding from one that is too shallow.
The Professional's Choice for Matted Artwork
This rabbet depth is also the professional standard for framing works on paper under glass or acrylic. The generous depth comfortably accommodates the complete "art package": the glazing, a single or double mat, the artwork itself, and a sturdy backing board. This ensures that all components fit securely within the frame without pressure or buckling, providing an archival-quality presentation that is both beautiful and protective.
A Broad Spectrum of Styles & Finishes
Because this rabbet depth is the industry standard, it is available across the widest possible range of frame styles and finishes. You do not have to sacrifice aesthetic choice for a technical fit. This collection includes sleek contemporary profiles, elegant traditional designs, rustic natural woods, and modern floater frames. You'll find our best-selling profiles in classic black, white, gold, and silver, ensuring you can find the perfect look for any project.
