Follow these steps if you need to install a spacer on your artwork first.
Measure Artwork Depth
Each floater frame will list the depth of the Rabbet in the frame description.
Under "Spacers" on the product page, select your canvas depth. Based upon the depth entered, it will state if a spacer is needed or not for that particular frame. We will build the appropriate spacer based on the depth of your canvas (or panel).
Screws or Glue?
Center the Spacer
Center the spacer over the back of your artwork with precision. The spacer will be slightly smaller than your artwork to ensure it remains hidden after installation is complete.
⚠️ Important: The countersunk holes on the spacer should be facing upward for proper screw insertion.
Secure the Spacer to Your Artwork
Either glue the panel to the spacer or insert screws into the countersunk holes and tighten to attach securely and permanently.
✅ You're done with the spacer installation!
Now continue to install your art in the floater frame using the methods described above.
If it is a panel, just wait for the glue to dry and you're done.
