Select your spacer

• You will select your spacer when you place your frame order.
• Measure the depth of your canvas. Under "Spacers" on the product page, select your canvas depth. Based upon the depth entered, it will state if a spacer is needed for that particular frame. The appropriately sized spacer will be built based on the depth of your canvas (or panel) as entered.

• Lay your artwork face down. Place the spacer on the backside of the canvas. The spacer will be slightly smaller than your artwork to ensure it remains hidden after installation is complete.
• Screw the spacer to the stretcher bars of your canvas or cradle of your panel using appropriately sized screws. You want the screws to be long enough to secure the stretchers to the spacer but not so long that they puncture the artwork face or surface.

Important:

• The countersunk holes on the spacer should be facing upward for proper screw insertion. One screw per side is sufficient unless the art is oversized, then add more at your own discretion.

Center and Secure Your Art

• Apply wood glue to your spacer. We recommend only applying glue to the four corners of the spacer. This makes it easier to remove the panel should there be a need in the future.
• Use our Canvas Alignment Kit to quickly center and temporarily hold your artwork in the floater frame.
• Apply light pressure, such as a book, until the glue has set.

Remove the Canvas Alignment Kit

• After securing, gently remove the blank cards before removing the bumper cards.
