Ever since their introduction in early 2003 our aluminum strainers have had more and more artists switch to aluminum supports.
Our supports are perfect for a custom canvas or stretched canvas. We are your leading source for strainers and art supports, including print stretching and much more.
We first started offering one profile (1.5" deep), and now have over 25 different options available in between regular, foldable and collapsible strainers, panel bars, polyester backed strainers, aluminum frames, back frames and aluminum panels.
Almost every artist that has used one of our aluminum structures has not gone back to wood, and they know that there are many advantages:
HERE ARE SOME OF A FEW:
GUARANTEED TO NEVER WARP.
MORE DIMENSIONAL STABILITY, STRONGER AND LIGHTER THAN WOOD SUPPORTS.
LESS CROSS BRACING NEEDED.
FASTER MANUFACTURING TURN AROUND
MORE AFFORDABLE THAN OUR WOOD SUPPORTS.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLIER THAN WOOD.
PERIMETER SHAPE MAKES IT EASY TO HANG USING A WALL CLEAT
FLATNESS AGAINST WALLS.
FABRIC CAN BE STRETCHED WITH MORE TENSION*.
RECYCLABLE.
*SALE*

* Structure is stronger than wood, and in the case of wood structures when stretching fabric over them at a certain tension, the fabric creates an imprint on the wood, which then creates traction, thus reducing capability of stretching. In the case of aluminum, the fabric slides right over it allowing for ideal tautness.
