New Stretcher Bar Frames

Profile S320 Stretcher Frame

I am happy to announce the addition of some new stretcher frames. Some of our customers have expressed an interest in stretcher bars that have more riser. The riser is the part of the stretcher bar that lifts the canvas off the face of the bar. We also had requests for a deeper stretcher frame and so we added profile S310 which is a full 3 inches deep. We also added our S320 canvas frame which is a brand new type of stretcher frame. It has a 1/8 inch rabbet on the back to allow gluing or nailing a foamcore to professionally close off the back of your gallery wrap. Once the foamcore is attached to the back of the frame you can attach a certificate of authenticity or artist statement.

All of our stretcher frames are composed of solid wood strainer stock. We professionally cut the wood to size and then hand glue and nail the stretcher bars into a complete frame for your canvas. Our frames come with perfect 90 degree corners that will not collapse when you stretch your canvas on them. In addition to saving you time, you may be saving money since our complete frames are less than some stretcher bars.

Celebrating 5 Years in Business

Frame Destination is happy to announce that April 2009 is our 5 year anniversary. 5 years ago I was an electrical engineer starting to go pro with my photography. I started doing some work for hire and purchased an Epson 2200 printer. I was thrilled to be able to do my own archival printing and not have to crop my photo’s to standard photo lab and frame sizes. I really like 13×19 and 12×18 picture sizes but discovered a serious problem with a lack of picture frames in those sizes. I decided to form Frame Destination to help solve this issue. Since then we added all kinds of other framing products such as clearbags, photo and dvd storage products, and most recently our new stretcher bar frames.

Less than a year after forming Frame Destination I quite my job, started hiring employees and moved it into its own warehouse production space. Since then we have expanded into additional space, and later moved again. This year we are expanding again and will have over 11,000 sq ft.

I really appreciate the great support from all of our customers over the years. All of our customer service employees have always commented on how they enjoy working with our customers.

Cheers,

Alternative to Stretcher Bars for Canvas.

Picture Frame Destination has added a new line of stretcher bar frames. Traditional tongue and groove stretcher bars are difficult to square and might collapse when you try to stretch the canvas. Our stretcher frames are ready made, pre squared and have permanent 90 degree corners. We use high quality solid wood strainer stock that we hand glue and nail together before shipping to you. Spend less time playing with stretcher bars and more time creating or marketing your art. We have five different stretcher strip profiles from our inexpensive small S110 frame that allows your stretched canvas to be framed in a traditional wood frame all the way to our two inch tall S150 stretcher frame ideal for gallery wraps. We offer our stretchers in over 60 different sizes in addition to full custom frame sizes. Note: if you are concerned that your canvas may sag over time you will still want to use traditional stretcher bars with adjustable corners.

Cheers,
Mark
