SERVICE
Canvas Stretching
Canvas stretching involves securing artwork onto a wooden frame so it can be displayed without wrinkles or distortion. This process requires accurate measurement and even tension across the entire surface.
At Gallagher’s Gallery and Framing, canvas stretching is completed using precise techniques that maintain the integrity of the artwork. The goal is to create a smooth, stable surface that enhances the overall appearance of the piece.
Why Canvas Stretching Matters
Proper canvas stretching ensures that artwork maintains its shape and structure over time. Without correct tension and support, canvas can sag, warp, or develop uneven surfaces.
Canvas stretching is especially important for:
- Original canvas paintings
- Printed canvas artwork
- Large-format pieces
- Artwork intended for gallery display
- Pieces that will be framed or displayed without glass
Using professional stretching services helps preserve the quality of the artwork while preparing it for display.
