    Canvas Stretching

    Canvas stretching is the process of taking a loose canvas painting or printed canvas and pulling it tightly over a wooden frame called a stretcher bar, securing it neatly at the back so the image sits firm, flat and ready to hang or frame. Ideal if you have a rolled canvas, a painting that has come loose over time, or a printed canvas that needs to be properly mounted — we'll make sure it's stretched evenly with no wrinkles or sagging, giving it a clean, professional finish.
