Flexible material with tension from all four corners. Many signs used for advertising elements, decoration, or visual branding are made using a stretched canvas. This fabric is comparable to a rigid panel, very flat, has no folds, and visually striking. For large formats, the stretched canvas is often taken into consideration due to its lightweight, making the transportation and installation procedure effortless at an exceptional price.
For additional protection and support, you can apply a variety of supports such as coated fabric, textiles, and films. Different material renderings can be adapted to your atmosphere and application.
For interior use, the most adapted product would be the "Rush Frame". This frame is made of rigid profile on the periphery, often in aluminum. It has a squared groove of 3 to 5 mm wide, set at a 90° angle towards the front of the fabric. This frame is often square or rectangular but can take other shapes, including curved ones. The canvas is equipped with a square welded or sewn ring around the edge which will easily fit into the frame. The tension will be achieved by the elasticity of the material during the installation. The fabric will be maintained by the rod which will be locked in the groove by the traction of the fabric. The stretched canvas is designed for interior use as it will not sustain windy conditions. This fabric is available in a backlit and non-backlit format.
For outdoor use, there are multiple ways to display your stretched canvas accordingly. For a long-term use, installation services may be required for the best result. For temporary or short-term displays like advertising campaigns or promotional operations, we provide installation services at a lower cost according to the frequency of the service. Contact us for more information regarding our installation fees.
For a backlit or non-backlit sign, the "Prismaclip" is a popular choice and also happens to be the most efficient frame. The edges and corners of the canvas are clipped in an aluminum frame, secured with additional support to lock the print into the groove. We carry a selection of aluminum frames adapted to multiple applications, which some can be bent into curved shapes.
For short-term or medium-term applications, backlit or non-backlit, we carry our "Rigiflex" frame in a fixed, or mobile option. This concludes to an easy installation procedure for our stretched canvas without any professional assistance needed. Our selection of outdoor frames can be found in our Exterior Frames and Lightboxes category.
The Snap Frame is often used for interior wall decoration but also for interior retail displays. The easy use of this product makes it suitable for short to medium-term applications (3 to 6 months), perfect for seasonal changes. The textile frame can also be used as a self-standing or double-sided frame. We carry a selection of options for each application.
We carry a selection finishing options available. The aluminum frame is available in anodized silver or black and white lacquered upon request. Other finished like wood and leather can also be achieved. The fabric often used for this frame is the Polyester, which weighs about 200g/m² with thermal sublime printing. Other fabrics can be used according to the desired rendering.
The double-sided banner can be used to indoor partition screen or custom office dividers. You also have the choice of selecting a solid coloured backside or making the fabric perfectly opaque, blocking out any light source passing through your print.
The Interior Lightbox is a stretched canvas made from a tension system, similarly to our non-backlit frames. The printed stretched canvas is offset by a background and light system located inside the box.
There are two options of lighting available:
There are several thickness sizes available depending on the dimension of your frame. Our standard options available are 45 mm, 70 mm, and 120 mm. The thinner the depth, the tighter the fabric will be, resulting in an exceptional light distribution. This prevents the focal light from being detected. For great results, we advise that you choose a 120 mm lightbox for large areas over 2 to 3 m², and anything under 2 m² to choose a 70 mm box. The 45 mm box is ideal for smaller formats.
It is possible to equip the box with a dimmer, which will modulate the power of the lighting according to the print from the backlit side. The aluminum belt and bottom can have different finishes upon request. Silver anodized, white RAL 9010, and black are the standard finishes offered. Other colours are offered upon request.
We have a selection of choices available for out non-backlit frames.
