Frequently Asked Questions About Floating Frames Sizes

Measure the outside dimensions of your stretched canvas. The floating frame should match those dimensions exactly.
Do floating frames add size to the artwork?
Yes. The finished piece will be slightly larger because of the frame profile surrounding the canvas.
What are the most popular floating frame sizes?
Common sizes include:
Can I use a larger frame than my canvas?

Floating Frame Sizes Explained
Selecting the correct floating frame size is one of the most important steps in presenting canvas artwork professionally. Fortunately, floating frame sizing is much simpler than traditional picture framing. Instead of measuring the artwork itself and accounting for matting, glazing, and frame overlap, floating frames are sized according to the outside dimensions of the stretched canvas.
This means that a 24 × 36 canvas requires a 24 × 36 floating frame. The frame is designed specifically to surround the canvas while creating the characteristic shadow gap that gives floating frames their name.
Artists frequently use floating frames for original paintings, acrylic artwork, oil paintings, mixed media pieces, and canvas prints. The clean lines and modern appearance of floating frames make them suitable for homes, galleries, offices, and commercial spaces.
Whether you’re framing a small 8 × 10 canvas or a large 48 × 60 statement piece, choosing the correct floating frame size ensures a professional fit and a polished finished presentation. With hundreds of available sizes and multiple finish options, finding the right frame for your artwork has never been easier.
