Gap Framing
A float gap is the space or void between the inner edge of your canvas float frame and the stretched canvas. It adds a visual resting space between the canvas and frame, much like a mat does for works on paper. It also gives the illusion that your artwork is “floating” inside the frame without touching it, an interesting visual effect that creates a sense of depth.

Creating a float gap is easy. Simply measure the width and height of your stretched canvas, including the areas where the canvas folds over, as these folds can add up to an additional 20mm to the overall size. Measure on the left, center, and right of your canvas to ensure it is square.
