Strainer - Product Details

Thin Wraparound Strainer, (W3)
The 1-3/4" thickness of our thin wraparound strainer is designed for art fabric to be wrapped around the edges. This means the sides can be painted (gallery wrap), eliminating the need for framing. The design of this strainer is an interlocking t-section created by insetting, glueing and nailing the inner and outer pieces of wood together. This design makes it extremely rigid with three times the tensile strength and warp resistance of a single length of wood. The front face of the "T" design has a beveled edge which raises your art fabric 5/8" off the face of the strainer. A 3/8" recess in back makes it easy to tack art fabric edges, allows for tighter corners, and the space to inset of a backing board, while still maintaining room for a hanging system. Artists who use a moderate to heavy touch should consider using the W3 option in order to prevent the appearance of lines in the paint film which can occur as a result of pressing stretched fabric into contact with the body of the bars or braces. It's a good value for the artist.
