Canvas stretching is an indispensable part of a painting, and at Fantastic Framing, we offer one of the best canvas stretching services in the country. With years of experience, premium materials and expert craftsmanship, we provide Australia’s best canvas stretching service, delivering perfectly tensioned, gallery-quality results that protect and showcase your art for years to come.
Whether you want to display a spectacular piece of art in your home or you’re an artist getting ready to paint a masterpiece, you’re sure to love the way your canvas looks after our professionals have worked on it. We take great pride in the exceptional quality we offer.
A painting only lasts as long as the canvas does. That’s why professional canvas stretching is fundamental to extending the lifespan of a painting, as it aids in the preservation of the fabric. A stretched canvas painting also looks aesthetically pleasing and is an attractive way to exhibit and highlight the artwork’s beauty.
If you ask any artist, they will all tell you the same thing: there’s nothing better than painting on a stretched canvas. It provides a taut yet flexible work surface — and if the canvas is not tight enough, it causes sagging, making it quite challenging to paint on.
However, professionally stretched and primed canvases can be quite expensive, meaning they are usually only reserved for serious works. At Fantastic Framing, we like to level the playing field by offering cheap canvas stretching for Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth-based artists.
Stretching canvas is a task that requires professional skills and specialist equipment. Without the proper care and attention, the canvas could lose its shape and significantly degrade any image that has been painted over the top of it. This is why it’s important that a professional prepares a stretched canvas for you so that any artwork created will retain its brilliance and last for decades. Additionally, attempting to stretch the canvas on a frame yourself without experience is tedious and time-consuming and could damage the art piece you’ve worked so hard on.
Here’s why customers trust Fantastic Framing for professional stretched canvas solutions:

For oversized frames, we do not install a hanging wire as it can compromise the safety and stability of the frame due to its size and weight. Instead, we securely install two D-rings, which are a much safer and more reliable hanging method for large artworks.
Your frame will come with clear instructions advising you not to add a wire and to use the D-rings provided for proper support. This ensures your frame remains secure on the wall and prevents damage or accidents.
