A beautiful artwork deserves a presentation that enhances it without distracting from it. The LUCA Floating Canvas collection combines a quality stretched canvas with a removable timber floater frame, giving artists a convenient way to create and display finished artwork.
Suitable for acrylic paints and oil paints, LUCA Floating Canvases help achieve the clean, contemporary appearance often seen in galleries and modern interiors—without having to arrange separate custom framing.
What Is a Floating Canvas?
A floating canvas is displayed inside a slightly larger frame, leaving a narrow gap around the artwork. This gap creates the illusion that the canvas is “floating” inside the frame.
Unlike traditional framing, the edges of the canvas remain visible. The result is a modern, professional presentation that adds depth and definition while keeping attention on the artwork.
Artists looking for more sizes and framing styles can also explore our complete Floating Canvas collection.
Canvas and Frame in One Convenient Set
Each LUCA Floating Canvas includes a removable stretched canvas and a matching natural pine floater frame.
Simply remove the canvas before painting, complete your artwork and allow it to dry thoroughly. The finished canvas can then be placed back into the floater frame and secured using the included mounting hardware.
Key benefits include:
-
Stretched cotton canvas ready for acrylic or oil painting
-
Triple-primed surface for reliable paint application
-
Strong kiln-dried timber stretcher bars
-
Removable natural pine floater frame
-
Mounting and hanging hardware included
-
Predrilled holes for easier assembly
-
Clean, gallery-style presentation
The natural timber frame may be left unfinished for a warm, minimalist appearance or customised with paint, stain or varnish to complement your artwork.
Choose Between Thick and Thin Edge Options
The LUCA collection includes two styles, allowing artists to select the presentation that best suits their work.
LUCA Premium Floating Canvas – Thick Edge
The LUCA Premium Floating Canvas Thick Edge offers a bold, substantial gallery appearance.
It features premium 12oz unbleached cotton canvas with a medium texture. The canvas is triple primed with artist-grade acrylic gesso over a foundation sealer and hand-stretched over heavy-duty kiln-dried stretchers.

Contemporary feature pieces
Artists creating textured or expressive work may also find our palette knives useful for applying paint, building layers and creating bold marks.

The LUCA Artist Floating Canvas Thin Edge provides a lighter and more streamlined presentation.
It includes a triple-primed 8oz, 380gsm cotton canvas stretched over an 18mm profile, together with a 31.5mm-thick natural pine floater frame. It is a practical and affordable choice for artists who want their work to arrive ready for attractive presentation.
This option is well suited to:

Smaller and medium-sized paintings

Complete Your Painting Setup
Before beginning your artwork, make sure you have the right painting tools available. Explore our range of artist brushes and brush sets, painting palettes and paint mediums to prepare your workspace.
Paint mediums can be used to adjust the consistency, drying time, transparency or finish of your paint, while a suitable selection of brushes and palette knives allows you to create a greater variety of marks and textures.
Why Artists Choose Floating Canvases
Framing can sometimes be left until the last minute, particularly when preparing for an exhibition, commission deadline or art market. A floating canvas set makes the process easier because the canvas and correctly sized frame are already paired.
It also allows artists to consider the presentation from the beginning of the creative process. The frame can become part of the overall design, whether it is kept natural, stained to deepen the timber colour, painted in a classic black or white, or finished in a colour taken directly from the artwork.
How to Attach Your Finished Canvas
Once your painting is completely dry:
-
Place the canvas face down on a clean, soft surface.
-
Position the floater frame evenly around the canvas.
-
Check that the spacing is balanced on every side.
-
Carefully secure the canvas to the frame using the supplied screws.
-
Attach the included hanging hardware.
-
Check that everything is stable and level before displaying the artwork.
Always handle a finished painting carefully and protect the painted surface during assembly.
Give Your Artwork a Gallery-Ready Finish
Whether you are creating for your own home, preparing work for sale or completing a professional commission, LUCA Floating Canvases offer a convenient combination of painting surface and contemporary framing.
Choose a bold thick-edge canvas for greater depth or a refined thin-edge canvas for a lighter profile. Either way, your artwork can move smoothly from the studio to the wall.
Explore the LUCA Floating Canvas collection and give your next artwork a professional, gallery-ready finish.
