Ampersand Art Supply Float Frame slim 12x12 White 1.5" depth - protects panel edges, includes hanging hardware

Ampersand Float Frame Thin 1.5In 12x12 White is a slim floater frame engineered to cradle 1.5" deep panels or stretched canvas while protecting the artwork edge and simplifying hanging.

This slim white floater frame was designed specifically to solve fit and protection problems artists encounter when framing cradled wooden panels. The frame's interior ledge aligns with the panel cradle, the face sits slightly forward of the artwork to prevent scuffing, and the back features countersunk holes so mounting screws remain flush. Every necessary mounting component is supplied, so you can frame and hang a 12 x 12 piece quickly and neatly.

How does the thin 1.5" profile protect the edges of my artwork?

The Thin 1.5" profile extends the frame face slightly beyond the art surface so the panel edge does not contact wall bumping or shelf surfaces. This small offset creates a visual gap while sheltering the frontal face from direct contact. It offers protection without adding visual bulk.

• Face overhang keeps artwork surface recessed and shielded
• Precise rabbet depth matches 1.5" cradled panel thickness
• Negative space between frame and art improves airflow and edge visibility

Will this frame work with my Ampersand cradled panel or stretched canvas?

Yes — the Thin 1.5" model is made to fit Ampersand panels with a 1.5" cradle and is also compatible with stretched canvas of similar depth. For panels lacking cradles, the 7/8" depth version includes riser blocks; but the 1.5" frame here is ideal when your panel already has the deeper cradle.

• Built to match Ampersand 1.5" cradled panel dimensions
• Works with stretched canvas of equivalent depth
• Not intended as a flush-mount for ultra-thin panels without risers

What hardware and installation features are included to make hanging easier?

Ampersand supplies a complete hardware pack so you don’t need extra parts: screws sized for secure attachment, eye screws and coated hanging wire, bumper pads for back corner protection, and a hook and nail for immediate wall hanging. The frame back has countersunk holes so attaching screws sit below the surface and won’t scratch the wall or catch when hanging.

• Included screws, eye screws, coated wire and hardware for one-piece mounting
• Countersunk back holes prevent protrusion and wall damage
• Bumper pads keep the frame steady and protect both wall and artwork

How does the Thin style differ from Ampersand’s Bold floater frames?

The Thin style favours a narrow, elegant facing that emphasizes the negative space around the artwork, while the Bold style offers a wider facing and a more substantial visual border. For artists wanting a refined, contemporary edge, the Thin profile keeps attention on the piece without a heavy surround.

• Thin = slim facing, subtle visual border, contemporary look
• Bold = wider facing for a stronger frame presence
• Both styles come in Black, White, Maple, and Walnut for consistent collections

Who is this for: The Ampersand Float Frame Thin 1.5In 12x12 White is aimed at artists and galleries framing 12 x 12 cradled panels or matching-depth canvases who want a minimal, protective display solution. It suits creators who prefer a narrow visual border, need secure, flush mounting hardware included, and want a clean white finish that complements modern or minimalist work.
