Ampersand Art Supply floater frame 16x20 Bold White — solid wood, 7/8" depth, includes hanging hardware

Artists often struggle to find floater frames that actually fit wood panels without scraping the painted surface or leaving gaps at the cradle. Ampersand redesigned the floater frame profile and base so the frame mates precisely with cradled wooden panels, protecting the face of your work while creating a clean floating border. This Bold White model offers a wide facing in premium hardwood and ships with a complete hardware pack so you can frame and hang the piece right away.

How does this frame protect the painted edge and face?

The frame's extended profile is set to sit slightly forward of the panel face, so the artwork doesn't touch the outer edge of the frame. The wider base aligns with the panel cradle to centre and support the piece securely. Countersunk screw holes in the back prevent fasteners from pushing through and scratching the wall.

• Extended frame lip keeps artwork recessed and safe
• Expanded base matches panel cradle dimensions
• Countersunk hardware holes prevent protruding screws
• Bumper pads protect wall and keep artwork flush

Can I use this Floaterframe with unstretched or flat panels?

Yes — the 7/8" depth model includes riser blocks for flat panels that lack a cradle. The risers lift the panel so it sits correctly within the rabbet, mimicking a cradled panel's profile. This lets you display flat or thin substrates without modifying the artwork.

• Riser blocks included for flat, uncradled panels
• Screws provided to attach panel to frame securely
• Works also with stretched canvas at the same depth

What comes in the hardware pack and how easy is installation?

Ampersand supplies a complete hanging kit so you won’t need extra trips to the hardware store. The pack contains eye screws, coated picture wire, attachment screws, bumper pads, and a hook and nail for immediate display. The countersunk attachment holes make assembly straightforward and keep the back neat and flush for wall mounting.

• Eye screws and coated hanging wire included
• Screws for attaching artwork to frame included
• Bumper pads, hook, and nail ready for hanging
• Countersunk holes simplify secure mounting

Why choose the Bold style in White for my work?

The Bold profile provides a dramatic, modern border that emphasizes negative space around the artwork and complements a wide range of styles. White offers a clean, neutral contrast to vibrant colours and textured surfaces. The Bold outer dimensions remain consistent across depths, so you can use matching frames for collections with mixed cradle depths.

• Wide facing creates a strong visual border
• Neutral white finish suits many palettes and media
• Uniform outer size across depths for cohesive displays
• Premium hardwood offers a solid, long-lasting frame
