Ampersand Art Supply Floater Frame 16x20 Thin (7/8") Black — Solid Wood, Ready-to-Hang

Ampersand Floaterframe 16x20 Thin (7/8" depth) in Black is a solid-wood, ready-to-hang floater frame engineered to protect and display cradled panels and stretched canvases with a clean, gap-mounted look.

Artists often struggle to find floater frames that sit correctly on wooden panels or that protect the artwork face while maintaining a minimal profile. Ampersand redesigned the floater frame to line up with panel cradles, keep artwork set slightly below the frame face, and include all necessary hanging hardware. The Thin profile offers an elegant narrow facing in a refined black finish, made from premium hardwood for a professional gallery appearance.

How does this frame fit cradled wood panels and stretched canvas?

The frame’s rabbet and base were expanded to match the cradle of Ampersand panels so the panel sits squarely and evenly. For flat panels without cradles, the included riser blocks for the 7/8" depth option raise the panel to the correct position so the floater gap remains consistent. Stretched canvas also fits securely thanks to the frame depth and included hardware.

• 7/8" rabbet depth sized to align with cradled panels
• Riser blocks included for flat panels without cradles
• Works with stretched canvas as well as wood panels
• Thin facing preserves a slim, modern profile

What hardware and accessories come in the package?

Everything needed to hang and protect your piece is provided so you can finish framing without hunting for extra parts. Hardware is countersunk on the back to prevent screw heads from protruding and scratching walls. Bumper pads, eye screws, coated hanging wire and even a hook and nail are included so the framed artwork mounts flush and stays secure.

• Countersunk holes to keep screws flush with the frame back
• Eye screws, coated wire, hanging hook and nail included
• Screws for attaching artwork and protective corner bumper pads
• Riser blocks supplied for 7/8" depth when needed

Will this frame protect the front of my artwork and hang flush to the wall?

Yes — the front edge of the Thin floater is extended so the artwork sits just below the frame face, preventing contact and potential damage. The countersunk hardware and included bumpers ensure the finished frame remains level and does not scratch walls, keeping your piece neat and display-ready.

• Frame face extends beyond artwork surface to avoid abrasion
• Back-mounted bumpers keep the frame parallel to the wall
• Flush-hanging design prevents screw contact with wall surfaces
• Durable hardwood construction resists warping over time

Who is this frame for? The Ampersand Floaterframe Thin 16x20 7/8" in Black is ideal for professional and hobby artists who use Ampersand cradled panels or stretched canvas and want a low-profile, gallery-style presentation. It suits makers who prefer a refined, narrow frame face, need an easy, complete framing solution with included hardware, and require a frame that protects the artwork edge while producing a consistent floater gap across multiple pieces. If you want a ready-to-hang, solid wood floater that simplifies finishing and exhibits work cleanly, this frame delivers.
