Ampersand Art Supply Floaterframe Thin 16x20 Walnut — 7/8" Depth, Solid Wood Gallery-Style Frame

Ampersand Floaterframe Thin 16x20 in walnut is a solid-wood floater frame engineered to fit 7/8" cradled or flat panels and protect the artwork while creating a clean, gallery-style floating presentation.

Artists often struggle to find floater frames that truly accommodate wooden panels and protect the painted face. Ampersand redesigned the floater frame profile and the base so the frame aligns with a panel's cradle and keeps the artwork recessed slightly behind the front edge. This Thin style in walnut offers an elegant narrow facing, predrilled countersunk mounting holes, and an inclusive hardware pack so you can frame and hang straight away.

How does this frame protect artwork while creating a floating look?

The Thin Floaterframe positions the panel so the face sits just below the front plane of the frame, reducing risk of scuffs and contact. Its wider base matches cradle dimensions to prevent shifting, while the recessed profile keeps edges fully visible for a gallery feel.

• Extended frame profile keeps artwork face set back slightly from the frame edge
• Wider base aligns with cradled panel rabbet for secure fit
• Glass-free display retains texture and true surface appearance
• Countersunk rear holes ensure the frame hangs flush against the wall

What hardware and accessories come in the box?

Ampersand includes everything needed to attach and hang your panel so you don’t have to source extra parts. The pack is designed for quick DIY installation whether your panel has cradles or is flat.

• Pre-installed countersunk pilot holes and matching wood screws for attachment
• Screw eyes and a coated 20 lb. hanging wire for immediate hanging
• Bumper pads for back corners to protect the wall and stabilise the frame
• Hook and nail included so the framed piece can be displayed right away

Will this frame fit my 7/8" panel or flat artwork?

The Thin 7/8" depth Floaterframe is versatile for both cradled panels and flat-backed works. If your panel lacks a cradle, the included riser blocks in the hardware pack raise the piece to the correct depth for a secure fit.

• Designed for up to 7/8" depth artwork (cradled or flat with risers)
• Riser blocks included for flat panels that require additional spacing
• Thin facing gives a minimal border that highlights the work without overwhelming it
• Available in other depths and finishes for matching multi-piece displays

How does the Thin style differ from the Bold floater frame?

The Thin frame delivers a refined, narrow profile ideal for subtle presentation, while the Bold option provides a wider visual border. The Thin 7/8" profile is shallower than the Thin 1 1/2" alternative, so choose based on the thickness of your panel and the look you want on the wall.

• Thin offers a narrow facing for an understated gallery appearance
• Bold has a wider face if you prefer a stronger visual border
• Bold maintains identical outer dimensions across depths for uniform installations
• Thin varies by depth to suit specific panel thickness and aesthetic preferences

Who this is for: The Ampersand Floaterframe Thin 16x20 in walnut is intended for artists, galleries, and collectors who want a professional, minimalist presentation for cradled wood panels, flat art with rigid backing, or stretched canvas up to 7/8" deep. It’s especially useful for creators who value a secure, flush hang, want to preserve painted edges and texture without glazing, and prefer a ready-to-hang kit that speeds the display process.
