Ampersand Art Supply Floaterframe Thin 8x10 — Black Solid Wood, 7/8" Depth, Narrow Face with Included Hardware

Artists who work on cradled wood panels or stretched canvas need a frame that fits precisely and protects the painted surface. Ampersand redesigned the floater frame profile and rabbet depth to align with panel cradles, eliminate protruding screws, and leave a clean gap between the artwork edge and the frame face. This Thin style in black offers an elegant narrow face, included hardware, and a shallow outer profile optimised for 7/8" depth work.

How does this frame protect a wooden panel's painted surface?

The frame places the artwork just below the front edge so the painted face doesn't contact the frame, reducing scuffs and abrasion. The wider base matches the cradle, providing stable support across the panel edge rather than a single lip point.

• Extended profile keeps artwork recessed behind frame face
• Base sized to align with panel cradle for even support
• Countersunk back holes prevent screws from protruding
• Bumper pads included to cushion back corners against the wall

Will it work with panels that lack a cradle or with stretched canvas?

Yes. The 7/8" depth Thin frame includes riser blocks in the hardware pack so flat panels without cradles sit correctly within the rabbet. It also accepts stretched canvas when depth matches, offering versatility across media types.

• Riser blocks provided for flat panel installations
• Designed to fit 7/8" depth panels and compatible stretched canvases
• Hardware set tailored for secure attachment to various substrates

What hardware and accessories come with the frame?

Ampersand supplies everything required to hang and protect your framed piece: screws to fasten the artwork, eye screws with coated wire for hanging, bumper pads, plus a hook and nail for immediate display. Countersunk holes in the frame back keep fasteners flush so the frame sits flat on the wall.

• Screws sized to attach panel to the frame without protruding
• Eye screws and coated hanging wire included for wall mounting
• Bumper pads for rear corner protection and wall clearance
• Hook and nail included so the piece is ready to hang at installation

Why choose the Thin style over the Bold Floaterframe?

The Thin floater frame has a narrow, refined facing that emphasizes the artwork without overpowering it, ideal for gallery or minimalist presentations. Its outer profile for 7/8" depth is shallower than the 1 1/2" option, giving a lighter edge appearance while still providing the same protective recess.

• Narrow facing for a subtle, contemporary look
• Shallow outer profile specifically tuned for 7/8" depth
• Available in matching colorways to coordinate with your work

Who is this for: The Ampersand Floaterframe Thin 8x10 in black is made for painters, illustrators, and mixed-media artists who mount work on 7/8" cradled panels or matched-depth canvases and want a clean, professional display. It's particularly useful for creators who value a frame that both supports the panel edge precisely and protects the painted surface without decorative distraction. If you prefer a narrow, gallery-style frame with all hanging hardware included and a design that prevents screw and wall interference, this frame is a practical choice.
