NB Frames are the makers of the high quality aluminium stretcher bars that we stock for stretching your own canvases. Now we have made a special purchase of ready-made linen canvases from NB. These are medium-grain 280gsm linen, triple coated with universal primer, with the 25mm deep aluminium stretcher bars and stapled on the back.
NBframe is an innovative aluminium stretcher bar system for professional artists, museums and restorers. Its patented design creates a perfect framework for canvas stretching, free from deformation, twist and warp caused by humidity or dryness.
The inner aluminium structure is made of premium grade aluminium and provides for optimal structural integrity and stability. The FSC certified outer wood profile is shaped to smoothly guide the canvas along the flexible edge and allow for easy back stapling of the canvas. The flexible outer wall absorbs excess tension and ensures evenly and consistently stretched canvas.

These high quality, assembled stretcher bar systems use triple primed Linen canvas. See below for specifications:
Grade: 100% Linen
Grain: Medium 1st Quality
Weight Unprimed: 280grs/m2

Share your views on your favourite products by submitting a product review on our website! Simply navigate to the product you wish to review and click on the ‘Reviews’ button beneath the product image.
To say thank you we will send you a free Jackson’s Studio Synthetic Watercolour brush worth at least £4.50 (one per customer), and automatically enter you into the monthly reviews competition. We’ll feature our favourite review of the month in our e-newsletter and award the author with a Jackson’s Studio Synthetic Brush set worth £19.95!
When you want to review a range of paints on our website, like all websites you will have to choose an individual product, like 60ml Old Holland Oil in Cadmium Red. You can’t review a whole range directly, but you can indirectly, because a copy of your single colour review also shows at the top of the whole range (in that size). Here is an example of what I mean: http://ow.ly/8s2Cv
