TRAY FRAMING: A MODERN OPTION FOR FRAMING WITHOUT GLASS
Tray framing, also known as "float framing" or a "floating frame," is a contemporary way to display your artwork and photographs. Ideal for canvases, panels and other artworks mounted on a solid substrate, this style enhances your piece without overlapping the artwork’s surface.

What is Tray Framing?
Tray framing is a distinctive style where the edge of the artwork remains visible. The frame can either be close to the edge of the piece or constructed with a space between the frame and the artwork. It is this space which can give the illusion that the framed item is floating.
• Contemporary Aesthetic: Tray frames offer a clean, modern look that enhances many artworks.
• Versatile Display: Suitable for a range of mediums, including canvas, board, and mixed media.
• Unobstructed View: See the complete artwork without the overlap of a traditional, rebated frame moulding.
