I haven’t had the time to paint on my ACF canvass’s yet.

I haven’t had the time to paint on my ACF canvass’s yet. But by the way they are packed, I see 100% 💯 class act promise. I wish I had more time (and more space) to paint. I’m finding a love for oil painting I thought would be difficult, but find it a loving and easy medium to work with. Water colors are more difficult, but are soft and revealing.

I’m going to paint with oils on my ACF canvass’s, when I can after my hip replacement in a few days. Old age sux, but you do get wisdom you never had. Bless ACF, I think your whole business is a shining example to a lot of low down rackets. Best wishes!

Cindy, thank you! Get well soon, the canvasses will be waiting. Can't wait to see what you paint.

Beautiful review, Kim — thank you. I always compare the new surface to riding a bicycle. You already know how to ride; you've been on the same one-speed for years. Now you've got a new bike — multi-gear, even an ebike — and although you know how to ride, you need to spend some time with it to really appreciate what it can do. Thanks for sharing — I'm sure it'll resonate with other artists.

EXCELLENT Frames and Canvas

These are the second lots of frames I've had from Graham and the team and once again I'm NOT disappointed. They are packed securely, they are EXTREMELY good canvas and the frames are perfect.
No hesitation at all in recommending ACF frames. (If I'm anywhere near them I'm going to drop in and 'blag' a coffee too!

Best quality canvas on the market

These canvases are such high quality. It brings me so much joy to work on them! The hard box backing allows me to combine acrylic markers with my paint without denting the canvas which brings a whole new dimension to my art. There is also an added bonus that I don’t have to spend thousands on framing afterwards. Just pop the frame back on! I’m totally hooked

My new favourite surface!

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from these canvases but they seemed good value so worth a try. I needn’t have worried. The surface feels so robust and with a subtle texture which I found suited my style and was lovely to use. Likewise, the frame looks great and was easy to detach/attach with 4 screws.

GAME CHANGER

Wow! I was totally blown away by the quality of the ACF canvas and floating frame. The canvas has a beautiful finish that’s a joy to paint on and screams quality. Easy to remove from the frame for painting ( 4 screws) so no risk of paint overspill causing an issue. Maybe it’s psychological but I felt the improved quality of the ACF canvas over my usual ones made my painting ability’s improve? I was certainly pleased with the results.
Price wise they are incredibly good value as I’ve priced canvases and floating frames separately before.
Great service tops it off for me… I’ve already bought more and will continue to do so. Photos are 20” x 20” deep frame.
Thanks ACF.

Game changer!

Love working on acf canvases. I have worked on huge ones and tiny ones and finally started to use the oak framed sets.
The canvas is excellent. But the best part about the sets is the speed of framing. No fuss. Perfect fit
I love the raw wood look but have experimented with staining it to. Very easy.
Recommended to all my artist friends.

I’m a Collage/Acrylic Artist

I’m a Collage/Acrylic Artist. I usually work on board as it need a hard, flat surface. I tried these frames initially because they came “ready framed”. But I was blown away by the quality of the product when I received my first order. They are taught, tough, canvases. A pleasure to work on. They fit beautifully into the frame, and…you get two in a pack at a reasonable price. What’s not to love.

The BEST EVER

Once again these are by far the best canvases I’ve ever painted on, Premium Quality like no other & I’ve even painted on some Big brand names but now for me ACF are the BIGGEST!

Great Quality Product - will definitely purchase again.

As a semi-professional artist I am always struggling to find the correct frames for my artwork. I usually paint on canvas board or deep edged canvas. Having seen these Deep Edge Oak Floating Frame & Box Board Canvases advertised online I thought I would give them a go.

Straight away I was impressed by the quality of the Board and frame and how sturdy they were.

The canvas was easy to remove from the frame (just 4 screws) and I found it great to paint on - a lovely stable surface and I am very pleased with the result.

I will certainly purchase again if they stay at the present price and would like the option to have the frames in other colours - e.g. black and white.

I have included some photographs.

I like them but they are very heavy

I like them but they are very heavy. I think I need a less deep edge next time but would recommend.

So Far I’m Impressed

I just started using one of these canvases and have to say I’m impressed. It’s different, but in a good way. I paint with lots and lots of layers of mixed media, and so far it’s handling things just fine. I love that when I’m done I have a frame that is ready and will fit square.

Hi Sue. 'Different, but in a good way' is exactly what we were going for. Keep piling on those layers, it can take it. Would love to see what you make.

Questions artists ask

Do I need to prime or gesso this canvas before painting?

No. The canvas arrives pre-coated with our proprietary gesso, ready to paint straight from the frame, for oils, acrylics, mixed media and fluid art. You can apply additional gesso if your technique calls for it, but it isn't required. TIP: For oils, mixing mineral turps and linseed oil into your underpainting works particularly well on this surface.

Will the canvas and frame stay stable over time?

Yes. The 100% Virgin Polyester fabric doesn't react to humidity the way cotton or linen does, so tension stays where you set it. The strainer is engineered and the canvas is stretched over a 3mm HDF backing: both dimensionally stable. The oak veneer floating frame uses an engineered particle board core, chosen because solid hardwood warps unpredictably. Independent research at the Victoria & Albert Museum found polyester showed no measurable loss of strength under museum conditions equivalent to 80 years of display.

Can the canvas be removed from the frame?

Yes. The Box Board Canvas can be removed from the outer frame if needed, which gives you more flexibility than a permanently fixed framed piece. The frame is also easy to stain.

How many canvases and frames come in a pack, and their final sizes?

The Deep Edge Oak Combo is sold in pairs - 2 canvases and 2 oak floating frames, matched and square on arrival. Sizes range from A5 (148mm × 210mm) up to 1000mm × 1000mm and A0 (841mm × 1189mm). Each canvas is pre-drilled and pre-screwed into its matching frame, ready to hang or remove with a standard Phillips screwdriver. The sizes are for the canvas (40mm depth); the frame's final sizes are +42mm on the L and +42mm W - the frame height is 44mm.
