Quality Art Panels
There are many companies that make
"canvas boards." However,
we merge high quality linens with several different mounting
surfaces.
We mount our fine linens on Gatorboard, Dibond, Multimedia, and Birch
panels.
The adhesive used for all linen is archival, strong and
acts as a size. All of our panels are custom made and in addition to
the more common sizes, custom
sizes are available upon request. Please contact us directly for price
quotes.
For more information on any of these
mounting surfaces just click on the surface you are interested in
knowing more about.
Variety Packs
Not sure what linen or
priming is best for your style of painting? Try one of our variety packs. A
variety pack has one panel of seven different linens/primings that we offer. (It
usually contains one each of the L600, NL280, OG280, 350DP, 359, C13, & C15
in whatever size you order, all mounted on Gatorboard. However other
linens may be substituted but it will have a variety of primings and
linen weaves. )
Gatorboard
Gatorboard panels are a great choice for the artist. They
are a lightweight man made wood-polystyrene product.
The panels do well
in all types of weather. The standard panel is 3/16” thick. Those sizes marked with an asterisk (*) are mounted on 3/8 " thick
Gatorboard and 1/2" is used for larger custom sizes.
The panels are moisture proof and handle all types of
weather with ease. Whether you’re in rain, snow, or in the heat, the
panels hold up quite well. Our panels do not warp, wave, wrinkle
or change when they go from one climate to another.

Prices of Linen
on GatorBoard
For the artists that is going on long painting trips
where thickness and weight are an issue, we offer linen mounted to multi-media
board (non-buckle board.) This product is a blend of
paper pulp and a thermal-set resin that is acid-free. It has a neutral
pH and will not yellow or deteriorate. This art board is versatile
enough to be used with nearly any type of medium. The board is only
1/32” thick, which makes it the panel of choice when traveling, since
they are extremely lightweight and easy to pack. Multimedia panels can
also be mounted on a backing board to accommodate framing. These panels
are a custom item with sizes up to 16”x20”.
For those artists that want the more familiar Birch
panels we have that also. Our Birch panels are coated on the back to
reduce warping. We will mount any of our fine linens on
the Birch panel of your choice. The Birch panels are available in
both 1/8" and 1/4" thickness.
For artists that want to put their work on one of
the highest rated archival products, we are offering deluxe museum grade Dibond panels.
Dibond – is a sturdy archival aluminum composite material made
of two lightweight sheets with a thermal plastic core. It is coated with
polyester paint to prevent oxidation.
This panel line is conservator recommended. Any of our
linens can be mounted to the Dibond material. They come in 2mm
thickness for sizes through 24"x36". For larger panels, 3mm is
recommended. Dibond-backed panels are considered custom panels, so
please allow 2-3 weeks for manufacturing. We will make every effort to get
your order to you sooner. While higher in price, Dibond panels are a great
way for artists to preserve their fine works of art.
