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.   

All our products are mounted with Beva – Beva prevents acidic migration from the substrate from penetrating into the linen. 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.

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 1/2 " 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.
