1 1/2" Heavy Duty Bars

These are the bars to go to when you have a large canvas that requires an exceptional foundation.
We recommend use of our braces for bars over 50", to maintain frame strength and mitigate inward bowing..
As a reminder, all bars are sold in units of one, not in pairs.

Addtional Information:

The Heavy Duty bars offer are absolute brutes. When you need a larger frame that can withstand the compression of stretching, this should be your go to bar. Like the Midis, it has the same pronounced round-over of the bar's face edge. Raised, rounded edges (as opposed to sharp, flat edges), greatly reduce the friction of stretching, allowing for a tighter, more even canvas face, while reducing the stress placed on the canvas and the person doing the stretching. The 3/4" raised edge has two other benefits, by lifting the canvas away from contact with the wood, and allowing a slight "fudge factor" for gallery wraps that have a sharp transition between the face image and its side.
