The art appears as if it were floating in the frame because you can t see it mounted to anything.
Float mount floating art frame.
Float mounting is where all the edges of the art print or picture are exposed and then art is separated from the glass with a plastic spacer.
Perfect for displaying gallery wrap canvases where the staples aren t visible these wood picture frames allow you to easily attach a canvas to the stretcher bars with screws.
Then you can either buy spacers to hold the mat board with the mounted art back from the glass or you can cut scraps of foam board to the depth you need and insert those in the edges of your frame.
But if you want to have glass you will need to make sure your frame is deep enough for the float mounted art.
Float mounting means your art work photograph or watercolour is suspended inside the picture frame.
When a piece is floated its raw edges are visible as opposed to mounting where the mount covers the edges with the crisp lines of the card and when you look at it from any angle there is no sign of anything which fixes it in position.
