Choosing a Stretcher Profile Bar
Profile 1 - Round Edge Bar
Our standard heavy duty Profile 1 - Round Edge Bar features a 38mm (1.49") outer side with slight rounded top edge. Renown for its optimum strength, our Profile 1 - Round Edge Bars are made from the best European re-forested timber, kiln dried and knot-free pine. The Round Edge Bar has been finger spliced - this is a method of bonding pieces of lumber together to form a very long, straight bar, that actually makes it a stronger support for your canvas. Each Bar's profile has a 1/3" rise to prevent sagging and each bar is slightly rounded at the top edge, which is ideal for accomodating various canvas and linen weights.
Profile 2 - PQ Bar
PQ Bars are made from carefully selected, knot-free, kiln-dried pine. PQ bars are especially suited to non-framed work because of their wide profile.
Profile 3 - Sharp Edge Bar
Our customised Profile 3 - Sharp Edge Bar features a 38mm (1.49") outer side but unlike out Profile 1 - Round Edge bar's rounded top edge, the Profile 3 - Sharp Edge Bar features a square edge for a clean, sharp edge after stretching. Sharp Edge Bars are made from the best European re-forested timber, kiln dried and knot-free pine. The Profile 3 - Sharp Edge Bar has been finger spliced - this is a method of bonding pieces of lumber together to form a very long, straight bar, that actually makes it a stronger support for your canvas. Each Sharp Edge Bar's profile has a 1/3" rise to prevent sagging and each bar is squared at the top edge for a clean, sharp edge after stretching.
