We will be adding some more stretcher bar sizes to our website over the next couple of weeks. This means that you now have more options as to what size canvas you can purchase. 

All our stretcher bars come complete with plastic corner wedges shaped perfectly to fit the 4 corners of the canvas print. These are added right at the end of assembling the canvas & are lightly tapped into the 4 corners thus pushing & stretching the canvas outwards. This makes the canvas really tight & makes for a much better finish.

As 2008 is nearly over we thought it would be an ideal time to add some new canvas prints to our website ready for 2009. Canvases will be added to all our categories: 3 Part Canvas, 4 Part Canvas. Abstract, Animals & Wildlife, Cityscapes, Flowers, Landscapes, Legends, Local to us in Essex, Seascapes, Superheroes & Weather.

So check back reguarly to see the new prints!!

We have recently added some new Black & White canvas prints to our website. We never realised how popular they are until recently. After a number of requests we have now added some black & white prints to our Cityscapes & Landscapes categories. These include prints of the New York City skyline & the Brooklyn Bridge but there are many others & we plan on adding even more shortly.

If you like the look of our canvas prints then if you live local to us you can now view some of them in person. Flowerscenta in Long Melford, Suffolk now have many of our prints for sale in their shop. Flowerscenta currently have mainly Flowers, Animals & Abstract canvases on display but the shop owners can always help you if you require something else. You can either purchase the print you like from Flowerscenta but we would rather you let Flowerscenta contact us & we will print you a fresh new canvas & then either post or deliver directly to you.

Following on from our last post we have had 2 more photos sent to us from another happy customer. All 4 of the canvas prints can be found in our Flowers category. These prints are all 12×12 square.  The first photo shows a Golden Gerbera, Mauve Daisy & a Red Hibiscus. The second photo shows a single Pale Pink Gerbera.

Late last week we were very pleased to receive a couple of photos from a customer showing the canvas prints we did for them on their wall. We have included the photos below. The first photo shows our Jersey Lighthouse print which can be found here: http://www.choosecanvas.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7&products_id=174

The 2nd picture shows the print entitled ‘ Floating ‘  which shows 2 water lilies on the water. This print can be found in our Flowers section here: http://www.choosecanvas.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4

Choosecanvas use only top grade 1.5 inch wide gallery stretcher bars (the wooden frame over which the canvas is placed).

The stretcher bars are made from light but very strong pine wood with male/female joints at each end to guarantee a perfect fit.

Our canvases come complete with corner wedges for maximum stretch.

Over time canvases naturally may sag a little. Should this happen tapping the wedges lightly with a small hammer will retighten the canvas.

This procedure can be repeated as necessary, to keep your prints ultra tight.

We use a top grade canvas with a water resistant property. This means all our canvas’s offer vivid color, high resolution & excellent lightfast and anti-aging properties. The special coating on the canvas enables prints to be stretched without any cracking which means a longer life for your canvas.

Canvas Specification:
- 100% Cotton
- 380gsm
- Water Resistent Matt Finish
- Whiteness - more than 90%
- Opacity - more than 85%
- Tested at 720, 1440 and 2880 dpi

The key point from above is the 380gsm. This effectively means we use a thick canvas which is higher in quality, can be pulled tighter around the stretcher bars & thus will last longer.

 Christmas is fast approaching & I’m sure there is at least 1 person you are

having trouble finding a present for. If you think they may like a canvas on

their wall but are unsure as to what one to purchase why not get them a gift

certificate. That way they can choose the print & size they want at a convenient

time for them.

We offer gift certificates in 6 different amounts £5, £10, £15, £20,

£50 & £100. These can be redeemed at any time & can be used to buy or put

towards any canvas/product of your choice. Whether it be an exciting landscape

print or a personal print, a gift certificate could be the answer to your prayers this

Christmas.

Simply purchase the gift certificate as you would a canvas. We will then email you your gift certificate within 24hrs.

We will shortly be adding some 4 part canvases to the website. These will mainly be found in the abstract section but may also be added to other sections in the future. 4 part abstract prints will look great in any room or setting. Whether it be at home, in an office or a bar/restaurant. Eye catching yet simple.
