Canvas float frames are designed to securely hold your artwork while preserving its aesthetic appeal. One of the key features of these frames is the strategic placement of pre-drilled holes. Located precisely 1/8" from the inside edge of the float frame, this detail is integral to the frame’s stability, ease of installation, and long-term durability. Please note that we maintain this measurement consistently; however, if you prefer that we do not pre-drill the holes, simply let us know. - [Discounts and Pricing](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/discounts-and-pricing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Pricing](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/discounts-and-pricing?hsLang=en#pricing) - [Discounts](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/discounts-and-pricing?hsLang=en#discounts) - [The Alliance Program](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/discounts-and-pricing?hsLang=en#the-alliance-program) - [Orders](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/orders?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Order Status](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/orders?hsLang=en#order-status) - [Shipping](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/orders?hsLang=en#shipping) - [Lead Times](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/orders?hsLang=en#lead-times) - [Returns](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/orders?hsLang=en#returns) - [About](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/about?hsLang=en) - [Printing](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/printing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Samples](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/printing?hsLang=en#samples) - [Proofing](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/printing?hsLang=en#proofing) - [Papers](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/printing?hsLang=en#papers) - [Sizing](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/printing?hsLang=en#sizing) - [Acrylic](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/acrylic?hsLang=en) - [Framing](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/framing?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Hardware](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/framing?hsLang=en#hardware) - [Frames](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/framing?hsLang=en#frames) - [Account Info](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/account-info?hsLang=en) - [Products and Services](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/products-and-services?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Gift Cards](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/products-and-services?hsLang=en#gift-cards) - [Mat Boards](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/mat-boards?hsLang=en) - [Accessories](https://learn.americanframe.com/hc/accessories?hsLang=en) [![White Logo](https://learn.americanframe.com/hs-fs/hubfs/White%20Logo.png?width=40&height=40&name=White%20Logo.png "White Logo")](https://www.americanframe.com/) 400 Tomahawk Drive, Maumee, OH 43537 [mailto:email@email.com](mailto:email@email.com) Copyright © 2026, American Frame
