Canvas rolls

Canvas in rolls — for large formats and stretching your own

Canvas in a roll is for when you need a lot of cloth at once: your own workshop, a steady flow of work, non-standard sizes, or stretchers of your own. This is not a cut for a single painting — a roll holds 30 or 40 metres of cloth, enough for dozens of works. Widths run from 48 cm to 1.52 m.

What the section holds

Every roll is 100% cotton with a medium grain and an acrylic primer: the cloth is ready to work straight away and suits oil, acrylic and mixed media alike. The primer comes in two kinds: white, the universal option, and black, a dark ground on which light and bright colours read noticeably more saturated.

Widths: 48 cm and 91 cm, wound to 40 and 30 metres, are the most used, covering work up to the standard formats. 107 cm and 1.27 m suit large canvases and panels. The 1.52 m roll is made to order, with a lead time from one month, and its price is confirmed by a manager. Orders of three rolls or more take a 10% discount.

When it beats a ready-made canvas

A roll makes sense when there will be many works in varying sizes. The price per square metre of cloth from a roll is substantially lower than that of a ready stretched canvas, but the whole saving disappears if you use two metres out of forty. For one or two paintings, buy a ready canvas or order stretching to your measurements.

What stretching requires

Besides the cloth you will need a modular stretcher of the right size, a staple gun with 8 to 10 mm staples, and canvas pliers for tensioning. If you would rather not deal with it, order canvas stretching to measure — we will stretch the cloth on our pine stretcher and deliver a ready base.
