What is a float frame? A float frame, as the name implies, is designed in such a way that the artwork appears to float within the frame; it is not pressed behind a piece of glass. Because of this illusion, viewers of your artwork gain a sense of three-dimensional depth when viewing the piece.

Place your canvas into the front of the frame. Normally when framing, the materials are put in from the back, but when using a canvas float the canvas sets in from the front. Flip the frame on its side while holding the canvas into the frame. Drill pilot holes through the predrilled holes.

Picture frames allow you to hang canvases while still protecting them. Framing a stretched canvas is quite different from framing a picture, since it does not require glass or a frame with a back cover. You can buy all of the materials to frame your canvas at an art supply or craft store.

What is a Floater Frame? Designed for artwork that is printed or painted on canvas, floater frames give art the illusion of floating inside the picture frame without touching it, which creates an interesting visual detail and a sense of three-dimensional depth in the overall display.

To determine the correct floater frame size, enter the size of your stretcher bar frame, measuring the straight sides from corner to corner. With standard finished floater frames, we add one inch to the canvas size to allow for a 1/2-inch gap around the canvas.

A floating frame (also called an inline frame) is a frame placed within the flow of an HTML document, like this: Sorry again! Microsoft Internet Explorer is the only browser that supports floating frames.

Types of Frame Tag

• Col: The col attribute gives the vertical frames.
• Rows: The row attribute gives the horizontal frames.
• Border: It specifies the width of the border of each frame in pixels.
• Frameborder: If a three-dimensional border needs to be displayed between frames, then we use this attribute.

The idea of the floating frame is to create an inline framed region, or window, that acts similarly to any other embedded object, insofar as text can be flowed around it. An inline frame is defined by the iframe element and can occur anywhere within the of an HTML document.
