Canvas Stretching Services in Mississauga
At Pazan Gallery we use kiln-dried and knot-free basswood stretcher frames manufactured in Canada. This type of wood is light yet strong, making it ideal for the larger dimensions. 

Pazán Gallery stretches all its client's canvases onsite. This is an important factor when working with canvases and stretcher frames since these materials are sensitive to temperature and relative humidity. Care must me taken to ensure the canvas is stretched tightly once both materials have had time to cure and acclimate. This slow and precise step is critical to ensure the stretcher frame does not warp and cause the canvas to buckle in spots. ​
