Local Canvas & Fabric in Muniganeen QLD

What is a canvas and what are quality canvases used for?

Canvas is an extremely durable fabric used for a variety of purposes. Modern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen and classified by weight. Below you’ll find a list of the most common applications of this amazing material.

• Canvas is the most popular support medium for oil painting. Canvas is typically stretched across a wooden frame and coated with a chemical to prevent oil from damaging the canvas fibres. Cheap canvas material is also more affordable than expensive wooden boards.
• Specialist digital printers can create canvas prints or photo canvas. After printing, high-quality canvas prints are then wrapped around a stretcher and displayed.
• Canvas can also be used for shelter. Waterproof canvas tarps are often used as shade sails to protect children in a playground from the sun and rain.
• Other uses include sails, tents, marquees, backpacks and other products where sturdiness is desired.
