Jackson's : Museum 140cm Centre Bar (15x58mm) : For 35mm Deep Bars : With Notch

Our new Museum Stretcher Bars will assemble to make solid professional stretchers for canvas that will not twist or warp over time. The key lies in the materials used and the treatments given. Only first class, 100% PEFC Certified pine is used. After the wood is kiln dried to remove all moisture from the raw materials, the pieces are finger jointed and triple laminated. By finger joining the pieces of wood the natural tendency for the wood to twist or warp is eliminated. Triple lamination takes this even further, protecting the wood from changes in humidity in the environment that may otherwise cause wood to expand.

Please be aware that our Museum Stretcher Bars are available in two sizes: the larger has a 35mm profile (i.e. it projects out 35mm from the wall). The smaller has a 20mm profile. It is not possible to mix and match: you must ensure that you purchase stretcher bars, centre bars and crossbars with the same profile depth. Remember when purchasing centre bars to match their length to the length of the shorter side of your canvas (i.e. the side parallel to the centre bar).

Our stretcher bars are sold in pairs; cross bars and centre bars are sold singly.

This is a Jackson's Museum Centre Bar measuring 140cm (15x58mm). It has a notch into which a crossbar can be inserted, and is designed to be used with the deep (35mm) profile bars.
