Jackson’s Museum Alu-Pro Aluminium Stretcher Bars and Accessories are a premium alternative to traditional solid wood frames, offering maximum stability and superior resistance to warping. Ideal for large or custom canvases, they provide a long-lasting, professional-grade support for your artwork.
Alu-Pro Stretcher Bars are made of spruce and aluminium. The wooden outer frame presents a smooth surface to the canvas, and can accept staples, pins and nails. The aluminium frame is used to bolt the whole apparatus together and maintain its rigidity even as the canvas tightens and relaxes in changing moisture conditions.
Lightweight and easy to transport, Alu-Pro bars are especially well-suited for damp studio environments where wood alone may warp. The combination of aluminium and spruce ensures both strength and conservation-friendly properties. Sustainably made, the wooden components are sourced from 100% PEFC-certified forestry.
