Collection: Polycotton canvas-covered frame

Stretched polycotton canvas: the stable, lightweight and versatile support for demanding artists

Designed to meet the needs of contemporary artists, Label Toile 's polycotton stretched canvases combine the suppleness of cotton with the stability of polyester. This fiber blend offers a balanced support that is both durable, lightweight, and pleasant to work with. Prepared with a universal primer, the canvas provides excellent adhesion for oil paints, acrylics, and mixed media. Its smooth, even texture allows for fluid color application and faithful rendering, from the first stroke to the most refined finishes.

A hybrid composition for lasting performance

Polycotton combines the essential qualities of two complementary materials. Cotton ensures good absorbency and responsiveness to touch, while polyester guarantees excellent dimensional stability. This combination prevents warping due to humidity or weathering, while maintaining consistent canvas tension. Lightweight yet strong, the polycotton stretcher frame is particularly well-suited to artists who regularly handle their work or work on medium to large formats.

A flexible and responsive work surface

The polycotton weave, often fine or medium depending on the model, offers a good compromise between precision and freedom of movement. The canvas allows for working with flat areas of color as well as layering and textural effects, without saturating the surface. Its flexibility makes it a popular support for a variety of compositions, from figurative work to gestural abstractions. Thanks to its studio preparation, the canvas is ready to use: no additional priming is necessary, except in very specific cases.

Choose the right polycotton frame according to your practice

Several criteria help in choosing a canvas frame suited to your artistic approach. The thickness of the frame is one of the first elements to consider. A gallery-style frame, thicker (up to 38 mm), is preferable for large formats or unframed works. For easel paintings or canvases intended to be framed, a standard frame between 20 and 25 mm will be perfectly suitable.

The canvas weight is also a determining factor. At Label Toile, our polycotton frames are available in weights ranging from 280 to 310 g/m², guaranteeing good durability even with generous paint application. Finally, the quality of the assembly contributes to the longevity of the canvas. All our frames are carefully assembled using mortise and tenon joints to ensure a robust structure that can be easily tightened with the included wrenches.

Maintenance tips to preserve the quality of your chassis

To ensure optimal longevity for your canvas, it is recommended to store it in a dry environment, away from extreme temperature fluctuations. Dust can be removed with a soft, dry cloth, without using any products or moisture. If the tension should weaken slightly over time, a few adjustments using the keys will restore the canvas to its original firmness without damaging it.

For artists wishing to create their own formats or produce custom series, Label Toile also offers a selection of polycotton canvases in rolls , with the same quality standards.
