Canvas Varnish Coating

Canvas Protection - Protect you canvas from damage with our protection layer.

Here at Online Framing India we highly recommend our canvas protection service. The process involves involves our production team spraying your canvas with two even layers of high quality giclee varnish. Unlike other canvas art retailers who paint the varnish onto the canvas using a brush or roller we have our own purpose built spray booth to coat the canvases using a high pressure spary gun system, similar to the ones used when spraying a car. This ensure a professional even coating with no paint runs or drip marks.

Customer are reminded that although your canvas will not fade or distort in colour, it is still subjected to damage or marking if not protected with our spray coating. Touching the surface of the canvas can leave oily hand marks especially on darker colours (e.g blacks and dark reds), and of course any areas of white are suseptable to getting marked. We highly recommend you choose to have your canvas sprayed, not only to protect it from marks and dust, but to give that satin sheen to the product which makes all of the colours in the print even more vibrant.

Are you hanging your canvas in an area where it is likely to get touched or dusty?

The protection service was orignally designed for clubs, pubs and restaurants owners who wanted to hang canvases in busy areas where customers of all kinds were likely to run there hands all over them, or accidently touch them as they walked past causing possible damage. Do remember your canvas is a delicate piece of art and should be handled with care.
