Vive la FS Revolution

FS Revolution wedges

 

You might be wondering what makes our FS Revolution wedges so good. The high-density moulded plastic wedges grip the frame better than wooden wedges and they won't split or snap when being pounded into place. Our wedges are less prone to popping out and will keep your canvases taut and terrific. The classic black FS Revolution wedges have now been joined by orange and red wedges. Collect them all.

 
   

Claessens Acrylic Primed Linen available!

We now have Claessens 66AC Primed Linen. This is a rougher, even, slub-free surface primed for acrylic paint. Contact us for prices. Discounts available for large orders.

'Super' Museum Quality Profile

For large works requiring top-quality stretchers, in addition to our standard Museum Quality Profile we are now producing a ‘SUPER’ profile. At 42mm deep x 80mm wide, this profile is made out of kiln-dried Western Red Cedar. Click here to find out more.

 
   

Orange Wedges!

We like orange, but our REVOLUTION plastic wedges have always been black – until now! We’re taking votes for the color of the next lot – contact us, and if your favorite wins, you get a discount on your next order.
