What is a Keyable Art Panel?

Highly valued mostly by conservators, this inspired Simon Liu invention lends key-ability to fine art panels. 

The design of our Keyable Art Panels compensates for any looseness in the canvas while also providing an exceptionally rigid painting surface and overall support. 

This is the ideal art support for conservators restoring an artwork where rigid backing is needed, but they also want to stretch the canvas lightly, avoiding too much stress on the perimeters. From there, you can key it out for optimal tension.

Features

We are able to add keys to any of our custom rectangular shaped panel designs.
