🖼️ Canvas Stretching & Framing in Kitchener-Waterloo

Have a rolled canvas you want to display? Or a painting you brought home from a trip? At PDR Custom Picture Frames, we specialize in canvas stretching and custom framing that turns loose canvases into stunning, gallery-quality displays.

From original paintings to digital prints on canvas, we help homeowners, collectors, and artists in Kitchener-Waterloo protect and show off their canvas artwork with craftsmanship that lasts.

Canvas stretching is the process of pulling a canvas print or painting tightly over a wooden stretcher frame, making it flat, taut, and ready for display. It's the essential first step before custom framing any loose or rolled canvas.

We stretch:

✅ Original acrylic and oil paintings

✅ Printed canvas art from online or overseas sources

✅ Travel souvenirs and handmade canvases

✅ DIY painting kits and gifts

✅ Family photo canvases

Once stretched, your canvas can be displayed as-is or framed to add a polished, professional look.

We offer:

🖼️ Floating Frames A modern look where the canvas appears to “float” inside the frame — no matting needed. Great for both modern and traditional spaces.

🪵 Custom Wood Frames Choose from a variety of wood tones and finishes to match your décor and enhance your piece.
