30% off Full Primed Canvas Rolls
Primed Canvas Rolls typically are 25-50 yards in length - depending on supplier availability. Available in different widths and weights.
Typically 64" 13oz primed comes in 50 yards, 64" 16oz comes in 30 yards and 84" 16oz primed comes in 25 yards, but on occasion length may vary.
Unstretched Canvas (aka Cotton duck or Duck Canvas) is a heavy woven cotton fabric. Duck canvas is more tightly woven than plain canvas. Artists will typically stretch the fabric over a wooden frame as a surface to paint on.
Duck Canvas has a number system used commercially to describe the weight of the canvas, but the weight and # are not one and the same (ex. 10 duck is 14.75 oz/sq yd or 500 gsm while a 12 duck is 11.5 oz/sq yd or 390 gsm. Typically for a canvas 3x4' we recommend a 11.5oz or heavier canvas.
Please note that primed canvas weight refers to the weight of canvas after priming and not before, so a 16oz primed canvas is infact a 11.5oz canvas that has been double primed.
For floor cloths we recommend the 15oz unprimed canvas or 17oz primed canvas.
