Ensure your large-scale artwork remains perfectly supported with our HD Canvas Stretcher Bar Cross Brace - 48" Type C (1219mm). Specifically designed for frames 48 inches and larger, this cross brace is a must-have for professional artists, galleries, and framers looking to maintain canvas integrity by preventing warping and bowing caused by stretched canvas tension.

Crafted from premium kiln-dried, knot-free Baltic pine, sourced from sustainably managed European forests, this brace delivers exceptional strength and durability while remaining lightweight. Designed to seamlessly integrate with our Heavy Duty Stretcher Bars, this Type C cross brace is essential for frames up to 84" x 84" when paired with Type B cross braces, ensuring complete reinforcement in two directions.

For optimal stability, a cross brace is required for any stretcher bar over 40 inches, and the shortest length should always be braced first to maintain proper frame support. Whether you’re working on large-scale paintings, professional artwork, or gallery pieces, this Type C brace ensures long-term structural reliability for your canvas frames.
