No paperwork required — our customs broker handles everything behind the scenes.

About the AL-19

Our thinnest aluminum stretcher bar, the AL-19 is just 19mm thick (¾"), yet engineered for serious strength, straightness, and stability — even at large sizes.

Perfect for:

• Small to large canvases — up to 8 feet (2.5 m) in size

• Projects needing a slim but rigid profile

• low 3/16" (5mm) setback makes it ideal for re-stretching and mounting within a picture frame

• Environments with temperature or humidity fluctuations

• Artists seeking a professional, long-term solution for tension control
