The deep edge lifts the panel off the wall and lets the painting wrap around all four sides, which is what makes a frame unnecessary.

The 8 x 8 in Mont Marte Double Thick Signature canvas, with the size printed on its own label beside the 340 gsm cotton duck and triple-primed specification panel.
Description
The Mont Marte Double Thick Signature is the canvas you buy when the painting is meant to hang as it is, with no frame around it. The stretcher is 38mm deep — about an inch and a half — so the panel stands well clear of the wall and throws its own shadow. Paint carries around the four sides and the work reads as an object rather than a picture in a border.
It is stocked here in fifteen sizes, and the jump between them is wide on purpose. An 8x8 at Rs. 1,195 is a study panel you can finish in an evening. A 12x16 or 16x20 suits portrait commissions and the sizes most Pakistani buyers frame for a drawing room wall. The long 12x24 and 18x36 are the ones people reach for when a piece has to fit above a sofa or along a corridor. At the top, 36x48 at Rs. 10,015 is a commission-scale surface.
The cloth is 340 g/m² unbleached cotton duck — heavy enough to take a palette knife loaded with modelling paste, or a pour that puddles and sits, without the middle of the panel going slack. Three coats of acid-free titanium gesso are already on it, which is the layer that keeps raw linseed oil from reaching and rotting the cotton, so oils can go straight on with no further sizing.
The bars are kiln-dried pine, and every canvas ships with wooden wedges tapped into the corner slots. Canvas relaxes over the years, and more quickly through a humid Karachi summer than a dry Lahore winter. Two light taps on those wedges pulls the surface drum-tight again, which is why a stretched canvas of this build is worth re-tensioning rather than replacing.
Every size is back-stapled with the fabric folded in cleanly at the corners, so there are no staples along the sides to work around and nothing to hide if the finished piece is hung away from a wall or seen from an angle.

Pick the size on this page and the price updates.
Why is the 18x36 cheaper than the 24x24 when it is larger?
Because that is what the two sizes cost. Canvas pricing follows the stretcher bar lengths and how many of each size are made, not the surface area alone, so the long thin sizes often land below a square of similar area.
Which size should I choose for a drawing room wall?
16x20 and 18x18 are the sizes most buyers pick for a single framed-look piece. For a wall above a sofa, the long 18x36 or 24x36 fills the space better than a square. For practice work and studies, start with 8x8 or 8x10.
What is the frame depth and canvas weight?
The stretcher is 38mm deep — a 1.5-inch gallery profile — and the cloth is 340 GSM unbleached cotton duck. Both are the same across all fifteen sizes.
Can I paint on this with oils straight away?
Yes. It arrives triple coated with acid-free titanium gesso, which is the barrier that stops linseed oil from reaching the cotton fibres. No additional sizing or priming is needed.
Do I need a frame to hang it?
No. The 38mm depth and the clean back-stapled edges are what the double-thick build is for — the painted sides become part of the work and it hangs straight on the wall.
What are the wooden wedges in the corners for?
They re-tension the canvas. Stretched cotton slackens over the years and faster in humid weather; tapping the wedges further into the corner slots pulls the surface tight again.
How are the larger sizes packed for delivery?
