The Foundation Cradled Panel is the benchmark for rigid painting surfaces. Our L-shaped bars are flipped upside down so the back of the bar contacts the back of the panel, creating a true cradle. This increases the gluing surface area, creating a solid and flat working surface. Cross braces at larger dimensions distribute support evenly across the entire panel, eliminating weak points and flex. It accommodates nearly any medium and is especially suited for encaustic or traditional glazing techniques.
