We offer a wide variety of glass options to protect your artwork, photo or memorabilia.
Depending on where it’s going to be hung, we have a range of glass options that will provide the best protection and clarity, including:
- Float glass (plain glass): This is standard, reflective picture framing glass and offers around 60% UV resistance.
- Non-reflective glass: This has a treatment to the surface on one side which diffuses light in different directions rather than reflecting as a single plane. This allows you to hang the artwork opposite light sources or under spotlights without the reflection obscuring the artwork. Furthermore, you can view the artwork without the distraction of your own reflection.
- UV-resistant conservation glass: Recommended for high-value, irreplaceable, or fragile / unstable works as it cuts out 98% of harmful UV rays, which can cause discolouration or bleaching to your treasured artworks.
- Acrylic styrene (Perspex): This has the advantage of being lighter than glass and is also shatter-resistant, making it the perfect option for children's rooms. It lacks the rigidity of glass and can crack more easily than glass.
