Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of glass do you have available, and which one would you recommend for my artwork?

The types of glass that are available for framing are:

  • Regular (premium clear) Works well in any presentation hung in a controlled lighting environment
  • Non-Glare (reflection control) Ideal for minimizing glare and reflection when conservation grade UV protection is not a concern
  • UV conservation clear: For protecting artwork against damage and fading caused by UV light
  • Museum Glass anti-reflection picture framing glass with Conservation Grade UV Protection is the best glazing option available for art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes
  • Tempered Glass - Ideal for oversized items - Tempered glass is one of two kinds of safety glass regularly used in applications in which standard glass could pose a potential danger. Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass and does not break into sharp shards when it fails. Tempered glass is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass
