Glass Specifications

 

 

Standard 2mm Clear Glass
The type we use for most framing jobs. It is clear, but does not offer any U.V protection or anti-reflective properties.

Non Reflective 2mm Glass
It has a matt surface to the outer side of the glass whilst the inside is clear,
It is ideal for dark images that will create reflections, but does not offer any U.V protection

99% 2mm U.V glass
It is clear just like regular glass, it gives 99% U.V protection~ reccomended for Watercolours, Prints and items that may fade but does not offer anti-reflective properties

Crystal Clear 2mm AR- UV70 glass
It is anti-reflective and blocks 70% of the UV rays reccomended for Valuable Works of Art
If you want maximum protection and to enjoy your artwork without annoying reflections, ClearColour UV70 is the glass to choose. It is however, more expensive.
For example, using this glass in a 12" x 10" frame would add around £12 to the cost of the job. But in return you get the best possible viewing experience and the reassurance that your artwork is receiving the best possible protection from the damaging effects of UV light.
