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.
