The Ideal Glass for Every Piece of Art: Protection, Clarity, and Elegance

We understand that the right glass can dramatically enhance the beauty and longevity of your framed pieces. Whether you're a professional artist, a collector, or someone looking to preserve precious memories, selecting the appropriate glass is as crucial as the frame itself. Let's dive into the world of framing glass and discover the best options for your artwork.

  1. Regular Glass: The Classic Choice

Regular glass is a staple in framing for its simplicity and effectiveness. Ideal for everyday framing, this standard glass offers a clear view of your artwork and basic protection from dust and handling. While it doesn't provide UV protection or anti-reflective properties, it's an affordable and accessible choice for less sensitive items.

  1. UV Protection Glass: Shielding Your Art from Harmful Rays

At Art To Frames, we highly recommend UV protection glass for preserving the vibrancy and integrity of your artwork. This specialized glass blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, preventing fading and age-related damage. It's an essential choice for valuable or irreplaceable items, especially those exposed to natural light.

  1. Non-Glare Glass: Uninterrupted Clarity

Our non-glare glass is engineered with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring that your art is viewed without distracting reflections. Offering 78% UV protection, it's a great option for pieces displayed in well-lit rooms or galleries. Enjoy the finer details of your artwork, as they were meant to be seen.

  1. UV Non-Glare Glass: Comprehensive Protection and Visibility

For those seeking the ultimate framing glass, our UV non-glare glass is the answer. It combines the benefits of UV protection with anti-glare technology, providing a clear and protected view of your artwork. Ideal for framing high-value prints, originals, and posters, this glass is suitable for items that require minimal depth.

  1. Museum Quality Glass: The Gold Standard in Framing

The Museum Glass is the epitome of framing excellence. With 99% UV protection and an optically coated, virtually invisible finish, it offers the highest level of clarity and protection. This glass is particularly recommended for artwork with intricate details, vibrant colors, or significant contrast, especially if displayed in areas with direct natural light.

At Art To Frames, we're committed to helping you make the best choices for your framing projects. The right glass not only protects your artwork but also enhances its presentation. Consider the unique characteristics of your piece and the environment it will be displayed in when selecting your glass.
