Choosing the Right Glass for Framing your Artwork

We have a wide range of glass options for customers to choose from when framing your Artwork giving a range of protection, reflection, and visual clarity.

To help you choose the right glass to suit your Artwork we wanted to give you an insight into our amazing Speciality Glass Options

Art glass 99 

This is a cost-effective glass that blocks out 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your Artwork from UV damage helping to prevent fading and damage to Artwork composition. There is a reflection on this Glass so we would recommend avoiding this if Artwork will be in a room with bright lights or sunlight as it will not give you the best view of your Artwork.

Artglass UV70 (Invisible Glass)

In our Ironbridge Gallery, we have a display case that shows Invisible Glass compared to the Standard Glass. Every day, without fail, we have customers comment on how incredible the Invisible Glass is because you can’t even see its there! Available in 2mm and 3mm thickness, this glass blocks out 70% of UV Rays, has less than 1% light reflection as well as maximum optical clarity to enhance colour and texture of Artwork.

Artglass UV99 (Invisible Glass)

UV Rays are responsible for causing irreversible damage not only fading your beautiful Artwork but also breaking down the chemical composition of the Artwork that can cause the paper to become brittle and weak. To give your Artwork the best level of protection is our Artglass UV99 Invisible Artglass. As well as blocking out 99% of UV Rays this gives less than 1% light reflection and gives maximum optical clarity to enhance colour and texture of Artwork.

Artglass UV99 Secure (Invisible Glass)

For larger pieces of Artwork, this 4.4mm laminate is made of two panes of glass bonded by a polyvinyl butyral layer that stops the glass from shattering when broken. In addition to this glass being safety conscious you also get all the benefits of Artglass UV99 Invisible glass; blocking out 99% of UV Rays,  less than 1% light reflection and gives maximum optical clarity to enhance texture and colour of Artwork.

To see for yourself how Artglass makes such a difference arrange a consultation at our Gallery in Ironbridge, Shropshire where we can show you examples and samples of all these options to help preserve and beautiful present your Artwork!
