Glass in a frame is needed to protect the artwork from dust, moisture, tarnish and damage.
Certainly for work on paper or textiles, sometimes even for an oil painting.
We work with a few different types of glass. Of course we have samples to show you the difference.
Floatglas
2 mm float glass is most regular.
Museum glass
Blocks 99% of UV light - Conservation grade protection against 99% of harmful indoor and outdoor UV light rays
Less than 1% light reflection - The lowest possible reflection rating available with UV protection
Optical coating - Optical clarity for true colour transmission and the greatest colour neutrality
Over 97% light transmission
Plexi glass
Acrylic glass is a lightweight or shatter-resistant alternative to glass.
Mirrors
