Framing tip of the week.
What type of glass should you use on your next art project?
Premium clear is the least expensive. This is used 75% of the time, but in some cases will cause glare from windows or indoor lighting to obscure your art. Non-glare will eliminate this issue at a slight increase in cost. Purists may not like the fact that non—glare can sometimes distort the images you are framing. Neither choice will protect 100% from UV rays.
Consider using conservation glass over premium clear or non-glare.
Conservation glass will help reduce fading as well as keep the integrity of the artwork. The cost difference is minimal. Conservation glass is available in clear and non-glare. It will block 97-99% of UV rays.
A third choice is Museum glass . For clarity it is the best possible choice available. It has its purpose, fine art and highly collectible pieces would be a good candidate. The cost can sometimes be prohibitive.
Dennis’ call: For UV Protection & Price…go with conservation glass.
