Standard glass only blocks about 45% of UV rays. Over time, the remaining 55% will cause paper to yellow and colors to fade. Our Conservation and Museum options block 99% of UV rays, essentially acting as a permanent sunscreen for your art.
Standard glass acts like a mirror in bright rooms. Museum Glass and Anti-Reflective options use a specialized coating (similar to camera lenses) that allows more light to pass through, making the glass virtually disappear so you only see the artwork.
For very large frames or high-traffic areas (like kids' rooms or public foyers), we recommend Conservation Grade Acrylic. It is shatterproof, half the weight of glass, and provides the same 99% UV protection.
Absolutely. We have "half-and-half" display units in our Kelvin Grove studio that show the same image under standard glass versus Museum glass. The difference is usually startling.
Yes. While sunlight is the biggest threat, indoor fluorescent and LED lighting also emit small amounts of UV that can cause damage over several years.
For Museum and Anti-Reflective glass, we recommend a soft microfiber cloth and a dedicated ammonia-free glass cleaner (available at our studio) to avoid damaging the specialized coatings.
