Glazing is a term use to describe the covering whether it's glass or
acrylic.
One of the most important considerations in custom framing is
the glazing (glass) covering your artwork. The right glazing
provides the correct protection. The glazing should not only
protect the artwork from dust but protect it from Ultra Violet
light. Ultra Violet light, from all sources, whether direct sunlight
or fluorescent lighting causes deterioration. It contributes to
yellow and ghostly silver deposits may rise to the surface. If you
look at the framed precious family photo on the Gallery page you
can see the “ghostly silver deposits”. This has been caused by
exposure to Ultra Violet light.
At Framed Expressions Gallery we offer only Tru Vue glazing. With
several options available, we will help you to select the correct
glazing for you artwork.
MUSEUM GLASS
Museum is the best glazing option for all framed works of art.
Museum glass is the highest quality anti-reflective picture framing
glass available in the industry. Museum glass provides a nearly
invisible glass while providing 98% UV protection. It allows the
greatest amount of light through and the lowest light reflection in
the industry. The best glazing option available for your artwork.
AR REFLECTION FREE GLASS
This glass provides protection while giving a reflection free
surface suitable for any location. AR Reflection Free blocks 78% of
the UV light while allowing 96% of the light to pass through. Used
where reflection control is more important than conservation.
CONSERVATION CLEAR GLASS
A less expensive option, Conservation Clear is a clear glass that
allows your artwork to show while blocking 98 % of UV light.
Conservation Clear does not have any reflection control.
LAMINATES
An additional option. Great where breakage, moisture or the
weight of the glass is not desire. Available in a smooth velvet
finish or a canvas. The canvas gives the appearance of the
artwork done on actual canvas
acrylic.
