UV Plexiglass
A superior product, this combines the lightweight, unbreakable alternative to glass with a UV blocking coating to protect your work from the ravaging effects of light. Conservation Clear Plexiglas from Tru Vue, the finest quality ultrviolet-filtering acrylic glazing available. 1/8" thickness, with over 92% light transmission. Each piece is pre-cut to perfectly fit your frame, and is factory sealed with paper coatings on the front and back - simply peel off the front and back coverings and your plexiglass is ready to go.
This looks just like regular glass, with no fuzziness or color shift. Almost unbreakable - this will not shatter or smash if your frame falls or is hit. Preferred for any earthquake prone areas or for larger artwork, as the lightness of Plexiglass reduces the weight of larger frames. Anyone submitting their work to galleries should use Plexiglass, as many galleries will not accept any artwork framed with glass.
This glazing has an invisible ultraviolet filtering coating on one side, blocking over 98% of the UV rays in sunlight and artificial light from hitting your artwork. Prevents fading and yellowing, dramatically increasing the lifespan of light sensitive items, such as posters, prints, color photographs and newspaper articles.
We recommend UV Plexiglass for any application where the work will be handled or moved about, as well as for any larger sizes of glass, 11" x 14" and up. The preferred choice for framing original work and any light sensitive items. Works well for replacing the broken glass in old frames, as well as adding glass to your matted prints, and giving both an added amount of protection. We offer many unusual sizes, for framing business cards, greeting cards and custom bookmarks.
Custom picture frame stores, take note - we offer a low cost, time saving option for acrylic glazing solutions for any standard size and ready made frames, offering a value-added option for increased protection of valuable client work.
