A Word About Glass
Whether you are framing a family photo or preserving an original artwork the right glazing makes all the difference. It is the glass that is protecting your art from dust and the environment including harmful UV light.
Here at Gallery43 we offer different options for glass depending on what is being framed. We are always happy to talk you through the various options and show you examples.
Standard Glass: This is the most affordable clear option for general use.
Non-Reflective Glass: Reduces glare in bright rooms allowing you to see the artwork clearly from any angle. Great for maps.
UV-Protective Glass: Essential for valuable or sentimental art as it blocks harmful ultraviolet rays that cause fading.
Art Glass: The ultimate choice for clarity and protection. Ask us to see an example.
Acrylic: Lightweight and shatter-resistance making it a safe option for large pictures and children’s rooms.
