Glass not only serves to protect and conserve your work but the visual finishing can also be rather spectacular.

We offer several types of glazing – be open to discussing your options with a consultant. Being able to see and touch the various options alongside your work goes a long way in helping along your decision.

• • Clear glass. This is considered our standard glazing option. It will be quoted as default and is the most cost-effective version of glazing available. Our clear glass is sourced locally, is of high quality and finishes off any frame beautifully.

• • Plexiglass. A transparent thermoplastic product – a shatter-resistant alternative to glass. Plexiglass has a lot of uses but it is generally used for larger frames where glass will become unstable. It is also popular for frames that require shipment as the glass cannot be shattered in transit.

• • Gallery Plexi. Highest quality Plexiglass available. Crystal-clear, shatter-resistant alternative to glass with the added benefit of 100% UV protection for conservation.

• • 99% UV Protective Museum glass (aka UV99). A conservational glass which provides 99% UV Protection whilst remaining optically clear.

  • Anti-reflective 99% UV Protective Museum glass (aka AR99). An anti-reflective conservation glass which provides superb optical clarity in addition to 99% UV protective qualities. The glass is designed to minimize all reflections on the glass surface. It aims to provide a pure-view experience when viewing artwork under different lighting situations.
