A clear non reflective glass (not etched). Also called waterwhite, clear colour …
- Artglass has amazing Clarity, from certain viewing angles the glass is invisible
- Zero colour shift and provides up to 70% UV protection
- Designed to reduce reflection
- This image has not been altered or enhanced in any way and clearly shows how ARTglass improves the clarity
- Standard picture glass (called Float glass) is perfectly acceptable and used by many picture framers. However it does cause reflection and impurities in the glass can cause the framed image to appear duller
Standard
Standard regular picture glass (float) is approximately 2mm thick and is reflective. For large artworks, we recommend thicker glass
Diffused (etched) – Non Reflective
We have found our customers either love it or hate it (due to the slight loss of sharpness).
- We recommend, it works well when placed near to the artwork and will diffuse the light and is NOT suitable for box frames as it looks cloudy when placed at a distance from the image.

- Conservation glass effectively blocks upto 99% of UV light rays to protect the artwork.
