Glass and Glazing

Thing you should know about the glazing in your frame.

Broken Glass

We replace broken glass with glazing to protect your artwork

 with the best product for your artwork. 

We offer the best picture glass and acrylic replacement in the market. 

 If you need conservation we offer it in clear or non-glare in both types of glazing.

New Glazing

Standard picture and conservation glass come in clear and non-glare to protect your artwork.

The right custom framed artwork can and will light up any room.

The only problem is that unfortunately the effect of UV (ultraviolet rays) from our indoor or outdoor light can and will damage your artwork, photographs, documents, collectibles, and any other artwork reproduced on paper. 

But I should say upfront--"No glazing will protect 100%"-,but with the use of conservation types glazing you can reach about 99% reflection of the ultraviolet rays.

The other major reason to use glazing is for physical protection by covering the artwork.

But what type of glazing are we talking about;

1) Picture framers clear glass or acrylic products

with our without UV protection.

2) Non-Reflective glazing -both glass and acrylic

3) Museum-grade glazing

We carry every type of custom picture framing glass (glazing).

You can replace it with regular picture framing glass that is used on

artwork that can be replaced or upgrade the glazing to

conservation UV glass for just a little more.

You might also think of replacing the “glass” with acrylic

 which will not break or be damaged if the picture frame falls again.

Most artwork purchased from retail galleries and

over the internet are framed with “window” glass type of glazing.

The problem this type of glass offers no protection

 from UV rays and is very easy to break.

 The other problem is these frames do not come

with proper wall hangers, hence they are subject to falling off the wall.

Special Need Glazing.
