For glazing, only high-performance Tru Vue acrylic is used (instead of traditional glass) based on its lightweight, shatter-resistance, and level of clarity. 

Our Standard Glaze is optically pure Premium Clear acrylic. It's a fine choice for many items, but UV rays may fade or discolor the artwork over time.

You can opt for our UV Protective version (Conservation Clear) to filter out 99% of UV rays that can fade artwork over time. This option is a good choice for anything that is irreplaceable, or if you are hanging the frame in a sunny room.

Our Non-Glare UV (Conservation Reflection Control) has a subtle, matte coating that diffuses light to cut down on reflections, and offers 99% UV protection. If you have added a mat to your frame, this glaze may cause a slight softening or blurring of the contents under certain viewing conditions.

Finally, the Optium Museum acrylic has a special coating that not only makes it virtually invisible in most lighting situations, also scratch-resistant and anti-static. You get crystal clear viewing along with 99% UV protection for the absolute best in display and preservation.

Clean and protect your acrylic with a microfiber cloth and an ammonia-free cleaner, such as rubbing alcohol. Never use regular window glass cleaner or paper towels.
