Acrylic glass for picture frames<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

UV protection, safety, and brilliant image display<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acrylic glass is the modern alternative to traditional float glass. It is lighter, more shatter-resistant, and available with high UV protection, anti-reflection, or scratch-resistant surface depending on the version. But which acrylic glass is right for which project? <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Which factors are decisive when choosing acrylic glass?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not every artwork places the same demands on the glazing. Depending on the location, lighting conditions, and value of the image, UV protection, anti-reflection, and surface hardness play different roles. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Which acrylic glass suits your project?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> For living spaces, acrylic glass UV 90 is usually the right choice. For distracting reflections, Antireflex is recommended, while Optical HC impresses with its scratch-resistant surface. For museums and high-quality originals, Tru Vue Optium Museum Acrylic\u00ae offers the highest protection and presentation quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important note on electrostatic charge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Acrylic glass can become electrostatically charged.For charcoal drawings, pastel works, or very loose pigment works, we recommend real glass, as pigment particles can become detached due to static charge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
