GLASS

Tru Vue Conservation Clear - 99% protection against UV

Tru Vue Conservation Clear Glass protects artwork from up to 99% of UV light rays reducing fading and preserving artwork for years longer than regular glass. Over time, indoor and outdoor ultraviolet rays take a toll on artwork and cause fading. Paper can become faded, discoloured, and brittle, causing irreversible damage that ruins the artwork.

Tru Vue Ultravue UV70 – Water white glass, virtually invisible!

Tru Vue Ultra Vue provides an almost invisible finish for an exceptional, reflection free viewing experience. It’s like there is no glazing in the frame, the finer details of the artwork are easier to see and the colours are more vibrant.

Ultravue features a unique anti-reflective surface for truly amazing clarity and filters up to 70% of UV rays. Recommended for custom framing items that are not sensitive to UV damage or items that will be displayed in controlled light environment to limit UV exposure.

Glass is available as Auckland Only Collect.
