Glass and Acrylic options
The type of glass you use greatly impacts the quality of picture frames and protects against fading of valuable artworks. We offer standard framing glass for all jobs as well as Perspex, non-reflective glass, and superior glass from TruVue® For any further information please feel free to contact us and speak to one of our framing specialists.
Standard framing glass
2mm thick standard framing glass. Blocks up to 5% of UV light.
Non-reflective glass
2mm thick non-reflective glass has a matte-like finish that scatters light to minimize unwanted glare. Blocks up to 5% of UV light
Perspex/Acrylic
General purpose 2mm thick framing grade acrylic. Shatter resistance safeguards against injury or damage to artworks. Perspex is a lighter option than glass and will block up to 60% of UV light.
UltraVue® glass
Engineered by TruVue® with an ultra-thin optical coating over a water white substrate, UltraVue® has a nearly invisible finish that:
- Virtually eliminates reflection — so you see the artwork, not objects from the surrounding environment
- Provides the highest levels of brightness and contrast available in any glazing — revealing details you won't see with ordinary glass

Natural timber frames
All frames available on our site are timber frames that are sustainably and ethically sourced. There will be variations in grain and colour for any moulding with a raw timber finish, white wash finish or light colour stain as they are made of a natural product which will vary from batch to batch. Natural timber colour may also change over time from being handled or due to light exposure.
