We offer several glazing options to protect your artwork - including the highest levels of UV protection and anti-refective glazing options.

When choosing glazing for bespoke framing, the right option depends on the artwork’s value, location, size, and sensitivity to light. There are several key types of glazing, each with distinct advantages. AT FRAME London, we are happy to guide clients through these options, ensuring the chosen glazing balances protection, presentation, and practicality.

  • Protecting against fading and light damage, UV glass is crucial for preserving photographs, works on paper, or valuable pieces over time.

    Frame London uses UV99 (Artglass) as standard. This glass has a 99% UV filter to prevent damage from UV rays.

  • AR glass significantly reduces glare while maintaining clarity and colour accuracy. It’s perfect for highly detailed pieces or artworks displayed in bright spaces, allowing viewers to appreciate the work without distraction from reflections. AR92 and Museum quality AR99 glass combine both UV protection and anti-reflective coatings.

  • Lighter and shatter-resistant, acrylic is suitable for large works or environments requiring safety—such as homes with children or public spaces. Available in clear, UV-protective, and anti-glare variants, acrylic offers both versatility and durability.
    Museum Optium acrylic combines near-invisible clarity with 99% UV protection. Though more costly, it’s the gold standard for conserving irreplaceable or high-value works.

While conservation framing represents a higher initial investment than standard framing, it provides significant long-term value by preserving the integrity and value of your artwork. Think of it as insurance for your art collection—protection that pays dividends over decades.
