UV light is one of the most damaging threats to framed artwork and photographs. It breaks down the structure of paper, making it brittle, and causes colours to fade over time — often irreversibly. UV-protective glass filters out the harmful rays before they can reach the artwork, offering long-term protection that standard glass simply cannot match.

97% UV filtration — far ahead of standard glass

UV-protective glass filters out 97% of harmful UV rays. Standard glass manages just 40%, and standard anti-reflective glass 60%. For any customer who values the longevity of their framed photographs, prints or artwork, UV-protective glass is the professional recommendation.

Protects both colours and paper structure

The damage UV light causes is twofold. It fades colours and alters pigments over time, and it also degrades the physical structure of paper — making it dry, brittle and fragile. UV-protective glass addresses both problems, keeping artwork looking its best and structurally sound for years to come.
