Glazing Styles
So, you have artwork or a diploma, photo, or document that you want to frame and protect from airborne pollutants? The type of “glazing” you choose for your picture frame glass will depend on your budget, the items you are framing, and where you are hanging your pieces. Do you want a glossy shine or maximum clarity so that something in the art stands out? Or, maybe you’ll choose glass that doesn’t easily reflect light for a more muted look.
“Glazing” refers to the coating on picture frame glass or acrylic (Plexiglass) and the protection it provides to the contents. There are a number of glazing options. The most common glazing is regular picture glass, but there’s also non-glare glass, acrylic glazing, and a range of conservation or museum-quality glazing choices.
