Glass
The suspension of images requires some preliminary considerations, not only in terms of the space or the choice of the frame but also of the glass.
float glass
Float glass is a simple 'normal' picture frame glass. The float glass process has offered the possibility of endless continuous production since the 1960s. Liquid glass is poured into liquid tin in an endless belt and then cooled. Float glass is the basic or flat glass for almost all areas. For the glazing of artworks, the thickness of 2 millimeters is used.
antireflective glas
Based on clear float glass, the anti-reflection glass is an anti-reflective picture glass with reduced reflections. It has a thickness of 2 millimeters and a light transmission of about 91 percent. The protection against harmful UV light is about 45 percent. The anti-reflective glass is the cheapest non-reflective glass version.
Clarity AR70 / AR92
The Clarity AR92 and Clarity AR70 glasses are particularly well-suited for deep framing when used with a passe-partout. In every glazing, the preservation of the colors of the artwork plays an essential role. Again, these glasses show advantageous properties because they are suitable for image framing of art, without affecting the color fastness. This preserves clear colors and high contrasts. The thickness of 2 millimeters ensures a long service life. The glasses are anti-reflective, easy to clean and have a light transmission of 98 percent. Their protection against UV light can also be seen: Clarity AR92 protects 92 percent and Clarity AR70 protects 70 percent from the harmful UV light.
