The Importance of Using Quality Glazing Products
Using the best choice of framing and matting is important to the overall esthetics of your framed piece. Equally important is your glazing choice for your art and memorabilia.
At Fastframe of Santa Monica, we frame many important and valuable pieces of art and personal memories. It is our goal to insure they remain well preserved over time. There are many different factors that may cause a piece to deteriorate with age. Among these are light, environment and handing procedures.
We recommend using the Tru-Vue™ series of Conservation grade glass and acrylic to protect your piece from the harmful effects of Ultra Violet rays.UV rays, either from sunlight or indoor lighting, can cause colors to fade and materials to weaken over time. Tru-Vue™ Conservation grade glazings provide 99% UV protection, the highest percentage of protection available today. This added protection insures that your precious artwork, keepsakes and collectables can be admired and cherished for years to come.
Using quality glazing can also protect your memories from indoor pollution, providing a barrier between the environment and your artwork. And there are also those unforeseen “oops” moments that occur around the house. Whether it’s a spilled drink or a child with a box of crayons, glazing can help protect your artwork from those accidental occurrences. When safety is a major concern, Tru-Vue™ has a line of scratch and shatter resistant acrylics. Whether it’s a child’s bedroom or a commercial setting where people congregate, safety is a concern that cannot be overlooked.
