GlazingHere at Gleesons we have an extensive range of glazing options that will enhance, protect and beautify your artwork. We will explain in detail the difference between these products and offer advice on the best product to choose.
The function of glass/glazing is to protect the artwork and, ideally, it should not be noticeable. Your choice of glass will be dependent on what the artwork is, the type, style and weight of the frame it is in and where it will be placed. Depending on the natural or unnatural light of the room, whether you will have a dedicated picture light above or below it, and many more considerations - these are the things we will discuss with you to ensure that the glazing option you choose is right for you and for your artwork. While our UV filtering glass cuts out 99% of harmful UV rays, this alone will not eliminate fading and other deterioration. All light, not just UV light, can be damaging as well as humidity, changes in temperature, pollution and moisture which are all contributing factors. Conservation framing techniques and materials will help minimise the risk of damage. |
