When it comes to framing your cherished photos and artworks, selecting the right glass is essential. At Gutenbo, we offer both normal glass and museum glass to meet your needs. Understanding the differences between these two options can help you make an informed decision.
Normal Glass
- Clarity and Appearance: Normal glass provides a clear view of your framed item, though it may have a slight greenish tint due to iron content. It's a practical choice for everyday framing needs.
- Glare and Reflection: This type of glass can cause reflections and glare under certain lighting conditions, which may obscure your view of the artwork or photo.
- UV Protection: Standard glass offers minimal UV protection, making it less suitable for items that will be exposed to sunlight. Over time, UV rays can cause fading and damage to your treasured pieces.
- Cost: Normal glass is the more budget-friendly option, making it ideal for framing less expensive items or pieces that will be changed frequently.
Museum Glass
- Clarity and Appearance: Museum glass is designed to be virtually invisible, offering the highest level of clarity and color transmission. It enhances the viewing experience by significantly reducing reflections and glare.
- Glare and Reflection: With its anti-reflective coating, museum glass allows you to enjoy your artwork from almost any angle without distracting reflections.
- UV Protection: Museum glass provides up to 99% UV protection, preserving your photos and artworks from harmful rays that can cause fading and deterioration over time.
- Cost: While museum glass is more expensive, its superior protective qualities and clarity make it a worthwhile investment for valuable or sentimental items.
When to Choose Normal Glass
- Budget-Friendly Projects: If you're framing items on a budget or frequently changing the content of your frames, normal glass is a practical and economical choice.
- Low-Risk Display Areas: For pieces displayed in areas with minimal direct sunlight or where reflections are not a concern, normal glass is sufficient.
When to Choose Museum Glass
- Valuable or Sentimental Items: For your most treasured artworks and photographs, the superior protection and clarity of museum glass ensure they remain vibrant and intact for years to come.
- High-Exposure Areas: If your framed pieces will be in areas with significant sunlight exposure or bright lighting, museum glass provides essential UV protection and reduces glare.
- Enhancing Viewing Experience: When you want the best possible viewing experience without the distraction of reflections, museum glass is the optimal choice.
At Gutenbo, we are committed to helping you preserve and display your art beautifully. Whether you opt for normal glass or museum glass, we ensure that every framed piece meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship.
