What is Acrylic Glass?

Acrylic glass – also known as Plexiglas – is a transparent plastic that is becoming increasingly popular in professional framing. Its special properties:

• Up to 50% lighter than mineral glass
• High shatter resistance – ideal for large formats or public spaces
• Excellent light transmission for brilliant color reproduction
• UV protection up to 99% (depending on the variant)
• Available in variants with anti-reflective or anti-static properties

Acrylic glass is available in various qualities – from standard glass to high-end products like Optium Museum Acrylic®.

Lifetime Acrylic & Optium Acrylic – Premium Protection for your Art

For the highest demands, we recommend using special acrylic glasses:

• Lifetime Acrylic: UV-resistant, durable, non-yellowing, and with excellent optical clarity. Particularly suitable for long-term framing in light-intensive rooms.

These glasses are particularly popular with galleries, museums, public institutions, and discerning private collections. Large-format works also benefit from their lightness and safety.
