Glass - Artrahmen

As a leading specialist framing business in Berlin-Schöneberg, we provide comprehensive advice on glass for picture frames – from classic float glass and color-neutral white glass to museum glass with up to 99% UV protection. Our goal: maximum protection, perfect visual impact, durable quality – precisely tailored to the artwork, budget, and location.

The right glass significantly determines the overall impression of a framed artwork. While standard glass offers solid basic quality, anti-reflective glass ensures a clear view without distracting reflections. White glass impresses with high transparency and neutral color reproduction, ideal for photographs and modern art. Museum glass, in turn, protects against harmful UV radiation and preserves original colors for decades – a conservation solution for the highest demands.

We would be pleased to show you the differences in a direct comparison, so you can experience the effect firsthand. We provide individual advice on which type of glass optimally protects your art while also being aesthetically pleasing.

If required, we integrate glass with safety films or shatter protection that meets museum standards while offering maximum clarity.

We manage complete exhibition and gallery projects, handle glass management for series framing, and deliver directly on-site upon request. Every glass solution is individually inspected, tested, and optimally matched to the artwork, environment, and budget.

Types of Picture Glass – Properties & Advantages

Not all glass is the same – and choosing the right type of glass determines the overall impression and durability of an artwork. At Artrahmen, we offer a wide selection of picture glass solutions that differ in light transmission, protective effect, and optical effect.

Float glass is the classic standard: robust, clear, and cost-efficient – ideal for simple framing or temporary exhibitions. White glass (Optiwhite) impresses with its color-neutral brilliance, as it is free from the typical green tint of conventional glass. It is excellently suited for photographs, graphics, and modern art where color fidelity is crucial.

For the highest demands, we recommend museum glass – anti-reflective, color-neutral, and with up to 99% UV protection. It prevents distracting reflections and preserves original colors, paper, and pigments for decades. For strongly lit rooms or public exhibitions, UV protection glass is suitable, as it effectively filters harmful radiation without compromising transparency.

Acrylic glass (Plexiglas) is the ideal alternative for large-format or mobile artworks: lightweight, shatterproof, and optically clear. It can also be processed into special shapes and is particularly suitable for schools, businesses, and public institutions. Upon request, we supply acrylic glass with a scratch-resistant coating or anti-static surface – an added benefit for durability and ease of maintenance.

We advise you individually on which type of glass suits your artwork, location, and budget. We combine technical expertise with design sensitivity to achieve the perfect balance between protection and presentation. Thus, the optimal glazing is created for each artwork – aesthetically pleasing, secure, and professionally crafted.

Which Glazing is Right for your Project?

The choice of the right glass is always a question of light, space, and artwork. Each motif places different demands on transparency, protection, and effect – and this is precisely where our consultation begins. In our framing workshop, we take the time to get to know your project: the artwork itself, its environment, and the desired presentation. Together, we examine which glazing best suits your goals – whether classic, anti-reflective, color-neutral, or with maximum UV protection.

On-site, we show you various types of glass in direct comparison, so you can experience differences in reflection, brightness, and color effect yourself. We explain how museum glass, acrylic glass, and white glass differ in practice and maintenance, and find the solution that is both aesthetically pleasing and convincing from a conservation perspective. Let us advise you personally and experience how the right glass makes your artwork shine.
