Glass & Anti-Reflective Glass (Non-Reflection) – Clear Protection for your Art

Glass is a central element in framing: It protects the artwork from external influences such as dust, moisture, or UV radiation, while simultaneously influencing visual perception. Anti-reflective glass, also known as non-reflection glass, allows for glare-free viewing while providing protection. At Artrahmen in Berlin, we offer a wide selection of high-quality glass – from float glass and UV-protective glass to museum glass.

What Types of Glass are Available for Picture Frames?

Depending on the intended use, artwork, and lighting conditions, various types of glass are employed. Our selection includes:

• Float Glass: The classic clear glass – cost-effective, clear, and stable
• Anti-Reflective Glass: For glare-free viewing without reflections
• UV-Protective Glass: Protects the artwork from fading and aging
• Museum Glass: Combination of anti-reflection and UV protection (up to 99%)
• Acrylic Glass: Shatterproof, lightweight, ideal for large formats

We will advise you individually on which glass best suits your artwork and presentation situation.

Anti-Reflective Glass – for Undistorted Art Viewing

Especially in conditions of strong light incidence or changing lighting, anti-reflective glass prevents distracting reflections. The image appears more vibrant in color, more authentic, and calmer. We particularly recommend anti-reflective glass for:

• Gallery lighting with spotlights
• Proximity to windows or direct sunlight
• Dark or highly detailed artworks
• Black and white photography and printmaking

At Artrahmen, you will find various qualities of non-reflection glass – also in combination with UV protection or as an acrylic glass variant.

Museum Glass – the Premium Solution

For the highest demands, we offer multi-coated museum glass: It is almost invisible, provides excellent UV protection, and displays the artwork without distortion. The reflection is below 1%, and color reproduction is excellent. Museum glass is used worldwide in museums, galleries, and collections – now also available for your private framing at Artrahmen.
