Framing a prized piece of art requires choosing a frame type – metal, wood or plastic; the matting to protect and showcase your picture and the glazing. You can either elect to use glass or acrylic; both have their benefits and disadvantages. Deciding on the glazing that you use depends on your budget, how and where you’ll be displaying your piece as well as the need for conservation.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acrylic Is Lighter\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"alignleft\">\u003Cimg width=\"253\" height=\"199\" data-public-id=\"blog/Acrylic-Glazing-Frame-Destination/Acrylic-Glazing-Frame-Destination.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://res.cloudinary.com/frame-destination/images/w_253,h_199,c_scale/f_auto,q_auto/v1661443804/blog/Acrylic-Glazing-Frame-Destination/Acrylic-Glazing-Frame-Destination.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"Acrylic Glazing Frame Destination\" class=\"wp-post-775 wp-image-776\" data-format=\"jpg\" data-transformations=\"f_auto,q_auto\" data-version=\"1661443804\" data-seo=\"1\" />\u003C/figure>\u003C/div>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Acrylic is a resilient material that is less likely to shatter than glass, given the same circumstances. \u003Ca title=\"Acrylic Glazing\" href=\"https://www.framedestination.com/framing-supplies/glass-and-acrylic.html\">Acrylic glazing\u003C/a> is best used in larger format artwork and if shipping will be a concern. If you will be shipping large pieces of artwork, the cost to ship will be cheaper and the trip easier – with less likelihood of breakage, with a picture framed with acrylic glazing. Another consideration is if you artwork will be in an environment with children. Framed artwork with glass can fall and shatter, both the heavy frame and the shards of glass can be dangerous if young children are nearby.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Allows for More Light\u003C/strong>\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Acrylic lets in about 10% more light than standard glass, making it clearer and giving better light to view your work. Your artwork will shine with the clarity and radiance that was intended when glazed with acrylic. But with more light comes the greater possibility of damage from sunlight and UV rays.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Glazing Factors\u003C/h3>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Other glazing factors to consider are UV protection and glare potential and protection. The choice to use the optional UV protection on acrylic matters most if you need to conserve your art piece. A properly protected acrylic glaze should provide about 98% protection from direct sunlight. Another factor is decreasing glare and reflection. Non-glare, which has a single side chemically 'etched' to diffuse light, or anti-reflective, which has an optical coating applied to it. However non-glare glazing reduces the brilliance of your artwork, decreasing the clarity and color with a flatness to the glaze. Anti-reflective coating is more expensive, but the clarity of your work is not affected.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Custom Glazing with Plexiglas®\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr>\u003Cem>Frame Destination\u003C/em>, online retailers of custom framing and acrylic glazing uses Plexiglas® as their provider of choice.
