GLASS OPTIONS
FLOAT GLASS
For a simple and straightforward solution, float glass is ideal for prints and posters in general situations. It's a classic option that serves the basic function of protection without any specific enhancements. As a framer, this is a reliable choice for all-purpose framing.
FLOAT GLASS – NON REFLECTIVE
For spaces bathed in an abundance of uncontrolled light, our Non-Reflective Float Glass comes into its own. This glass reduces glare and is perfect for framing items that don't require much depth – up to 2 mount boards stacked is recommended. It's ideal for prints and posters displayed under lights or opposite a window. This type of glass is not only shatterproof but also has a diffused finish, making it perfect for use in very bright rooms.
SILVERED FLOAT GLASS – MIRRORS
Mirrors, silvered from float glass, bring in extra light to a room and create an illusion of more space. Our vast range of mouldings enables us to tailor-make mirrors that enhance any decor style, thereby adding functionality and aesthetics to your interiors.
2MM ACRYLIC GLASS
Acrylic Glass provides a high-quality, lightweight, and shatter-resistant glazing solution. It's as clear as glass, easy to maintain, and shatterproof, ensuring the safety of your framed pieces. Especially recommended for larger frames or areas where safety is paramount.
2MM ACRYLIC GLASS – NON REFLECTIVE
Our Non-Reflective Acrylic Glass combines the best features of acrylic glass with a non-reflective finish. It maintains clarity while reducing glare, perfect for use in brightly lit rooms. As with our regular acrylic, this product is shatterproof, lightweight, and easy to clean, making it ideal for larger frames or when safety is a priority.
1.5MM CLEAR STYRENE
Styrene offers a more cost-effective alternative to Acrylic. It's a high-quality, lightweight glazing material, providing clarity comparable to glass. This is an excellent option for larger frames or places where safety is a concern without stretching your budget.
