| Glass is glass, right? Wrong. All glass is not created equal. In order to preserve, protect and get the most out of your artwork, you have some choices to make. And with a little knowledge, those choices will be very easy. What determines the glass I should use? Treasured Images will help you select the right glass for your project. The very fact that you are having your item framed denotes its value to you. The best choice for any framed item is to use glass featuring TruGuard UV Protection. |
| The single most important step you can take to protect your framed artwork from harmful UV light rays is to use Conservation Series Glass featuring TruGuard UV Protection. At Treasured Images, that is the ONLY glass we use. We use only the best in framing and conservation materials to ensure your artwork and mementos are protected forever. |
| Why Conservation Glass? We've all heard about the dangers of ultraviolet light rays-particularly to organic materials. Exposure to UV light causes organic material to break down. This is visible in the form of fading colors and embrittlement and yellowing of the materials that bear the artwork. These effects, once started, are cumulative and irreversible. The best way to preserve your art is to protect it from exposure to UV light from the outset. For starters, don't hang your art in direct sunlight or light it with fluorescent light |
| Conservation Quality picture framing glass is specially formulated to protect framed works of art from the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Tru Vue Conservation Series Glass insures that at least 98% of these most damaging light rays are filtered out before ever coming into contact with your valuables Conservation Reflection Control glass employs etching on only one side, eliminating the reflection problem with only a subtle softening of clarity. |
