Why do artworks and photos need UV protection?

UV radiation is one of the main reasons why artworks lose their color over time and turn yellowish. Over time it breaks down the chemical structure of the artwork and causes the colors to fade. This is what causes photos and paper to become yellow and brittle. What makes this especially unfortunate is that the damage is irreversible. The damage is irreversible and can significantly reduce the value of the artwork, both financially and sentimentally. Therefore, it is important to protect your artworks from the damaging effects of UV radiation. Art Glass is an excellent solution for this.

Art Glass 99 is the best protection against UV radiation

Art Glass technology works using a special absorbing UV coating that blocks harmful UV radiation waves. This coating protects your artworks and photos from the harmful effects of sunlight coming from any angle. While regular glass allows a large amount of UV radiation to pass through, which can cause damage, the special coating of Art Glass reduces UV penetration to below 1%.

Regular glass vs Art Glass

Regular glass protects artwork well from physical damage, but like any glass, it has reflections. With Art Glass there is no reflection, meaning that a photo or painting in a frame looks as if there is no glass barrier between your eye and the artwork from any angle. Art Glass is an excellent choice when you want to protect a special photo, keepsake, or painting from the damaging effects of UV radiation, while still being able to view it without any visual obstruction. The only way to make sure that glass actually exists in front of the photo is to tap it with your finger.
