Float (Standard Glass) -

max size: 1830 x 1220mm - thickness: 2mm

max size: 2250 x 1070mm - thickness: 3mm

max size: 2440 x 1605mm - thickness: 4mm 

 

The standard picture framing glass is 2mm but we can also obtain thicker glass for larger projects.

 

Diffusion glass (Traditional Non-reflective) max size: 1830 x 1220mm - thickness 2mm

Traditional non reflective glass is acid-etched on one side and therefore diffuses the light on the way out to reduce the glare in a high light environment.

This glass is useful if you are going to hang your framed image in a light source (i.e. an over head light or a window) that reflects into your eye when sat in your favourite chair.

However, due to the etching of the glass it does slightly reduce the visible detail. 

 

ARTGLASS UV 99 max size: 1727 x 1219mm - thickness: 2mm

Our UV protection glass blocks out 99% of UVA/B light from degrading the image over time.

This is great to protect any sensitive artwork from fading, particularly useful on pieces with value whether monetary, historical or sentimental. More information here. 

 

ARTGLASS AR99 WW (Water white) max size: 1525 x 1015mm - thickness: 2mm

This amazing low iron glass has a 1% reflection rate.

This is important as it allows 99% of light both in and more importantly out of the frame therefore making the glass look invisible.

This glass is a great alternative to Diffusion Glass, provided the image isn't too reflective. i.e. If you have a high gloss photo its great for seeing all the detail but the light will reflect of the image itself not the glass. More information here.

Silver float (mirror)

max size: 1830 x 1220mm - thickness: 3mm 

max size: 2440 x 1220MM - thickness: 4mm

Standard mirror is 3mm silver float glass, as it is a 3mm standard glass with a silver highly polished backing that creates a reflection. No bevelled edges on a 3mm mirror float. Safety backing available.

Bevelled mirrors 

​

Bevelled mirrors come in standard sizes and  are 4mm which allows 1 mm to be polished off 1 inch from the edge on the front surface.

Antiqued Silver Float

During the manufacture of the polished silver backing the silvering is chemically aged to give an antique effect.

​

Safety backed Silver float

Standard silver float has an added plastic backing, which on breaking prevents sharp pieces becoming detached.
