Frequently asked questions
What is behind the anti-reflective effect of ®claryl picture framing glass?
The glass contains a special ®claryl coating. This coating consists of special glass. The coating allows more light to pass through, which means that there is less reflectance and the colours in a picture remain realistic.
In what way does ®claryl picture framing glass differ from engraved glass?
Before the existence of anti-reflective glass, etched glass was widely used. The disadvantage of this is that the colours of the framed work fade and lines are less sharp. This is unlike today's anti-reflective glass, such as ®claryl picture framing glass, which ensures that the picture is beautifully displayed.
In what way does ®claryl picture framing glass differ from other anti-reflective glass?
The biggest difference is the price. Because ®claryl picture framing glass has a relatively advantageous production process, it is less expensive than other anti-reflective types of glass, whereas its quality and durability are the same. Thanks to the low price, anti-reflective glass is no longer the preserve of expensive works of art, but is within reach of a larger target audience. With the arrival of ®claryl picture framing glass, anti-reflective glass can now be offered for every framing job.
To what extent does ®claryl picture framing glass also protect against UV rays?
The UV protection of ®claryl picture framing glass is equivalent to the protection of ultra-white glass. If you are going to frame an expensive work of art, which is hanging in broad daylight, we recommend that you use a special UV-protective glass instead of ®claryl picture framing glass.
