About us

Framers supplying framers

Baltic Frame SIA is a framing company in Mārupe, just outside Riga, Latvia — and an official distributor of Artglass by Groglass. We chose to distribute the glass we would use for our own work, and we supply it the way we would want to receive it: correctly specified, safely packed, delivered on time.

Why buy Artglass from us

  • We use what we sell

    Every product we distribute goes through our own framing workshop. When we recommend a glazing, it is because we have cut it, framed it and stood behind it with our own customers.

  • Full range, in stock

    All six Artglass products and the standard cut sizes are stocked for immediate dispatch — no waiting on factory lead times for routine orders.

  • Glass-safe logistics

    Sheets ship in wooden crates, packed through polyethylene foil in cardboard boxes, to every one of the 27 EU member states.

  • Trade terms

    Wholesale pricing for frame shops, galleries, museums and resellers, with volume discounts for regular buyers.

The manufacturer

Made in Riga by Groglass

Artglass is produced by Groglass — a world-leading developer and manufacturer of anti-reflective and high-performance coatings on glass and acrylic, whose products also serve electronic displays, museum showcases, lighting and architecture. From the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam to the Forbidden City Museum in Beijing, the world's leading institutions display their collections behind Groglass coatings.

For us the partnership is also personal: the glass is coated a short drive from our workshop. Buying Artglass from Baltic Frame means European-made glazing, distributed from its home city.
