Our recommendation
Artglass AR 70
- Reflection under 1% — the veil of regular glass is simply gone
- UV block over 70%, a real upgrade on the 20–45% of regular glass
- Scores and breaks like regular glass, from either side — and three standard sheet sizes are in stock in Mārupe, shipping immediately
Stepping up in value? For photography and detailed prints, AR 92 raises UV protection to about 92%.
Our recommendation
Artglass AR 92
- Reflection around 1% with roughly 92% UV protection — made for photography and detailed prints
- Significantly extends the life of valuable but reproducible work
- Smooth coated surface that cleans like regular glass
When a piece crosses into irreplaceable, AR 99 Water White is the museum-grade step: 99% UV on water-white glass.
If reflections truly never bother anyone there, UV 99 offers a 99% UV block while looking like regular glass.
Our recommendation
Artglass AR 99 Water White
- The full museum-grade specification: reflection ≤ 1%, a 99% UV block certified to EN 410, water-white low-iron glass
- For originals, signed editions, watercolours, textiles — anything that could not be replaced if it faded
- The same glazing trusted from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam to the Forbidden City in Beijing
Hanging somewhere busy or public? AR 99 Protect adds a laminated safety interlayer to the same optics.
Our recommendation
Artglass UV 99
- A 99% UV block — genuine conservation grade — while looking and handling like regular glass
- The honest choice when reflections are already managed and fading is the real enemy
- Well suited to photographs, documents and paper-based keepsakes on a careful budget
Want the glass to disappear as well? AR 99 Water White pairs the same 99% UV block with under 1% reflection.
Our recommendation
Artglass AR 99 Protect
- Laminated: two glass layers bonded with a PVB interlayer — if it ever breaks, shards stay held on the film
- Museum-grade optics with UV protection raised up to 100% by the interlayer
- Built for display cases, high-traffic public spaces and travelling exhibitions
If weight becomes the bigger problem, Lifetime Acrylic delivers the same class of optics at roughly half the weight.
Our recommendation
Artglass Lifetime Acrylic
- Museum-grade anti-reflective optics at roughly half the weight of glass — and shatter-resistant
- About 99% UV block, meeting professional art conservation requirements
- Hard-coated to stay crystal clear where ordinary anti-reflective acrylics turn hazy
For a fixed installation where the feel of real glass matters, laminated AR 99 Protect is the safety-first glass option.
