Choose the Right Custom-Cut Glazing

Choose Glass When

Clarity and Scratch Resistance Matter

Glass provides a traditional, rigid glazing surface with excellent clarity and everyday scratch resistance. Compare Tru Vue Anti-Reflective Glass for everyday glare control and Tru Vue Museum Glass when UV protection is also important.

The frame is small or medium in size
Reducing reflections is important
You want a traditional glass surface
The display is not frequently moved

Choose Acrylic When

Lower Weight and Break Resistance Matter

Acrylic is lightweight and shatter resistant, making it practical for larger frames and displays where safety is a priority. Use our acrylic glazing guide to compare all five levels of clarity, glare control, UV filtering, and surface protection.

The frame is large or frequently moved
Lower glazing weight is important
The display is in a school or public area
Break resistance is a primary concern

Conservation Acrylic Options

ACRYLITE OP3 and OP3 P99

Compare All Five Acrylic Options

Plan the Complete Framing Package

Glazing works best as part of a properly assembled framing package. Keep original artwork from touching the glass or acrylic by using a window mat or picture frame spacers. Confirm that the frame rabbet has enough depth for the glazing, artwork, mats or spacers, and backing board before ordering.

Acrylic Care

Use the Correct Cleaner

Clean FF3, P99, OP3, and OP3 P99 with a soft microfiber cloth and an acrylic-safe product such as our Acrylic Cleaning and Polishing Kit. Avoid abrasive cloths and household products that are not approved for acrylic.

Optium Care

Protect the Optical Coatings

Optium has a coated surface and different care requirements. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth with a compatible glass cleaner. Do not use acrylic cleaner or acrylic polishing compounds on Tru Vue Optium Museum Acrylic.
