Non Glare Acrylic Glazing - AcrNg

Highly reflective surfaces such as regular glass or regular acrylic may distract viewers from their artwork, due to a myriad of mirror-like reflections caused by lamps, windows, electronic displays, and any other source of light in a room. Even dark rooms have light sources, which cause reflections depending on the angle.

Non-glare acrylic, also known as Reflection Control, is a framing-grade acrylic sheet designed to minimize reflection so that artwork can be enjoyed from almost any angle. By diffusing the reflection, light disperses across the non-glare surface so that reflective clarity is lost. This characteristic also gives non-glare acrylic a sort of etched look.

It’s important to note that the non-glare finish is only on one side of the non-glare acrylic sheet, so be sure to have the non-glare side facing out toward the viewer. If there is to be any spacing between the art and the non-glare acrylic, such as shadow box walls or spacers, you might consider a different glazing option, as non-glare acrylic loses clarity as distance is increased. To clean non-glare acrylic, use the same techniques as regular acrylic – ammonia-free cleaner with a lint- free microfiber cloth.
