AR glass?

Had a guy bring me a print framed behind acrylic and there's a lot of black areas in the artwork and he's concerned that all he can see is his reflection when viewing. I thought I may be able to use some sort of anti reflection glass but because of the appature mount and fillet I think the diffused stuff is out of the question so was wondering how the TruVue AR reflection free stands up? Looks like no UV protection though, any more suggestions would be helpful while I'm ordering from Wessex this week.

Hi,

I would suggest using TruVue UltraVue.

Glass is almost invisible - UV blocking is higher than standard glass @ approx 70%

Would not be considered as a conservation product (if that is whats required) - Next step up is to museum Glass

If you need UV protection as well, I would go for the Art Glass that Wessex do.

Art Glass is GL32 & Tru Vue is GL55 for the codes.
