![]() ![]() The difference between our professional, archival framing process and a simple print in a store-bought frame is significant. In short: you just don't need glass in your picture frames! The museum-quality coating we apply protects your photos from this effect and also makes the surface of the print more durable, giving you a lifetime of full-colour enjoyment. You've probably seen how some of your old family photos have faded the same will happen to almost any unprotected photograph. That same coating which protects your photos from liquid also protects your portrait from one of photography's biggest enemies: ultraviolet light. Photos framed without glass last a LONG time. The protective coating ensures your photo is durable, beautiful, and will stand the test of time. When we frame your portrait, we seal it behind a liquid-resistant barrier which you can wipe down with a clean (slightly damp) cloth should your portrait get dirty. Acrylic is also relatively expensive and does not protect your photo from ultraviolet light damage. Unfortunately the surface of acrylic is quite easy to scratch, even with a fingernail, so if your print falls or gets bumped it will leave an unpleasant mark. Our glassless framing provides the protection of glass without the risk - and glassless frames are lighter and easier to handle too!Īcrylic has some advantages, in that it is lighter than glass and less likely to shatter. If you ever drop the frame or bump it the wrong way the glass can crack or shatter! The sharp edges are dangerous to both your print and yourself. Glass in photo frames is intended to protect your photos, but it comes with unfortunate risks. With our protective coating you can see your photos as they were meant to be seen - clearly and without your reflection looking back at you. The glare from lights in the room and nearby windows takes away from enjoying the photo itself. The most annoying thing about photo frames with glass is the reflections. Definitely not! You can see here why that's true - wouldn't you enjoy seeing the Mona Lisa more if there were no reflections? We know how to protect your portraits without glass, and they will look better when you display them too. ![]()
