The Best Protection for Your Colors

Pictures of high personal or material value are presented in particularly exposed places. Photos, paintings, pictures or certificates are well lit to show off their brilliant natural colors. The required protective glazing affords a clear view while preventing access. But added to the risk of mechanical damage is the far greater threat posed by aggressive UV rays from sunlight or halogen light.

PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® is the best UV blocker among glazing materials. Unlike conventional picture glass (float glass), PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® completely filters out destructive UV rays; PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100 provides at least 99.7 % UV protection (at 3 mm material thickness). The colors, canvas and paper of the artwork are durably protected. PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® therefore complies with the highest conservation requirements.

The Best Protection for People and Property

When a picture with conventional glazing falls or is dropped, the floor is covered with a myriad large and small slivers with sharp and jagged edges. Injuries are almost inevitable. But they don’t need to be. PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® is eleven times more breakresistant than float glass. It withstands many a blow that would certainly shatter float glass. This is an inestimable advantage for picture glazing in public buildings like kindergartens and schools.

The New Benchmark for Artwork Protection

• PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100
  is a high-quality, highly transparent grade of acrylic with two gloss surfaces for glazing that protects the exhibit from almost 100% of UV light.
• PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100 AR (non-glare)
  has a non-glare surface on one side that diffuses disturbing light reflected from windows or lamps, for example. 
• PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100 MR (mar-resistant)
  retains its perfectly clear view for a long time, thanks to the surface coating with enhanced abrasion resistance on both sides. It also facilitates cleaning and care. Minor scratches due to incorrect cleaning are things of the past.
   

Ideally suited for lamination

The PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® products are ideally suited for lamination with photo prints, art and digital prints. This makes it possible to combine excellent brilliance and an impressive deep-view effect with high UV protection so that the colors retain their brightness for many years to come.
