PLEXIGLAS Gallery®

All PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100 products have the following properties:

Left: PLEXIGLAS Gallery® is the best UV blocker among picture glazing materials, offering almost 100 % UV protection. Right: Conventional picture glazing lets in these destructive rays virtually unhindered.

Maximum UV protection

Aggressive UV radiation (from sunlight or halogen light) is the main cause of color fading or aging and embrittlement of all kinds of materials. PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100 offers UV protection of at least 99.7 % (at a sheet thickness of 3 mm). PLEXIGLAS Gallery® therefore offers major benefits for glazing UV-sensitive artworks and objets d‘art as compared with conventional picture glazing (UV protection < 40 %).

Transparency and True Color Rendition

PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100 provides maximum light transmission in the visible wavelength of 380-780 nm. The light transmission of PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® UV 100 is 92 %. Moreover, PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® has no inherent color (such as a greenish, yellowish or greyish tinge), unlike other glazing products. That ensures absolutely true color rendition of the art objects behind the glazing. 

Low Weight

PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® is a lightweight, high-performance plastic. At the same thickness, it weighs only half as much as conventional picture glass (float glass).

Increased Break Resistance

PLEXIGLAS Gallery^® can be considered as safety glass. Its break resistance is up to eleven times higher than that of conventional picture glass. That prevents artworks from being damaged by broken glass.
