Crystal Polish Glass

Provides the highest optical clarity with museum-grade light transmission. Highly scratch-resistant and gives photographs an ultra-deep, radiant sheen. Best suited for stationary wall mountings and low-traffic interior displays.

Acrylic Safety Glass

Engineered shatter-proof polymer that rivals optical glass in transparency while remaining lightweight and resilient. Highly recommended for interstate shipping, homes with active children, and large frames (16x24 to 24x36).

Studio Cleaning Recommendations

Dusting: Use a dry, soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe surface dust from frame edges and glass.
Cleaning Agents: Spray mild glass cleaner or diluted soapy water onto the cloth—never directly onto the frame joints or wood moldings.
Moisture Protection: Keep frames away from direct moisture, wet walls, or direct humid shower areas. Our sealed backs protect against ambient room humidity.
