White Picture Frames In London, by slowmo on Sept 5, 2007 23:34:11 GMT 1, Now I am confused. Musuem glass by definition is non reflective? Thats why it's musuem glass. Its a coating on UV glass that makes it museum glass. Your glass is clearly reflective, so I would guess you have UV glass?
Hell, anyway, great framing jobs and will definitely look to use them in the future.

White Picture Frames In London, by Strange Al on Sept 5, 2007 23:39:55 GMT 1, Not sure the reflective quality of the glass has anything to do with "museum" quality.
Here's the fine art trade guild definition of Museum quality glazing:
"Glazing must be free from obvious blemishes and of appropriate thickness for the frame size. Preferably museum-quality glazing should be used, ie glazing that blocks more than 90 per cent of all UV rays unless work is to hang where there are already controlled UV levels (eg some museums). Must be cut to allow sufficient clearance inside the rebate of the frame. It is not acceptable for the glazing to touch the artwork. For large items and for items to be hung in areas accessible to the public, safety should be considered, eg laminated or acrylic sheet may be advisable. Final cleaning fluid should contain only deionized water and perhaps industrial methylated spirit."

White Picture Frames In London, by slowmo on Sept 5, 2007 23:44:25 GMT 1, 'The right glass clearly matters. That’s why you should care enough to use Museum Glass®.
Believe it or not, choosing the right glass for your framing project can have just as much of a “Wow” factor as the choice of a frame and mat.
With Museum Glass you can clearly see the difference. It’s almost as if there is no glass at all. Reflection is reduced by over 85 percent, for the lowest possible reflection rating and the highest light transmission of all other glass on the market.
How does Museum Glass do it? Tru Vue’s Magnatron Sputtering, a proprietary manufacturing process, creates an ultra-thin coating on the glass that suppresses the reflection of visible light. This coating renders Museum Glass nearly invisible to the eye, allowing almost nothing to come between you and your ability to enjoy the beauty of whatever is in the frame. Imagine—optimal clarity for true color transmission. The highest brightness and contrast levels available. And the greatest color neutrality around.'
From the company that invented the coating and own the trademark for museum glass. They do then go on to say that their glass blocks 98% of UV light. I guess its just a terminology thing, but every framer I have every used describes museum glass as the 'f**king expensive non reflective stuff'

White Picture Frames In London, by skanky on Sept 5, 2007 23:45:08 GMT 1, Now Im confused , I dont think Museum glass by definition is non reflective. I think Museum level glass is more concerned with conservation of the print ie UV protection. I think Anti reflective glass is purely for effect were pictures are hung in areas with a lot of light. Might be wrong though. Found this link.

Just catching up on this thread:
Museum glasss is both non reflective and 98% UV + Very Expensive = the Bollocks
UV is just 98% UV block..

I've never used but now use UV glass on everything.
I've seen it at Elms and in private collections.
Its great but adds quite a bit to the price.

+1 to you all. again.
