Our glass cutting services ensure that your frames are fitted with precision-cut glass to protect and showcase your pieces. We also provide glass replacement for damaged frames, allowing you to restore their appearance and functionality.

We offer two premium glass options from Tru Vue:

• Conservation Clear® Glass: Designed to block up to 99% of UV rays, this glass protects your artwork and cherished items from fading over time. Its smooth surface ensures clear visibility without distortion, making it a reliable choice for preserving sentimental or valuable pieces.
• Museum Glass®: With unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, Museum Glass® virtually eliminates glare while providing the same 99% UV protection as Conservation Clear®. This glass enhances colors and details, making it ideal for vibrant artwork or highly detailed pieces. Both glass options feature a durable, easy-to-clean surface for long-lasting protection.

Mat boards serve both an aesthetic and protective purpose by adding a decorative border around your artwork while preventing it from directly contacting the glass. Available in a wide range of colors and sizes, mat boards allow for creative customization, helping to enhance the visual appeal of your framed piece. Whether you want a bold pop of color or a subtle complement to your artwork, we can help you select the right size and color to best suit your project.

All our mat boards are crafted from high quality acid-free materials, ensuring the longevity and preservation of your items. Non-acid-free materials can release harmful acids over time, which may lead to yellowing, discoloration, and deterioration of your artwork or photographs. Using acid-free mat boards acts as a protective barrier, preventing damage caused by acidic materials and humidity buildup, which can accelerate the degradation process. By choosing acid-free options, your cherished pieces are safeguarded for years to come.
