    Choosing the Right Picture Frame Glass

    Standard clear 2mm glass suits most framing applications. Non-reflective glass reduces distracting glare but has slight reduction in clarity — best used when glass sits directly on the mount. UV-protective glass blocks up to 99% of UV radiation — essential for valuable artworks, original photographs, and watercolours exposed to sunlight. Museum glass combines both non-reflective and UV-protective properties.

    Picture Frame Glass Measurement Guide

    Measure the inside of the frame rebate (width and height). Subtract 1.5–2mm from each dimension. For a 300mm x 400mm rebate, order 297mm x 397mm glass. Alternatively bring your old broken glass as a template, or bring the frame to our workshop and we’ll measure and cut on the spot in most cases.
