How Does Non-Glare Acrylic Sheet Work?

What Are Some of the Most Common Contexts for Installing Non-Glare Plexiglass?

Many clients from an art gallery and museum context opt for non-glare products in their locations and living spaces. This has been because non-glare products can diffuse light reflection on objects or areas that require intense visual fields. But the days are gone where only museums, art galleries and studios were the primary area of anti-glare plexiglass solutions. With its special matte finish, non-glare plexiglass is the optimal product if you’re looking to reduce glare and ultraviolet light in domestic spaces too.

If you’re interested in expanding the visibility of your at-home objects, art and treasured possessions, anti-glare acrylic, and acrylic sheeting is the first place to look for a solution that will minimize glare from all directions. People living in high-sun conditions will also find non-glare sheeting a great and easy way to reduce problematic sunlight.

How Does Non-Glare Plexiglass and Acrylic Sheeting Work?

If you’ve experienced reduced visibility or blurring when viewing objects or spaces in your domestic or commercial space, you could likely benefit from the application of quality anti-glare plexiglass or anti-glare acrylic solutions. But you might ask, how non-glare products exactly work?

To reduce the glare and light reflection on the acrylic surface, it is necessary to give it a matte finish which effectively diffuses excess light and softens it from most viewing angles. In the process of adding non-glare properties to plexiglass and acrylic sheeting, the manufacturing process also reduces the weight and increases the shatter resistance of the sheeting. This non-glare design ensures that it is 10x the strength of glass while effectively catching almost all glare and reflecting it out of your domestic or commercial space.

Why Use Non-Glare Plexiglass and Acrylic Sheeting?

Years ago, the primary use for non-glare products was to replace glass in museums and art galleries across the country. Because the weight of plexiglass and acrylic reduced the cost of sheeting products while maintaining the museum-level presentation of priceless objects, the choice of plexiglass and acrylic was an obvious one. Today, however, non-glare acrylic sheeting is preferred industry-wide as an effective, flexible and customizable product that outshines glass in most contexts.

Our Non-Glare Acrylic cover is a great option for someone who wants to hang their frame up in a hallway or area of their home where sunlight will shine through — and otherwise obscure the art. There are, however, some things you need to take into account before choosing this option and even after when you’re installing your non-glare acrylic.

Here is an in-depth guide to our non-glare acrylic cover for all the questions you may have before submitting your order!

The Price

The first thing to consider about the non-glare acrylic is, well, the cost. The price will differ depending on the size of the frame you are ordering. For example, an 8″ x 10″ frame in our Derby style will cost $22.53 with our clear acrylic and $25.98 with our non-glare. In this case, the price difference is less than $4.

The Translucent Coating

When choosing a cover for your frame, what finish you prefer is also a consideration. There are two main options that would be ideal for different types of art.

Our non-glare acrylic does what it’s advertised to do — diffuse glare from the sun or other light sources. In order to do that, there’s a translucent coating on the front of the acrylic. The other side, however, is glossy.

A few things to consider: the matted, translucent side must always be facing outward when you frame it. If you don’t do this, your non-glare acrylic will look no different than the clear acrylic, which has two glossy sides.

The second thing to consider is, of course, how this translucent coating will impact your art. If you hold the art far away from the acrylic when the translucent side is facing out, this will cause your art to appear foggy. Don’t worry though! Once you put the art in the frame, which will press the art up against the cover, that will solve this issue — although the colors will still appear somewhat softer in your frame, as advertised on the front page of our site. For this reason, we don’t suggest you choose the non-glare cover for any colorful art pieces you are looking to frame.

Another thing to consider is if you are choosing to add matting to your frame. While matting is a decorative lining that can certainly complement your art, it also serves effectively as a spacer between your art and the acrylic. This, of course, means distance that otherwise wouldn’t be there. Going back to what we were talking about prior, this could cause some unintended fogging of your art.

It’s for this reason that we don’t recommend the combination of matting and non-glare acrylic. Of course, you know our main rule, there are no rules at all! If you think that would be more appropriate, then by all means go for it! Whatever you think will look best for your space.

Its Main Purpose

Of course, the main purpose of our non-glare is to diffuse sunlight that hits it, which would make your artwork more viewable if it’s near a window. This acrylic cover will also protect against some UV light that can be harmful to your art.

Our non-glare acrylic has all of the clarity, impact resistance, and ultraviolet protection of our Clear Acrylic, but with a very fine matted coating that elegantly diffuses light and reduces reflections.

The Glaring Differences

In the end, our clear and non-glare covers are both great, but each serves different purposes. It all comes down to personal preference. So, which is better for your framing project? Consider where you will be hanging your frame, what style of picture you are hanging, the colors of your photo, and if you want to add matting or not.

For our non-glare acrylic, though, just remember a few things, and you’ll be on the path to framing success:

• The non-glare is more expensive than our clear acrylic but by very little.
• It has a translucent coating to diffuse the glare, and it’s best when art is pressed up against the acrylic as close as possible. This is why we don’t recommend matting for our non-glare acrylic.
• It’s great for black and white prints, or any art with muted colors.
