Choosing the right glazing is one of the most important decisions when framing artwork. The frame may define the presentation, but the glass determines how the artwork is experienced every day.
At Versus Arts in Hackney, East London, we offer a carefully selected range of premium framing glass, including industry-leading Art Glass and Museum Glass, helping artists, collectors, photographers and interior designers display artwork with exceptional clarity while protecting it for years to come.
Whether you're framing an original painting, limited edition print, photograph or valuable document, we'll help you choose the glazing that best suits both your artwork and your environment.
Many people focus on the frame itself, yet glazing has an even greater impact on how artwork looks once it's hanging on the wall.
Premium framing glass can:
- Reduce distracting reflections
- Improve colour accuracy
- Protect against harmful UV light
- Preserve artwork for decades
- Increase viewing clarity
- Enhance the overall presentation
The difference is immediately noticeable, especially in brightly lit interiors, offices, galleries and rooms with large windows.
Art Glass is a premium anti-reflective glazing designed specifically for professional picture framing.
Unlike standard float glass, Art Glass features advanced optical coatings that dramatically reduce reflections while maintaining outstanding transparency.
The result is a viewing experience that feels almost as though there is no glass at all.
It is an excellent choice for:
- Original artworks
- Photography
- Limited edition prints
- Watercolours
- Drawings
- Certificates
- Textiles
- Collectables
