White glass has extremely good display qualities and image brilliance. Thanks to its versatility, this glass is a highly recommended all-rounder – if UV protection or conservation are not the primary requirements.
Appearance:
White glass offers great colour reproduction. Its incomparable transparency – no colour distortion – really brings out the best in works of art.
Types:
White glass is available in brilliant (glass 5) or matt/brilliant (glass 6) versions. Anti-reflective glass has a fine matt finish and has far better contour sharpness and contrast than other matt glass types.
Composition:
3.0 millimetre thick white glass is crafted from chemically treated silica sand. Extracting the iron oxide prevents the glass displaying a green tint.
Note:
White glass is not suitable for conservational framing due to a low level of protection against UV rays.
Cleaning:
White glass is robust and can be cleaned easily with water or common glass cleaning agent.
