UV-Filtering Acrylic Sheet
This 22 by 30 inch acrylic sheet filters 98 percent of ultraviolet rays to protect artwork and photographs from fading. The 1/8 inch thick panel is shatter-resistant and lighter than glass, making it safer to handle and hang. Rounded edges provide a finished feel and reduce the risk of cuts during installation.
For Display and Preservation
Photographers, artists, and collectors who need archival-grade glazing for valuable prints or documents will benefit from the high UV protection and optical clarity. Buyers who require a different sheet size, a thicker panel for structural rigidity, or a non-glare surface treatment should look at alternative products.
98 Percent UV Blocking
The defining specification is the 98 percent ultraviolet filtration rate, which directly determines how well the sheet preserves image vibrancy over time. This level of protection makes the material suitable for conservation framing where standard glass or untreated acrylic would allow damaging radiation to reach the artwork.
