Conservation Clear®

Tru Vue uses a proprietary coating process of microscopic, silica-based UV blocking agents that are cured onto the surface of a glass substrate to produce an ultra protective lite of glass that enhances true colors and protects art from fading. Over time, indoor and outdoor ultraviolet rays take a toll on artwork and cause fading. Paper can become faded, discolored, and brittle, causing irreversible damage that ruins the artwork. Conservation Clear framing glass with 99% UV protection helps protect art from fading by blocking harmful indoor and outdoor light rays, preserving art for years longer than regular glass.

Handling

Cotton gloves should be worn to minimize injury and fingerprints.
Avoid dragging the lites of glass against one another when removing from the box.
Do not slide the lite of glass into place. Lift it up to adjust reposition.

Cutting

Place a non-slip matboard (such as suede) between the glass and the back of the wall cutter to avoid scratching.
Place the lite glass in the wall unit with “coated side” toward the wall, facing the slip sheet or matboard. Score the uncoated side only.
Keep the glass cutter clean of glass chips by brushing away fragments frequently with a horse hair brush.

Cleaning

Place the glass on a clean, non-abrasive surface for cleaning.
Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. Tru Vue recommends using a micro-fiber cloth.
Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner onto the cloth. Spraying on the cloth will prevent streaking and overspray.
Press the cloth against the glass and clean in round, circular motions to reduce streaking or leaving spots.
