Conservation Reflection Control®

Conservation Reflection Control® with 99% UV Protection is chemically finished on one side, scattering light as it strikes the glass.  This matte-like finish enhances the beauty of the artwork by protecting the piece from unwanted glare or distortion.  Additionally, the UV protection helps protect fading, discoloration and embrittlement caused by harmful light rays.




  • Finished on only one side to provide the best resolution and clarity without distortion while reducing glare
  • Blocks 99% of harmful indoor and outdoor UV light rays
  • Can be used with up to two mats away from artwork without significant resolution loss

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.
