Reflection Control®

Glass can act like a mirror, causing glare and distracting viewers from the works of art on display.  Reflection Control® glass is chemically finished to scatter light as it strikes the glass.  This subtle, matte-like treatment protects artwork from unwanted glare or distortion. 




  • Finished on only one side to provide the best resolution and clarity without distortion while reducing glare
  • Provides glare-free enjoyment without UV protection
  • 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.
