• Blocks up to 99% of UV light rays  
• Meets ISO 18902 and passes ISO 18916, by providing at least 97% UV protection  
• Does not degrade or delaminate over time.  Tru Vue uses a proprietary inorganic, silica-based UV blocking coating, which is "baked" into the glass substrate producing a permanently bonded coating.  
• 2.5mm glass substrate

 
• Ideal for any framing application, if reflection-free viewing is not important.  
• For protecting art, photographs and other important personal keepsakes against damage and fading caused by UV light.  
• To provide fade protection for posters. The inks, papers and other materials used to create these prints are more likely to deteriorate at a faster pace than higher quality reproductions.

Handling

 
• Glass should be handled with care.  To avoid injury cotton gloves should be worn.  
• 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 slip sheet or a non-slip matboard between the glass and the back of the wall cutter.  
• Do not score the UV coated side. The inkjet printing stating "this side faces artwork" indicates the UV coated side.  
• Place the lite of glass in the wall unit with UV coated side toward the wall, facing the slip sheet or matboard.  
• Keep the glass cutter clean of glass chips by brushing away fragments frequently with a horse hair brush.

Cleaning

All of Tru Vue glass products are clean and ready to use. If spot cleaning is needed use the following techniques:

 
• 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 overspray.  
• Press the cloth against the glass and clean in round, circular motions.
