How to Change the Broken Glass on Your Art Frame: Options, Benefits, and Why We Recommend Bringing It In

  If you’ve found that the glass on your art frame is broken, don’t worry—we’re here to help!

   Replacing the glass in a frame can revive and protect your artwork, but to ensure the best results, it’s essential to choose the right type of glass.

   Here’s everything you need to know about our glass replacement process, options, and why bringing your piece to our shop is the best approach.

 Broken Glass in Your Frame? We Can Help! Naples Frame Up

We understand the convenience of calling to get a quick quote, but with glass replacement, size and type of glass are key factors that impact pricing. Each piece of artwork is unique, so we recommend bringing your framed artwork into our shop. This allows us to measure it accurately, assess any special framing requirements, and discuss glass options that best protect and display your art.

We work faster than most custom framing shops in Naples, especially when it comes to replacing broken glass for artwork.

We can also recommend updating the matting if it was done many years ago, as older mats often use acidic materials that can alter the original color. When replacing the glass, it’s an ideal time to review the mat and frame and consider a full refresh for your piece.

 Glass Options to Consider

We offer several types of glass for art frames, each designed to meet different needs and budgets:

  1.Premium Clear Glass
   This classic option provides a clear view of your artwork. It’s a regular, high-quality glass that enhances your piece     beautifully, though it does have some light reflection. This is a reliable and cost-effective option that suits many         types of art.

  2. Museum Glass
    A step up from standard glass, museum glass offers superior clarity with virtually no reflection, allowing your            artwork’s colors and details to shine without any glare. Plus, it provides 100% UV protection, which is essential for      preserving colors and preventing fading over time. Museum glass is an excellent choice for any artwork that you      want to protect and view without interference from reflections.

  3.Acrylic Museum Glass
  For larger and more valuable pieces—particularly those 30 by 40 inches or larger—we recommend acrylic       museum glass. This premium option is not only glare-free and UV-resistant, offering 100% protection from fading, but it’s also lightweight and shatterproof, making it ideal for larger frames. Its clarity and durability make it the ultimate choice for safeguarding valuable artwork.

 The Benefits of Choosing the Right Glass

Each glass type offers distinct benefits that go beyond just protection. Whether it’s ensuring a reflection-free view with museum glass or safeguarding your valuable, larger pieces with acrylic museum glass, choosing the right glass enhances the overall presentation and longevity of your art.
