FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Clear and Non-Reflective Perspex?

Clear Perspex has a glossy, glass-like finish and is great for vibrant displays. Non-Reflective Perspex has a matte coating that diffuses glare, making it ideal for bright rooms or spotlighted walls.

Is Perspex as clear as real glass?

Yes. Clear Perspex is virtually indistinguishable from glass while being much safer and lighter to handle.

Will it protect my prints from fading?

Yes. Clear Perspex blocks 90% of UV light, and Non-Reflective blocks 99%, helping preserve prints long-term.

When should I avoid using Non-Reflective Perspex?

If there is more than 3mm of space between the image and the glazing, non-reflective acrylic may appear hazy because of light diffusion.
