What are the advantages of low reflection picture frame glass over ordinary glass?

Low-reflection picture frame glass has several advantages over ordinary glass. The following is a detailed comparison:

Visible light transmittance: The visible light transmittance of low-reflection picture frame glass is higher than 99%, which means that only a very small amount of light is reflected by the surface of the glass, and more light can pass through the glass to enter the inside of the frame, which improves the brightness of LCD, PDP and other devices, and reduces energy consumption. While the visible light transmission rate of ordinary glass is generally around 90%, there is still more light being reflected.

Reflectivity: The reflectivity of low-reflective picture frame glass is less than 0.8%, which means that very little light is reflected from the surface of the glass, effectively reducing the lack of whitening of the picture due to the glare from behind. In contrast, ordinary glass has a higher reflectivity, which can affect the clarity of the picture.

Colour performance: As low reflection picture frame glass significantly reduces the reflection of the glass itself and increases the transmittance of the glass, the colours through the glass are more vibrant and realistic, the image colour contrast is stronger and the scene is clearer. Ordinary glass, on the other hand, has more reflections, which affects the saturation and clarity of colours.

Ultraviolet protection: Low-reflection picture frame glass has anti-ultraviolet performance, ultraviolet spectral region of the transmittance rate is greatly reduced, effectively blocking ultraviolet damage to the eyes. Ordinary glass is relatively weak in this regard.

High-temperature resistance: Low-reflective picture frame glass has better high-temperature resistance, and the temperature resistance of non-reflective glass is greater than 500 degrees. This makes it more stable in high-temperature environments, and not easy to deform or rupture. The high-temperature resistance of ordinary glass is relatively poor.

Abrasion resistance: the film hardness of low reflection picture frame glass is comparable to that of glass, which is greater than 6H, and has good abrasion resistance. This means that it can withstand a variety of cleaning agents, and will not cause damage to the film layer due to cleaning agent wiping. Ordinary glass may be slightly inferior in terms of wear resistance.

Impact resistance: low-reflective picture frame glass has good impact resistance, 3mm thickness of non-reflective glass impact performance is equivalent to 6mm acrylic. This means that it can withstand a certain degree of external impact, not easy to break. Whereas ordinary glass may be weaker in terms of impact resistance.

Viewing Angle Maintenance: Compared with ordinary glass, the viewing angle of low-reflective picture frame glass will not become smaller after installation, and it can maintain the original viewing angle, which brings a more comfortable visual experience to the viewer.

Flat appearance: The surface flatness of low-reflective picture frame glass is much better than coated acrylic, and the larger the size, the more obvious the difference. This makes it look more beautiful and noble in appearance.

Applicability: The hot and cold deformation of low-reflective picture frame glass can be almost omitted, and it is suitable for all kinds of environments. This means that whether it is in the cold north or the hot south, it can maintain stable performance and will not be deformed or broken due to temperature changes.

Safety: Low-reflective picture frame glass offers a high level of safety. Due to its smooth and delicate surface, dust is not easy to adhere to, even if there is some dust, it is easy to wipe clean with a cloth. At the same time, its high light transmittance allows the observer can see the objects or people behind the glass, avoiding the situation of obstructed vision.

To sum up, low-reflection picture frame glass has several advantages over ordinary glass, such as high light transmission, low reflectivity, vivid and true colour performance, UV resistance, high-temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, impact resistance, viewing angle retention, flat appearance, wide applicability and high safety. These advantages make low-reflection photo frame glass widely applied and used in the fields of artwork protection, photography protection and luxury gift box display.
