PureVue^® 

diffuse reflection glass

PureVue solves an old problem. Frame a picture, print or photograph without glass, and it is unprotected. Use ordinary glass in the frame and you get protection, but all kinds of reflections superimpose themselves on the picture and destroy its clarity.

PureVue diffuse reflection glass provides the solution by subduing tendencies to reflection without any perceptible sacrifice of transparency. This special use of glass was developed to break up reflection without obscuring the picture. It is now widely adopted by art galleries and picture framers worldwide. PureVue diffuse reflection glass is ideal for photographs, prints, watercolours and other flat subjects. Glazing should be no more than 20 mm from the picture.
