Frequently Asked Questions: Get Answers Before You Invest
How does your UV blocking glass compare to museum-grade solutions?
Our glass meets or exceeds ISO 18902:2013 museum display standards with 0.3% UV transmission (vs 1% for standard museum glass). The cerium oxide technology provides superior protection while maintaining 91% visible light transmission.

Our glass provides lifetime protection under normal display conditions. Independent tests show no color shift or yellowing after 25+ years of exposure. For comparison:
