The Challenge
To construct an in-frame vitrine for an important Italian painting going out on loan while providing an optimal viewing experience.
The Solution
Optium Museum Acrylic
Suitable for frame packages
Optium Museum Acrylic acts as a buffer to the external environment and limits the potential for change to occur by sealing the artifact within its own environment.
Shatter resistant
Safeguards against injury and damage to artwork and visitors. This product is ideal for valuable works, high traffic areas, works that travel, and public event spaces.
Lightweight
Acrylic is half the weight of glass; Ideal for large, heavy projects and works that travel.
Anti-static protection exceeds that of glass
Immediately eliminates static charge. Makes for safer, easier framing and less cleaning.
Abrasion resistant
A durable hard coat protects against scratches from cleaning and general exposure to the public.
Anti-reflective
Allows viewers to see the painting rather than distracting reflections.
99% UV blocking
Protects the painting from the most damaging light wavelengths, helping prevent fading and degradation.
