Reflection Control Glass FAQs
How does anti-reflective glass and acrylic reduce reflection?
The thin film coatings on Tru Vue anti-reflective glass and acrylic disrupt the energy contained in light waves causing them to flow out of sync. This disrupted wave pattern virtually eliminates all reflection from the acrylic surface.
What is non-glare glass and non-glare acrylic?
Non-glare picture framing glass is finished to diffuse reflected light. Non-glare acrylic is embossed to diffuse reflected light. Both processes also give the glass and acrylic surfaces a matte finish.
