Choosing the Right Glass for Your Frame

Choosing the right glazing is an important part of framing — it protects your artwork, enhances its appearance, and ensures it lasts for years to come. At WeFrame, we offer a range of high-quality glazing options to suit different needs, from everyday protection to museum-standard finishes.

TIPS:

To Glaze or Not to Glaze?

All prints, photographs and artwork on paper require glazing to protect them, however, the exception to this would be Heavy Acrylic and Oils on board or canvas.

Due to their robust nature and the textural aspect of these artworks, we highly recommend NOT using a glazing product.
