Lens covers take the place of, and give the same look as glass or acrylic when framing.

Framers Brand� Enhanced UV filtering protective Lens Covers (Glazing) are available in both UV Clear and UV Non-Glare (Matte) finishes. The covers are of Optical Grade, Lightweight, Virtually Unbreakable, have UV Protection and do not require special cleaners.

Heavy Breakable Glass and Acrylic do not even compare to this new innovative product.

The product can be cleaned with ordinary plastic cleaner, and light scratches can often be removed by carefully using a hair dryer.) Our UV Clear covers are just that...Clear.

Our UV Non-Glare Lens Covers help to dramatically reduce the amount of reflection, sunlight, or overhead lighting that can be seen when looking at your frame. Additional advantages are that Non-Glare is also less likely to show any dust or scratches.

A typical disadvantage to Non-Glare, is that the depth of color and image quality is reduced by an estimated 5%. Consideration to where the frame will be placed should be given, when weighing out the benefits or drawbacks of upgrading to a Non-Glare Lens Cover when ordering.

Additional less expensive Glazing such as Clear Acrylic and both Clear and Non-Glare Styrene are also available in stock to bulk commercial customers. (email inquiries only)
