Acrylic Pros:

Acrylic Glazing is more lightweight than glass, so it is a better choice for some of the following

• shipping of art
• Framing larger pieces
• Placement in children’s spaces and in earthquake zones
• Good thermal insulator - will not condense moisture as easily as glass so is more
  appropriate for high-humidity areas
• Not easily broken

 Acrylic Cons:

• Scratches easily - must be handled and cleaned carefully
• Fingerprints show readily
• Attracts and holds dust because of its inherent static electricity.
• Should not be used when framing dusty art media like chalk pastels
• Static can be reduced by using an antistatic plexi cleaner. (link to cleaner)

Glass Pros:

• Easy to clean
• generally is more economical

Glass Cons:

• Heavier – not appropriate for shipping artwork or for large pieces
• Breakable - can damage artwork or whatever it falls upon if it breaks

Please note that we do not sell glass.
