GLASS
Most artwork should be glazed in order to protect it from external damages and harmful pollutants. However, it is also important not to distort the viewing of the art itself.
At Lee Wah, we have a range of specialised glass / glazing available, ranging from clear/non-reflective glass and perspex, to specialist art glazing such as 99% UV filter coated Museum Glass and Anti-Static properties Museum acrylic.
