Does glass come with my frame?
We offer acrylic glass which you may sometimes see referred to as glazing. We have several types: A premium clear, a premium clear with reflection control (non-glare) as well as two of these versions that also have UV blockers. Acrylic glass and can be ordered with your frame or ala carte.
FinerWorks currently does not offer actual glass as the glazing since glass has a high rate of breaking during shipping.

What is glazing?
Glazing is the term we use to refer to having your work behind glass. The purpose of the glazing is to provide protection to your prints. It is not necessary in all instances of a framed print as is the case with a framed canvas, but for prints on fine art papers it is recommended since it protects against scuffing and direct contact. FinerWorks currently does not offer actual glass as the glazing but instead provides a safer and common framer’s alternative in the form of clear acrylic (plexiglass). Acrylic provides an advantage to glass by being lighter and less likely to break during shipping.
