Tru Vue® Conservation and Museum Glass
Tru Vue supplies a complete range of high quality picture framing glass products to the industry. Tru Vue's Premium ClearTM glass was the first nationally distributed glazing product to be washed, polished and paper-packed, setting a standard of "ready-to-frame" glazing materials. In 1989, Tru Vue introduced Conservation Series® glass at a time when the industry was beginning to recognize the need for protecting and preserving the items which were being framed. This high-grade float glass is manufactured using a patented coating process which applies a UV blocking agent to the glass. This resilient coating effectively blocks 98% of the most damaging ultraviolet rays, those in the 300-380 nanometer range. When not blocked, these rays can fade and deteriorate all types of works of art on paper — from priceless originals to limited edition prints to photographs. Tru Vue also offers a line of anti-reflective glass: AR® Reflection-Free and Museum Glass® which also has the Conservation Series UV-blocking coating. These optically coated glass products are the state-of-the-art in picture framing technology.
Today, Tru Vue is the leading manufacturer of quality picture framing glazing products. As a strong advocate of conservation and professionalism within the picture framing industry, Tru Vue holds membership in several organizations which strive to promote these goals including the PPFA, the AAM (American Association of Museums), the AFC (Art & Framing Council), the AIC (American Institute for the Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works) and FACTS (The Guild for Fine Art Care and Treatment Standards).
Tru Vue has worked with these associations to improve product features and preserve standards which in turn forward the industry as a whole. Tru Vue also provides seminars and materials which help to educate framers and their customers on the benefits of conservation framing.
At Tru Vue, innovation has been one of the cornerstones of the company's success. This, in conjunction with exceptional customer service, is what made the company an industry leader. Tru Vue will continue to work with framers and designers to develop new ideas, creative options and quality products for the industry it helped to define.
