Non-Glare Acrylic Frames for Gallery and Museum Framing Projects
NON-GLARE ACRYLIC FRAMES
for Photographs and Digital Prints
Clear non-glare acrylic is specifically formulated and finished to minimize glare and reflection created by light sources, both natural and artificial. The non-glare acrylic is an ideal framing choice for galleries, museums, art studios, and corporate environments.
UV PROTECTIVE ACRYLIC FRAMES
for Artwork and Photographs
Optical clear UV filtering acrylic is specifically formulated to reduce damaging ultraviolet light waves. The UV filtering acrylic is an ideal framing choice for displaying artwork, photos, prints, and archival documents that require protection from light exposure.
MAR RESISTANT ACRYLIC FRAMES
for Posters and Graphics
Mar/scratch resistant acrylic offers excellent optical clarity with abrasion and chemical resistant properties. The mar resistant acrylic is an ideal framing choice for displaying artwork, photographs, and posters that require protection from scratches and surface impact.
Nova Display Systems offers a comprehensive range of acrylic sandwich frames and frameless display panels, meticulously crafted to meet the exacting standards of museum-grade framing applications. Available in both standard and custom sizes, our acrylic frames and panels are precision laser-cut to ensure exceptional quality and feature impeccably polished edges. This precision craftsmanship allows for the fabrication of frames and panels in a diverse array of shapes and sizes, perfectly tailored to bring your unique design vision to life.
To further enhance the versatility of our products, we provide a selection of front and back cover options to meet your specific requirements. Our acrylic sandwich frames can be fabricated with clear, non-glare, mar-resistant, or UV-filtering front covers, offering both aesthetic and protective benefits. The supportive acrylic back panels are available in clear, frosted, color, textured, or satinice finishes, providing a seamless backdrop for your displays.
At Nova Display Systems, we prioritize the use of high-grade non-glare and UV-filtering acrylic products manufactured by industry-leading brands such as Acrylite®, Acrylex®, or Plexiglas®. Our commitment to quality is further underscored by the 30-year warranty against yellowing that accompanies these premium materials.

Non-Glare Acrylic (P99)
Clear non-glare acrylic is specifically formulated and finished to minimize glare and reflection created by light sources, both natural and artificial. These unique properties make the non-glare acrylic an excellent choice for framing art, posters, photographs, and prints. The matte finish diffuses the light and distorts the angle of reflection, offering unobstructed views from almost any angle, maximizing the viewing of the image. Another advantage of using a non-glare acrylic sheet for picture frames and similar applications is that it also resists fingerprints.
UV Filtering Acrylic (OP3)
Optical clear UV filtering acrylic is specifically formulated to reduce damaging ultraviolet light waves. Unprotected artwork and print media such as paper and fabric will fade, turn yellow, or become brittle, when exposed to sunlight and artificial light for long time. The OP-3 UV filtering acrylic sheets are light weight, impact and abrasion resistant, and will protect your artwork from 98% of harmful UV rays. They are specifically designed to meet the unique requirements for picture framing used in modern galleries, museums, and art studios.
Mar Resistant Acrylic (MR1)
Mar/scratch resistant acrylic offers excellent optical clarity with abrasion and chemical resistant properties. This acrylic has an abrasion resistant hard coat that protects the acrylic surface and extending the life of the acrylic frame. If your acrylic frames will be exposed to everyday public contact, daily cleanings, and airborne dirt and dust, then an abrasion or scratch resistant product like Acrylite® Gallery mar resistant acrylic is recommended.
