Picture Frame Glass and Museum Glass

When framing pictures, photographs and artworks, or exhibiting them in museum display cases, reflections on the glass make the work harder to see. BYC Group's anti-reflective (AR) and anti-glare (AG) coated glass reduces reflections so the work is seen clearly, vividly and in its true colours; the viewer sees the work, not the glass.

Light transmittance (depends on glass thickness and type) 97%Surface reflection (AR) less than 2%

Normal uncoated glass reflects about 4% from each surface, which creates a mirror effect in front of the framed work. BYC-AR anti-reflective coating reduces surface reflection to below 2% on each surface; depending on glass thickness and type, 97% light transmittance can be achieved.

Which coating?

Anti-reflective (AR) coating

  • Reduces reflection and increases light transmittance
  • Colours and details of the work look sharper

Anti-glare (AG) coating

  • Reduces glare from outside light sources
  • UV protection can be added
  • Coating up to 1300 × 2500 mm

Museum and display case glass

In museum and exhibition display cases, the goal is for visitors to see the exhibit without noticing the glass. BYC-AR coating almost completely eliminates unwanted secondary reflections (ghost image) and improves contrast, so the exhibit looks clearer and more vivid instead of disappearing behind reflections of light and surroundings.

Our coated glass can be cut, processed, tempered and laminated. It can be produced in different glass types such as float glass and low-iron glass, and in different thicknesses.
