I've chosen the prints I want framed, but am stuck, of all things, on the cover. The choice is either glass or perspex. In the past, I’ve always chosen the sharpness of glass, but does anyone have experience of using other alternatives. The pictures are by Klimt, so I want to see their richness and brilliance. The room is not in direct light. Thank you.

How big are the prints? I have perspex on one print because it is very big and glass would make it heavy. I was always worried about what would happen if someone knocked it off the wall. The perspex is quite old now (about 20 years) and still looks quite clear, possibly because it's not hung in direct sunlight. Having said that, I have noticed a couple of scratches in the corner, as the perspex is softer than glass. No idea how they got there though.

I've always had all my artwork done in non-reflective glass. Clean, sharp but no shadows/glare or bouncing reflections.

It depends on the size of the prints. I prefer glass unless the print is very large. All mine are under glass except three which are 102cm x 102cm and they are under cast acrylic.

I prefer non-reflective glass. Please show us the finished item.
