Today, traditional glass picture frames are commonly made of acrylic sheet owing to its light weight and high impact strength. At half the weight of glass and ten times the impact strength, acrylic sheet is particularly ideal for large or oversized pieces of art. It provides increased protection against breakage and removes the risk of damage to the framed art or photograph as well as shielding people around it from potentially dangerous breakage. In addition, acrylic sheet can protect against UV damage.
