FAQs

What is UV damage?

Well, think of it like this: sunlight hitting your printed media is like a slow-motion fade-out in a bad action movie. Over time, it can zap the colour vividness and leave your precious art with a not-so-charming yellow stain. But don’t worry, here at Cheevo we’ve got ways to protect your media from turning into a vintage sepia filter.

Oh, it's like the VIP of framing glass. This bad boy blocks 99% of UV rays, keeping your cherished artwork from fading faster than my patience at a traffic light. It’s crystal clear, anti-reflective, and makes your art look like it’s on display at the Louvre. Basically, it’s like wrapping your treasures in an invisibility cloak that also happens to be a UV-fighting superhero.

Well, imagine glass as the James Bond of framing materials: suave, durable, and always looking sharp. Glass offers crystal-clear clarity, doesn't scratch as easily as acrylic, and won’t warp over time. Plus, it feels more premium—like a martini, shaken not stirred. Acrylic, on the other hand, is like the budget-friendly sidekick: lightweight and versatile, but a bit more prone to scratches and scuffs. So, if you want your artwork to stay as flawless as Ryan Gosling’s jawline, go with glass.

Seriously, it’s so crystal clear you might start questioning if there’s even glass there at all. Imagine seeing your masterpiece in all its glory without any pesky reflections or distortions. Yep, it's that clear.

It's unmatched on clarity levels too!
