UV glass does not completely prevent the fading of photographs, but it provides significant protection that helps slow down the process. By incorporating a specialized coating, UV glass blocks approximately 97% of harmful ultraviolet radiation, which is a primary cause of photochemical damage such as dye fading and pigment breakdown. While this conservation-grade glazing is highly effective, it is important to note that other factors contribute to deterioration, including exposure to the full visible light spectrum, high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and airborne pollutants. Using UV glass is a critical step in preserving the color and integrity of your photographs, effectively extending their display life compared to standard glass, which offers minimal UV filtration.
