MIROGARD^® - anti-reflective glass for picture framing

Why MIROGARD®? MIROGARD® -The Product Family

There is only one MIROGARD® – the original made by SCHOTT!

Ciurlionis Museum, Lithuania MIROGARD® stands for completely transparent special glass with an anti-reflective coating on both surfaces. Thanks to its unique quality, SCHOTT MIROGARD® has gained a reputation all over the world for guaranteeing the highest possible viewing enjoyment with art. This high-grade special glass is manufactured using the Sol-Gel process in the world’s most advanced dip-coating plant. It is absolutely color-neutral and free from irritating reflections. In other words: when viewed under normal circumstances, SCHOTT MIROGARD® glass is as good as invisible. It’s no wonder that the world’s leading museums and galleries place their confidence in the proven quality that SCHOTT MIROGARD® offers.

Virtually no reflections Conventional glass reflects about 8% of light. This results in an undesirable mirror effect. With SCHOTT’s optical interference coated anti-reflective glass, reflections are reduced to approx. 1%. In other words, they disappear almost completely.

Maximum transparency Normal glass allows for light transmission of only 91%. With SCHOTT MIROGARD®, this figure increases to 99%. In other words, MIROGARD®, MIROGARD®plus and MIROGARD Protect® are nearly invisible under normal viewing circumstances. The result: the brilliance of colors in works of art is reproduced without any losses in quality. UV radiation protection All types of SCHOTT MIROGARD® glass reduce UV radiation by absorption and/or reflection. Depending on the level of protection required, different versions of these products are available.
