Not sure the category to post in, if this the wrong one I apologize.
My question is I have some large 16x20 linen embossed prints mounted on backing board. Because of their size and the available space to display, I elected to construct some narrow edge frames, and not use a mat. I'm now at the point where I need to decide if I use glass, acrylic or nothing at all. I have some lightweight acrylic on hand that I tried, but it's really reflective and doesn't look good. Glass is going to get extremely heavy, and I'm not thrilled with the idea of glass in the area where these will be displayed. The other concern is that with out the use of mats, the print will be in direct contact with the glazing. So the question is, does it really matter if don't use glazing??? This will be in a home setting without exposure to UV from large windows.
