VARIGUARD SHOWCASES SPD-SMARTGLASS PICTURE FRAMING PRODUCTS AT WCAF AND LAUNCHES ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
Las Vegas, Nevada., Jan. 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Visitors at the West Coast Art and Framing Expo (WCAF) this week are experiencing the biggest evolutionary leap in conservation glass since UV filtering. VariGuard, a business unit of Research Frontiers Inc., is exhibiting its SPD-SmartGlass framing products at Omega Moulding’s booth #431.
Conservation glass only protects items against fading from UV exposure but offers no protection against light exposure. The inability of conservation glass to protect against light exposure limits its effectiveness against fading damage. The Canadian Conservation Institute states that “UV usually contributes less than half of the fading and often only one tenth…To reduce the fading…there is only one option: reduce light exposure.” VariGuard SmartGlass is the only product in the marketplace to effectively solve this problem.
Why expose items to damaging light when they are not being viewed?
VariGuard SmartGlass protects against damage from exposure to light to preserve the value of art, collectibles and cherished family items. At the touch of a button, VariGuard SmartGlass instantly switches between its transparent and its 99.5% light-blocking states. As a result, exposure to light is limited to when the item is actually being viewed, providing maximum protection. (VariGuard SmartGlass also provides more than 99.5% UV filtering at all times).
“Conceal and reveal” benefit of VariGuard SmartGlass
In addition to providing protection from damage due to exposure to light, VariGuard SmartGlass also offers the unique ability to conceal and then instantly reveal items in frames or display cases. This feature is valuable for presentations, exhibits, or dramatically showing off items in homes or buildings.
We invite you to view this video of VariGuard SmartGlass in action at WCAF.
