Glass Reflection
Glass reflection refers to the ability to reduce or eliminate unwanted glare from light bouncing off framed artwork, photographs, or documents. It's a critical skill in custom framing where professionals help customers choose the right type of glass to protect their artwork while ensuring the best possible viewing experience. When job descriptions mention glass reflection, they're typically referring to knowledge of different glass types (like museum glass, non-glare glass, or UV-protective glass) and the ability to explain these options to customers.
