What is Matte glass?
Matte glass is a new option for our glass prints to add a low-glare finish!
Original glass is on the left, and Matte glass is on the right
To create our Matte glass, we apply an extra process that creates a superfine, light-diffusing texture on the surface of the glass itself. When holding the print, you likely won't feel the difference, but you'll be able to see the difference! The Matte glass finish greatly reduces the natural shine and reflectiveness of the Original glass.
You can take a closer look below at the difference in motion (The Matte glass is on the left, and our Original glass is on the right):
This Matte glass finish can be added to each of our Original glass print sizes for an additional cost.

When should I choose Matte Glass?
Matte Glass and Original Glass both look beautiful when displayed on your wall. One finish isn't better than the other—it really comes down to personal preference!
The glass finish you choose does not change the quality, clarity, or color of the print itself. Your image will still be printed with the exact same (UV-cured!) inks, and will look just as vivid on either type of glass.
If you find reflections or glare distracting in general, upgrading to the matte finish is a great option. Because of the light-diffusing surface, you may find it easier to look at the printed image when standing at a sharper angle from the print, or when light hits the print from an angle that would typically cause glare.
