We're going to install some track lighting soon to brighten up this side of our family room. I'm going to remove the "glass" from these cheap frames. I like the gloss, but they provide no meaningful advantage in presentation.
Glare is already an issue, and the addition of lights on them will just exacerbate the problem. Call me the budget home decor guy. (And, yes, I realize the rightmost frame should be moved further away from the rest.) #FightTheRealEnemyGlare

@analogfusion they are gonna look really good without the glass. I have a friend that hates glare, and frames his photos like paintings. He just adds a UV photo protective spray and hangs them in the wall. I'm currently considering that idea to print a 17"x45" panorama. Framing at that size is so expensive, even for cheap options.

@analogfusion I use UV protectant acrylic glazing. I find it’s easy to work with and I don’t worry about breakage. Scratching can be an issue though.
