The glass might be 2mm which is .07 inches so our .1 acrylic might be just a little thicker. Make sure you carefully measure the glass and order acrylic that is exactly the same width and height.
Got it. I’ll make sure to measure the glass and not just go off the frame “description.” I don’t think the extra .03 inches should matter. Based on the backing there’s some “flex” there. Now, if it was like 1/8th of an inch or something, that might be different, but .03 should be okay.

Thanks for the help!

I ended up getting 4 sheets of 24x36” UV glass from Frame Destination. They arrived yesterday. I was able to swap them in for the glass in my frames no problem. Looks great! And now I’ve got the extra peace of mind that comes along with the UV protection too. :)

The Artglass AR coating modifies the light transmission properties of glass surfaces, virtually eliminating reflections and increasing light transmission.

Instead of replacing outright, have you tried a layer of UV protection? Spotlight Displays will sell you sheets.
