Got about 20 pics I need to frame. Up until now, I have been using regular glass. I'd like to try anti glare or anti-reflective glass and see what the big deal is aqll about.

Anyone ever use it? How much would it run for 8x10" pane of anti-glare or anti-reflective glass? Is the difference 'WOW' level, or negligible.

Can I get it at home depot (cut to order?) or only at dedicated fraqme shops?

Thanks

    I order the non-glare plexiglass from americanframe.com; here is the plexiglass page. http://www.americanframe.com/catalog/plexiglass.html . I do like how images look under the non-glare :D

    You might try calling your local glass company (for home and businesses). I looked into non-glare a while ago and found that they would gladly cut whatever sizes I needed. I don't remember the price but I think it wasn't too bad. I ended up buying frames with the glass already installed so I didn't follow though with the non-glare.

    Don't know about the glass. I do know home depot doesn't cut plastics though.
    Just though you'd like to know.
