The cover is a key part of any photo frame. But to go for a glass cover or an acrylic cover is a question that people face when framing their favourite picture or artwork. The matter of fact is that each one of them has its own upsides and downsides. Traditionally people only used glass as the glazing material. For one thing, glass is durable and resists scratches to a great extent. One major downside is that it is breakable. Acrylic, on the other hand, is more affordable and unbreakable. Being a softer material than glass, acrylic is more likely to sustain scratches.
