Research Frontiers' VariGuard business unit announced that Omega Moulding will distribute its patented light control SmartGlass products for frames and display cases in the United States and Canada.
VariGuard Display Case in the off (dark) and on (light) states.
Omega Moulding will showcase the benefits of VariGuard SmartGlass products at the 15th Annual West Coast Art and Frame Expo and National Conference being held from January 19-22, 2014 (Omega Moulding Booth #431).
VariGuard SmartGlass products protect artwork and historical documents by allowing light to reach these artifacts only when they are being viewed. At all other times, VariGuard display panels immediately return to their light-blocking dark state to protect these artifacts. This performance feature, unique in the industry, can reduce an artifact's light exposure by 85-95%. This enables museums, libraries and private collectors to:
- Provide the best protection against light damage for artifacts on display
- Enable the safe display of light-sensitive artifacts in well-lit environments
- Display artifacts that were previously considered too light-sensitive to exhibit
Seth Van Voorhees, President of VariGuard, commented "We are very pleased to have a distributor with the stellar reputation and capabilities of Omega Moulding represent our VariGuard SmartGlass products in the marketplace. The Omega Moulding relationship will greatly accelerate customer knowledge of the benefits and protection that VariGuard SmartGlass products offer."
