Many Picture Framers use acrylic instead of glass...

Acrylic is the choice of framers because it offers superior clarity, is light weight, easy to fabricate and more resistant to breakage than alternative materials. Acrylic is ideal when it comes to large pieces of artwork, commercial installations and projects that require protection from UV rays.

sheet offers museum-quality UV protection, but at a slightly
reduced level when compared with OP-3. Without sacrificing
clarity, impact, and quality, this reduced cost UV-filtering sheet
will still provide a high level of UV protection for most
applications. It is an ideal choice for those applications which
do not need maximum UV protection.
