| 1208612 | 2011-06-12 10:08:00 | Hello PC World, I graduated last September with a Certificate in Small Business Management. A quote for $130 :eek: was given to me for framing this certificate with non-fade glass. Where can I find framing materials including non-fade glass that I can put together myself to frame this certificate? Something like a DIY kit that includes non-fade glass or which can be combined with non-fade glass to form the framing for the certificate. Advice on this would be appreciated. Yours sincerely, Barry. |

A glazier might charge $130 too? And where would I find the right glass to protect the certificate from fading from UV rays? Nice one for the cert. Do you mean you're congratulating me on getting this certificate or do you mean I should get a nice frame for the cert? |

By "non-fade" glass I mean a glass that protects the certificate from fading. I am guessing the fading is caused by UV light rays? Your solution of copying the original and storing it in the dark may be the simplest and best solution? |

This is sold to reduce damage to furn. etc. I like the idea of copying and keeping original in a book or something. |
