Geoff - 

Denglas (at least regular Denglass) is not any more protective than regular clear glass. I believe that since the joined with Sandel, they may be coming out with something similar to Tru-Vue's Museum Glass. Tru-Vue's Conservation Reflection Control glass is a reasonable substitute if the object to be framed is not very far from the glass, as blur increases with the distance. It's quite a bit less expensive as well and protects equally well. Good luck.
