Plastic vs Metal Glasses: Which is Better?

Are you also confused which eyeframe is best for you? Plastic or metal frame!

So don’t worry, you are at the right place at the right time. In this blog you will know all the information needed to select the best glasses for you.

A lot of factors need to be considered when comparing plastic frames to metal frames. Even though both frames can have similar colors and designs, you may want to look for frames with extra features like nickel-free materials, extra comfort, or extra durability.

When choosing between plastic and metal frames, here are some things to consider.

Plastic Eyeglasses Frames

The plastic frame is nickel-free, which makes it one of the most desirable features! Our Plastic eyeglasses collection contains similar designs like metal if you are sensitive to metal or allergic to it.

Many types of plastics are used in eyeglass frames, but the one of the best eyeglasses is acetate ones. Acetate eyeglass frames are very strong and hold the glasses very well even the thicker prescription glasses also. Along with that these frames are lightweight made from plastic materials like Ultem and TR90. The TR90 frames have all of the characteristics you are searching for, including durability, flexibility, comfort, and lightweight features. Ultem is also a very good option in plastic eye frames. These frames have many benefits that metal frames have without the metal. Ultem is fire retardant and high performance thermoplastic which is super light weight. Ultem frames have one third weight as compared to the traditional metal frames. These frames have excellent heat resistance upto 400 degrees. Their lightweight, flexible design, nose pads for extra comfort, and sleek, professional appearance make them an excellent replacement for metal glasses.

Many eyeglass wearers prefer plastic frames because of their affordability, which is one reason why they have become popular among those who like to have a collection on hand. Styles, colors, and patterns are available at a reasonable price thanks to the galorebay plastics frames' with sturdy, lightweight, and adjustable features.

Metal Eyeglass Frames

One of the most important features of eyeglass frames is durability. There is a chance that your eyewear frames will break or fall no matter how carefully you use them. Material made of titanium can be bent and twisted and then returned to its original shape very easily. In addition to being durable and reliable, these frames are also suitable for rough use. Metals such as titanium are much lighter and more preferred when manufacturing eyeglass frames than regular metals. There are many materials to choose from for metal frames, including gold, silver, aluminum, stainless steel, nickel, titanium, and alloys.

The lightweight comfort offered by alloy frames made of aluminum alloy, titanium, and stainless steel is one of their biggest advantages. Wearing metal glasses will prevent your glasses from putting unnecessary pressure on your ears or nose.

The adjustable nose pads of a metal frame are another great feature. Glasses that don't fit well on the nose bridge will constantly slide down your face. The solution to your problem is to tighten your nose pads. Nose pads add comfort to your nose by reducing the pressure on your nose bridge.

Plastic frames are very popular for a wide range of colors and shapes whereas metal frames are popular for their look and durability.
