Default How UV resistant are lithographs, giclee

Hey guys, im looking to frame a lot of my art prints.
Im already looking around some framers, but there are a lot of options.

However, i also have some cheapish giclee (from the eastore, tombraiderstore etc), so i dont want to spend to much on framing them.

Now, most frames coming with either normal glass or some kind of plastic, which are both not uv resistant.

My question is, is there any danger of fading because those giclee are printed on archival inks etc?

cheers,

ps: i also see alot of these cheap giclee framed without a mat (seems dangerous to me). I will use acid free mat on all my pieces (since the cost only around 20-30 euro and its looks nicer).
