I have looked around & theres not many ready made frames with UV glass,so best bet is professional job. UV glass is exspensive but worth it for piece of mind. Try ringing a few local places,specify what you want & see what prices you get. With UV glass most places have to buy a certain size or amount,so there are times when a place may have left overs from another job & give you a better price. As example original cost for two litho with UV glass to be framed $400,because they had leftover UV glass quote came down to $190.Admittingly the lithos i have already have a backing board but this wont cost much to have done right wen getting framed right. Biggest cost as always is simply decent UV glass

Just use a UV filter screen over your actual windows - I have a museum grade and is significantly cheaper than UV protection glass + it also protects all my games from sunlight and fading.
