Etched Glass
We can etch glass by two methods : sandblasting or acid etching
Both methods produce similar effects however the main difference is that sandblasting can produce a multi layered effect by multiple blasting and carving deep into the glass, whilst acid etching can produce different white tones and textures. The technics are similar in that the glass is masked to protect the areas to be left uneffected and the mask is cut to the design required. The effect created is very elegant and is perfect for producing privacy with style.
Choose from hundreds of standard patterns or have our designers produce something unique just for you.
