Glass Etching

How we sandblast our glass

Front doors, pantry doors, room dividers, glass signs, kitchen cabinets are all common applications we etch. Etching is the process of removing the top surface of a substrate by digging out or inscripting into it. The method we use to etch our glass is sandblasting.

On this page we will show you some of techniques we use & how we achieve the results. The final result can range from simple privacy glass to stunning artwork that will become a focal point in your home or office. 

Our etching techinques & processes

When we etch our glass, there are 2 main ways we do this. The most common method is with an automated sandblast machine. The second method is sandblasting by hand. Both have their advantages. When we run a piece of glass through our automated sandblast machine we can ensure a nearly perfect consistency throughout the piece. When a piece requires gradients or certain types of shading, sandblasting by hand is still the preferred method. 
Both are great ways to make regular glass more private as well as create some wonderful patterns to enhance the beauty of ones home. Not only do we have an impressive gallery of designs, we can work with you and create a custom piece that expresses your personal style & taste. 
Whether for doors, windows, dividers or many other possibilities, etching is an excellent way to accomplish this. 
There are three main different sandblasting techniques we will utilize as well. 

Single Stage Sandblasting

Multi Stage Sandblasting
