Acid Etched Glass

Acid etching, also known as 'French Embossing' is a process invented in the Victorian era.  It gives a frosted, etched finish in delicate tones of white and diffused shades and is capable of producing very intricate patterns.

Luxurious

The process was originally used by the Victorians for decorating windows and doors in public houses and bars, where it gave a luxurious and expensive feel to sitting areas.  It also afforded privacy as it is not easy to see through acid etched glass.

Areas of glass can also be stippled.

Applications for acid etched glass

Acid etched glass panels can be used in similar applications to sand-blasted glass: ie. double glazed door and window panels, opaque door panels, kitchen cupboard doors, wardrobe door panels etc etc.

Advantages

Acid etching allows intricate designs with a variety of finishes and different degreees of transparency or opacity.
