Acid‑etched glass brings a blend of privacy, elegance, and artistic detail to any door or window. Through a specialised etching process, the glass surface is transformed into a smooth, velvety finish that diffuses light beautifully while providing the perfect canvas for intricate designs and decorative features.
Creating Soft, Frosted Designs with Precision
Acid etching is a traditional decorative glass technique that uses a controlled chemical process to create a smooth, frosted finish on the surface of the glass. The glass is carefully coated with a protective resist, and the chosen design—whether a simple pattern or detailed artwork—is cut into that coating. When the acid is applied, it reacts only with the exposed areas, gently dissolving the top layer of glass to produce a permanent, satin‑like texture.
The result is a beautifully diffused surface that enhances privacy while allowing natural light to pass through. Acid‑etched designs are crisp, consistent, and ideal for both subtle and highly detailed decorative work.
