Many of us are familiar with using abrasive media for anti-corrosion efforts, or getting rid of rust on auto frames or other surfaces. You may have seen, for example, a mechanic using blast media to clean engine parts prior to re-assembly. But what about other major uses for this kind of industrial application?
Whatever environment it's pursued in, glass etching can be a valuable part of what blasting firms do for clients. It turns out attractive and durable custom pieces that support excellent building standards and long-term use.
Privacy and Decor
Many of the residential and commercial applications of blast media for glass etching are in order to create specific frosted glass patterns that allow for multiuse apertures in a home or business property.
For example, bath and shower enclosures are an excellent example of how frosted glass patterns provide a mixture of transparency and privacy for inhabitants.
These kinds of installations can also be popular in kitchens and other areas of a home or building. You can often see them showcased in building magazines or other media as prime value additions to an interior space. You may even see them features in exterior installations as well.
Customized Glass Etching
In addition, glass etching is extremely popular with small product manufacturers. Contained blasting for glass etching can produce such items as souvenir glasses, high-quality housewares and more, and can also accommodate branding for sellers who want to associate their names or logos with this type of impressive craftsmanship.
Combining Glass Etching with Stained Glass
Some of the higher-end glass etching processes combine the blasting process with other ornamental designs. We recently saw a very impressive glass etching project that took stained glass pieces, rectangular and even triangular, and augmented them with custom glass etching in linear patterns, as well as text, to illustrate what the designer was trying to do. It was a major illustration of how this process can provide aesthetic results for parties like our clients.
