Frosted Glass Options
Creating
a desired level of privacy in your decorative
glass is an
important decision when ordering art glass. Here we detail
Leadbitter Glass's different frosting options available
to you
Option A - Frost on Clear
This option can give the best results for frosted
decorative glass. Created with clear glass or Pilkiington
K glass (building regulations), different colours and frosted
films can be combined to create a beautiful finish. A secondary
clear piece of glass is added to create the double glazed
sealed unit and this allows the full design to be seen in
all its glory without any distortion
Option B - Design onto Minster
This finish also gives great results and is ideal
for recreating traditional and victorian stained glass designs.
The whole design is created with minster glass and the lead
can also be soldered to give
it that traditional finish. The sealed unit is created by
adding a clear glass or Pilkington K backing glass to comply
with current building regulations.
Option C - Frosted Backing Glass
The decorative
glass design is created onto the clear glass or Pilkington
K glass and the design is viewed from the inside by looking
through a frosted backing glass. This distorts the decorative
glass design and does not give the best result. From the
outside, the design will not look distorted because the
frosted backing glass is at the rear of the sealed unit
