Etched
Glass supplier to the areas of Southampton
Etched glass or
Sandblasted glass is one of the oldest forms
of
decorative glass on the market but it can also be used
to create a truly modern and contemporary art glass feature
and it has been used on many of Southamptons grand buildings
and commercial buildings. This design on the
left has been created with
etched
glass
and the addition of 11 Fused
glass
tiles.
How is Etched Glass created?
Etched glass is a great decorative glass product that is
very popular in the Southampton area and it is ideal for traditional
door designs and contemporary commercial
projects. This style of art glass gives an amazing effect
without taking away any of the natural light. We have
produced many etched glass designs that have been installed
in the Southampton area and it is a very popular form of decorative
glass. A vinyl transfer is 'cut
to shape'
and
overlayed
onto one side
of the glass,
the glass is then inserted into a shot blasting booth
and
coarse grit/sand is fired at high speed over the design.
Once an even finish is achieved, the vinyl transfer is
removed,
leaving the clear areas unmarked with the 'blasted' areas
creating the etched design.
Your
numbers up!!
Etched glass is an ideal form of decorative glass for text
and numbers on door glass and door glass top lights. Many
homes in Southampton have top lights above the door with an
etched number and this is one of the most common requests
that Leadbitter Glass receives.
If your
Southampton home
has a top light above the door, we can create a panel with
your house number/name in etched glass or etched glass
film and we can even show you exactly what it will look
like before we manufacture it by using our Client
Pages service.
This service is free to all Southampton customers when an order
is placed
