About Etched Glass
Etched glass originated in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, where artisans used abrasive materials to create decorative frosted designs. Over time, techniques evolved, with acid etching gaining popularity in Europe during the 15th century and becoming a hallmark of decorative glassware and architectural design. Modern methods, like sandblasting introduced in the 20th century, allow for even more precise and intricate patterns without the need for harsh chemicals. Today, etched glass is widely used in windows and doors, appreciated by Huntsville homeowners for its visual appeal and privacy.

How do we etch glass?
When creating etched glass, we use the abrasive-blasting technique, commonly known as sandblasting, for several key reasons. This method ensures our etched glass has a consistent, high-quality finish that lasts. It also enables us to provide a wide range of intricate designs, including custom options, tailored to our clients’ preferences. Additionally, sandblasting ensures light transmits well through the glass, offering an advantage over traditional acid etching. Most importantly, it avoids the health and safety risks associated with using hazardous acids, making it a safer and more environmentally responsible choice.
Our Process
We start by designing and cutting a custom mask, which is then applied to the area of the glass panel that will become the etched surface. This mask covers the sections we want to keep clear. Next, the glass is placed in a sandblasting chamber, where a pressurized abrasive material is fired at high speed across the panel to etch the exposed areas. Once the surface is fully etched, we remove the mask, revealing the clear, unetched sections of the design. For single-glazed glass, we then apply a protective sandblast coating to make marks like fingerprints easier to clean. In double-glazed panels, this coating isn’t necessary, as the etched side is protected within the double-glazed unit.

What to avoid when buying etched glass
Some companies say they sell etched glass when in reality, they just apply “etched effect” vinyl stickers, so no etching has actually taken place. Some companies will tell you they offer “screen printed etched glass”, this uses ink to mimic the effect of etched glass but again, no etching has taken place. Both vinyl stickers and screen printed glass can discolor over time in sunlight, vinyl stickers can also shrink.
We want the glass we create for our customers to be of the highest quality and to last which is why we etch our glass through sandblasting. This allows us to achieve a high level of detail, create bespoke designs for our clients and provide them the confidence that the etched finish will last.
House Names and Numbers

If you’ve ever wondered what to do with the transom window above your front door, a house name or number panel could be the perfect addition. For those who don’t have transom windows, the door glass itself or a side panel are also great places to display your house name or number. If you require a custom panel like this, contact us for a quote.
Once you’ve placed your order, we then create a digital proof to show you how the finished panel would look in your glass sizes. If required, we can make amendments to the proof until you’re happy with the design. Only then do we begin production.
