Etched Glass
We’ve supplied homes in Tennessee with bespoke etched glass since we were first established in 1994. We create all of our glass to order so we can create glass to suit your home perfectly.
What designs do we offer?
We have an extensive range of designs in our etched glass gallery to choose from. We produce everything from etched house names and number panels, to stunning Victorian etched designs. A popular choice from our Tennessee clients is our iconic Shadows of Nature collection. This series of designs aims to capture the essence of our natural world in etched glass. We also have a series of designs inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. These are just a few highlights from our extensive etched glass gallery, so if you’ve yet to find the perfect design to compliment your Tennessee home, we’re sure to have what you’re looking for.
If you’ve found a design you like elsewhere, we may be able to create a custom etched panel based on your own imagery. To save yourself time, before looking for artwork to send us, read our guide to help you understand what types of imagery are suitable for etching as we have minimum quality and format requirements.

Proofing process
Once you’ve placed your order, we will produce a proof showing how the design(s) you’ve chosen will look in your custom glass sizes. This is to ensure you’re happy with the design you’ve chosen and give you the opportunity to make alterations if necessary. We usually get this proof to you within 5 working days of placing your order.
After you’ve reviewed your proof, if something doesn’t look right, let us know and we’ll re-draft it as many times as necessary until it’s perfect. You may require amendments such as resizing some elements or changing a font. Only when you’re 100% happy with the proof and give us the green light, we will begin production on your glass.
On the majority of orders, when we supply glass to Tennessee (and indeed across the USA) we offer free shipping. If you want glass with a bit of color, we can also supply fused glass to Tennessee.

About Etched Glass
The etching of glass can be traced back to the 15th century, making it one of the oldest forms of decorative glass. The way glass is etched has evolved over the years to enable more detailed designs and creative freedom. Today, glass is often etched through sandblasting, this is where an abrasive substance is fired at high pressure across the panel.
About Etched Glass
The etching of glass can be traced back to the 15th century, making it one of the oldest forms of decorative glass. The way glass is etched has evolved over the years to enable more detailed designs and creative freedom. Today, glass is often etched through sandblasting, this is where an abrasive substance is fired at high pressure across the panel.
How do we etch glass?
We use the abrasive-blasting method, also known as sandblasting to create our etched glass. We opt for this method for a variety of reasons:
- It ensures our etched glass finish is consistent, permanent and of the highest quality.
- It enables us to offer a wide variety of highly detailed designs and even completely bespoke designs to our clients.
- It allows more light to transmit through to the home than alternatives like acid etched glass.
- It avoids the health and safety issues associated with using hazardous acid to etch glass.
Our Process
To begin, we create a custom mask which contains the design you’ve picked. This is then placed on the face of your toughened glass. Elements of the mask are removed so the areas we don’t want to be sandblasted are protected. The glass is ran through a sandblasting chamber as a pressurized sand-like substance is fired across it’s face. Once all of the panel has been sandblasted, the mask can be removed which reveals the clear elements of the design. For single glazed glass, we apply a protective coating to enable easier cleaning of finger smudges etc. Double glazed units don’t need this protective coating as the etched side is protected inside the sealed unit.

What to avoid when buying etched glass
Some companies say they sell “etched glass” but in reality, they’re just putting stickers on the surface of glass to give it an “etched-effect”. In sunlight, these stickers can turn yellow and even shrink over the years resulting in a very poor finish. Keep in mind if a company claims to offer “etched glass effect” panels through screen-printing, these may also experience discoloration over time.
We create our etched glass the right way by sandblasting panels to ensure a high-quality, permanent finish. It’s important to always ensure you are purchasing a genuine sandblasted, quality etched glass product to avoid disappointment. You can see an example of the discoloration issue imitation etched glass suffers from here.
House Names and Numbers
In Tennessee, our clients often order etched glass house names and numbers for their transom windows, and it’s not hard to see why. It makes for an elegant addition to any entryway and can become the standout feature of the face of a property. Our glass artists produce hundreds of these panels every year for customers globally.
Transom windows (the glass panel above a door) are often found in Tennessee homes and are the ideal location to display your home’s name or number in etched glass. Browse our house names and numbers gallery to find the perfect design for your home. If required, we can create matching door or side panels which have the same border etc.
To make sure the glass you receive is exactly as you envisaged, we will send you a proof of your panel(s) showing your chosen font and border (if any) for approval before production begins.
