Unique Glass Finishes

Frosted/Satin Glass

Frosted glass is a type of glass that has been treated to create a translucent surface, diffusing light and obscuring visibility while still allowing light to pass through. This effect is achieved through various methods, including sandblasting, acid etching, or applying a frosted film or coating to the glass surface.

The frosted appearance of the glass is created by roughening its surface, which scatters light as it passes through, resulting in a soft, diffused glow. This makes frosted glass an excellent choice for applications where privacy is desired, such as in bathrooms, offices, or partition walls, as it obscures the view while still allowing natural light to illuminate the space.

In addition to its privacy benefits, frosted glass also offers aesthetic appeal, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any environment. It can be used in various architectural and design applications, including doors, windows, shower enclosures, and decorative elements.

Frosted glass is available in a range of thicknesses and can be customised to suit different design preferences and functional requirements. Whether used for its practical benefits or its decorative appeal, frosted glass is a versatile and stylish choice for enhancing the beauty and functionality of any space.

Matte Finished Glass

Matte finish glass is a specialised type of glass that undergoes a surface treatment process to create a non-reflective, smooth, and velvety appearance. This treatment involves either acid etching or sandblasting the glass surface to produce a fine, uniform texture that diffuses light, reducing glare and reflection.

The result is a soft, muted sheen that adds a subtle elegance and sophistication to any space. Matte finish glass is particularly popular for applications where light control and privacy are important, such as in offices, bathrooms, and partition walls.

In addition to its practical benefits, matte finish glass also offers aesthetic appeal, providing a modern and contemporary look that complements a variety of design styles. It can be used in a wide range of architectural and interior design applications, including doors, windows, shower enclosures, and decorative panels.

With its understated beauty and versatile functionality, matte finish glass is a stylish choice for enhancing the visual appeal and ambience of any environment. Whether used as a standalone feature or in combination with other materials, matte finish glass adds a touch of sophistication and refinement to both residential and commercial spaces.

Scratch-Resistant

"Scratch-resistant glass" refers to glass that has been specially treated or engineered to resist scratches and abrasions, maintaining its clarity and smoothness over time. This type of glass typically features a protective coating or surface hardening process that enhances its durability and resilience against scratches caused by everyday wear and tear.

Although no glass is entirely scratch-proof, scratch-resistant glass offers significantly enhanced resistance to scratches compared to standard glass. It is commonly used in various applications where maintaining a pristine appearance is essential, such as commercial tabletops and bars or wall panelling in high-traffic areas.

The scratch-resistant properties of this glass make it highly desirable for environments where frequent contact or exposure to abrasive materials is expected. By reducing the risk of surface damage, scratch-resistant glass helps to prolong the lifespan and visual appeal of glass products, providing peace of mind to users and maintaining a high-quality appearance over time.

Designs using Sandblasting Techniques

Sandblasted designs in glass involve using a high-pressure stream of abrasive materials, such as sand or aluminium oxide, to create intricate patterns, textures, or images on the surface of the glass. This process selectively removes layers of glass to produce a frosted or matte effect, contrasting with the transparent areas of the glass.

The result is a visually striking design that offers both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. Sandblasted glass can be used to create privacy screens, decorative panels, signage, or custom artwork in various architectural and interior design applications.

The versatility of sandblasted glass allows for a wide range of design possibilities, from simple geometric patterns to intricate motifs or bespoke designs tailored to specific preferences. Additionally, sandblasted glass can be combined with other techniques, such as etching or staining, to achieve unique effects and enhance the overall visual impact.

Overall, sandblasted designs in glass offer a creative and versatile solution for adding texture, depth, and character to architectural spaces, while also providing practical benefits such as privacy and light diffusion.

Anti-Slip Glass

Anti-slip glass is a specially treated type of glass that is engineered to provide enhanced traction and grip, reducing the risk of slipping and falling, particularly in wet or high-traffic areas. This type of glass features a textured or roughened surface that improves its slip resistance, even when wet.

The anti-slip properties of this glass are achieved through various methods, including etching, sandblasting, or applying a special coating to the surface. These treatments create a surface that offers greater friction and grip, helping to prevent accidents and injuries in environments such as bathrooms, showers, pool areas, and staircases.

Despite its textured surface, anti-slip glass remains transparent, allowing light to pass through and maintaining visibility. This makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where safety is a concern without compromising on aesthetics.

Overall, anti-slip glass provides a practical and stylish solution for improving safety in areas prone to moisture or foot traffic, offering peace of mind to users while maintaining a sleek and contemporary appearance.
