Glass etching is a centuries old method of imprinting images on glass. One way of performing etching is through sandblasting. Sandblasting allows for many controlled variations with the use of different sand coarseness and depth blasting that provide the finished product with a rich and textured appearance. Through using the etching technique of sandblasting, imagery and frosting can be carved into the surface of the glass. The high quality images etched into the glass are permanent and surpass in both longevity and appearance that of applied vinyl overlays.

Glass etching via sandblasting is a beautiful and elegant method of creating graphic designs on the surface of an otherwise smooth piece of glass. Etched and carved glass has been widely used throughout history, being found in upscale banks, hotels, residences, restaurants and theaters. The resulting etched surface can then be embellished even further with color to produce an even more impressive end result.
