Turn ordinary glass into something extraordinary…

Glass is beautiful, see-through, and easy to clean and maintain. It lets the light in, frames the outside, and helps keep noise at a minimum. Glass comes in a variety of colors and styles, like stained glass, etched glass, and frosted glass. Have you ever thought of enhancing your plain glass windows?

Probably, right? But depending on how big the surface is, it can be costly.

FROSTED AND ETCHED GLASS

The beauty and striking nature of frosted glass are remarkable. It can make a statement or transform a room in the right circumstances. The right choice depends on whether the benefits suit your application. You can’t go wrong with frosted glass for light flow and as an option for increased privacy.

Frosted glass is done with a chemical fluid treatment, sometimes referred to as glazing. It creates a frosted appearance on the glass. You can apply the frosting to the entire glass surface or in a specific pattern like designs or logos.

In technical terms, frosted glass is a transparent sheet turned opaque through sandblasting or acid etching. Because of light scattering during transmission, the glass comes out as translucent, obscuring visibility even as it transmits light, something referred to as frosted or etched.

Decorative etchings can be styled into the frosted glass to add a contemporary feel to your home or business. With frosted glazing, there is no need to compromise on appearance for privacy and security.

Etched glass is done with various techniques, from laser etching to sandblasting or acid etching. It can be used to imbue the glass with stunning shapes and images that reflect the light with a slightly spectral sheen, unlike frosted glass, which distorts the light to create a blurred effect.

The etched glass look is trendy for windows, doors, partitions, large conference rooms, and other glass surfaces. It’s beautiful and provides functional benefits. Glass is etched or frosted primarily to enhance privacy and add design, visual interest, or branding to glass surfaces.

Both popular techniques for etching/frosting glass require a skilled glass fabricator or glass artisan, which adds to the expense. The main downside of frosted glass is that it can be very pricey to replace if it gets damaged, cracked, or scratched. Additionally, frosted glass is expensive and requires regular maintenance to keep it looking its best.

Remember, once you have a design etched onto your glass, you cannot remove it. If you want to switch to clear glass or another design, you must replace the glass panel because etching or frosting cannot be removed from a glass surface. However, you don’t have to pay for expensive etched glass to achieve the same look because frosted film is a great alternative.

VINYL WINDOW DECALS

A frosted window decal is an image or graphic created from a sheet of translucent vinyl material with a “frosted” or “etched” appearance. These decals are designed to be transparent enough to let light through a window yet opaque sufficiently to offer privacy.

You can choose between a traditional frosted window decal or frosted lettering. When you use frosted window decals, we will print your design with UV ink onto frosted vinyl material. Frosted lettering involves cutting your design from a sheet of frosted vinyl material. Each design option displays your custom message or graphic in a unique way.

Custom frosted window decals provide an elegant, professional appearance at a low cost and will last up to five years with proper installation and care. Frosted vinyl window decals can be used indoors and outdoors. Companies often use these decals to display their logos, advertise their products and promotions, offer general business information such as hours of operations, and provide privacy for their boardrooms, offices, and retail storefronts.

A clear window decal is an image or graphic printed directly onto a transparent three-mil vinyl material sheet. These decals are transparent anywhere that does not contain your design, allowing you to display your logo or message on your window, glass door, or storefront without entirely obstructing your view. They are meant to be used on glass, but you can apply them to aluminum, stainless steel, plastics like acrylic, or any smooth surface. The most popular use for these decals is for displaying storefront hours of operation.

Another benefit of using frosted decals is creating an upscale, sophisticated look. So, it’s a perfect fit for a wide range of business owners. Adding a frosted glass feature to your business will leave a strong impression on your customers, from doctors to lawyers to retail stores, offices, and more.

Another essential feature of window vinyl is its ability to be easily removed without damaging surfaces, which is particularly important for leased spaces. Now you can have the look without the expense or the worry because custom frosted glass decals are easy to remove and will not damage underlying surfaces.

Custom frosted glass window film and decals help your business stand out while providing stylish and functional privacy. Maximize natural light with our films and decals that mimic the look of frosted and etched glass. Now you can have “the look” too.
