Understanding The Art of Glass Sandblasting

Architects and interior designers love glass! The capability of glass to elevate the charm of any structure is unmatched. Thanks to the versatility of glass, they are perfect for interior and outdoor settings. Whether as a facade, wall, door, or partition, glass thrives in every setting. Custom-etched glass, bearing intricate patterns, is widely used by architects and designers to add to the allure of their projects. Have you ever wondered how beautiful designs are etched onto glass so flawlessly? It is through a process called glass sandblasting. In this blog, we briefly discuss the art of glass sandblasting and why it is perfect for architects and designers.
 

Benefits of Glass Sandblasting For Architects and Designers

Architects and interior designers work closely with glass fabricators to source custom-etched glass. Glass fabricators in turn depend on the glass sandblasting technique to etch intricate patterns with ease. It is a technique in which special equipment is used to shoot sand, an abrasive material, at glass at high speed. 

The nozzle, through which the sand shoots out, is extremely small, further adding to the force at which sand is shot onto the glass. Glass sandblasting relies on compressed air to generate the necessary force. Combined with CNC technology, glass fabricators can make custom designs on glass with ease. The force at which the sand shoots out is just enough to create patterns but not damage the structural integrity of the glass.

Why is this special technique beneficial for architects and designers? With custom designs, architects and designers can add a touch of personalization to their projects. Glass customization opens up limitless design options for architects and designers. They can work closely with their clients and suggest designs perfect for their specific home or office setting.

Custom-etched glass also works perfectly for clients wishing for enhanced privacy in their property without blocking natural light. This makes it an ideal choice for areas such as conference rooms, offices, living rooms or bathrooms where privacy and aesthetics are important.
