    Glass etching is seen in both commercial and private industries. It may be text on the glass award or possibly a decoratively etched logo or crest. Similarly it can be seen as an etched company logo on a decanter for any company gift or perhaps a smartly etched wine glass on a wedding table.

    The style will be created by the sandblasting, laser engraving or acid-etching onto the glass awards. It has the effects of rendering the actual glass translucent by means of scattering of light during transmission, thus making the affected region whiter and gives a fostered look when compared to untreated areas.

    Sand blasting is actually the conventional technique of applying the look on the glass and requires blasting Aluminum Oxide onto the glass. The actual glass award must be well prepared before the glass etching can be began. The style needs to be made and also made as a mask to be used on the glass award, as soon as it has been completed the actual award can be put into a sealed sandblasting machine to be blasted with Aluminium Oxide using and air gun. The Aluminium Oxide hits the unmasked places upon the actual glass, taking out the shine and creating a frosted effect. This technique of Glass Etching could be put on difficult 'less flat' designs since the mask is actually put on by hand, additionally , it can be used on more descriptive styles due to the Aluminum Oxide fine grain and does not fracture the actual glass.

    Laser Engraving uses a high powered laser to be able to plot a layout on the glass; this technique can easily be a good efficient method for awards and it is the cleanest method to engrave without the chemicals. Laser engraving is actually mostly applied upon flat surfaces and also utilizes a Laser to heat up the actual glass region to 'fracture' the smoothness of the glass, leaving a frosted look. Laser engraving can be a less expensive technique of putting on design and style upon the glass since there is simply no waste materials, harmful substances or preparing necessary for the actual glass. The actual problem to Laser engraving is the final result can look fractured on smaller textual content and also complex designs.Laser engraving can offer one-off separately engraved glasses or even many glasses with the exact same message on all. Business logos can be engraved successfully or too much cost as every glass is laser etched independently name modifications can be simply included without expensive set up costs being incurred.
    Acid-etching was usually completed in 2 periods. Firstly the whole glass is etched to a matt finish. This is followed by a different sort of acid-etch to create back some areas to a clear finish. Acid-etched is no longer manufactured due to safety reason. Places like China do and then the actual completed product is exported. This process is now primarily used for large panels and is used within commercial structures as well as residential homes. The actual glass sections might be part of a privacy screen or even a decorative feature inside the specific setting.

    Often, depending on the quality of the actual glass and the effect wanting to be obtained, laser engraving and sandblasting are often the best choice with regard to glass awards. Essentially laser engraved glass pictures will be finer as well as on the surface area whereas sandblasted glass has more interesting depth.
