Sandblasted Glass vs Frosted Glass: Which One Do You Need?

sandblasted glass

 

Frosted glass has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its remarkable ability to provide privacy in an array of settings. This versatile type of glass is perfectly suitable for use in shower doors, windows in bathrooms and offices, and various other applications. One of the most significant advantages of frosted glass is its ability to be customized through the addition of patterns or company logos, allowing it to fit perfectly with individual preferences and styles.

When complete privacy is essential, sandblasted glass can be an effective solution. The sandblasting process involves shooting tiny bits of material at the glass, giving it a sandblasted finish that makes it non-transparent. Typically, it is used for windows and doors in stores where privacy is of the utmost importance.

The finish quality depends heavily on who does the blasting. Depth, edge cleanliness, and how evenly the surface reads under light all come down to the masking and the number of blasting passes. At Ultimate Glass Etching, we carve customer-supplied glass in our Las Vegas studio, and we review every piece under close lighting before it leaves.
