Etched Glass at Yorkshire Decorative Glass Limited

Acid etching is a highly specialised technique, no longer widely available, for creating a frosted pattern / obscured pattern on glass. Acid etching is time consuming and therefore more expensive but etched glass offers greater versatility than sand blasting. Acid etching creates a more refined pattern in the glass with a distinctive satin like appearance, a wider variety of finishes and increased degrees of transparency. As with sand blasted frosted glass / obscured glass, the effects of acid etching are permanent and etched glass will not be damaged by cleaning.

Commonly used to recreate traditional pub windows and for listed building decorative glass, acid etching is also regularly utilised by banks, building societies and high street names to create etched glass logos as part of the corporate identity.
