Etched glass is a type of glass that has a frosted or patterned surface created through a process called etching. This process typically involves using acid or sandblasting to remove a thin layer of glass, resulting in a design that can be simple or intricate. Etched glass is commonly used in windows, doors, and decorative items. The technique of etching allows for various designs, including geometric patterns, floral motifs, and even custom images. It is popular in both residential and commercial settings, as it provides privacy while still allowing light to pass through. Additionally, etched glass is often used in artistic installations and signage.
