Sandblasted glass is a kind of etched glass. In sandblasting process, a glass surface etched by a sandblaster machine. Sandblasted Glass is also known as Frosted Glass.
Sandblasting is a general term used to describe the act of propelling very fine bits of substance at high velocity to etch a surface. Sand used to be the most commonly used substance.
Sandblasting uses compressed air to blast fine sand or other very abrasive,high grit substances through a nozzle and at the object desired to be sandblasted. These abrasive substances rapidly discard the surface of the object leaving a clean surface.
Types Of Glass Etching :
There is not only one type of etch glass like acid etch glass but also sandblasted etching glass.The first one is etched by chemical,called as acid etch glass. The other is etching by sandblaster.
Which is the better between Acid Etched Glass and Sandblasted Glass?
Both acid-etched and sandblasted glass use abrasives to produce a frosted or non glossy glass look. Acid treatment is used to create acid-etched glass. While sandblasting is done with a high speed machine that blitz the glass panel with sand,walnut pods or other substances.
