Bournemouth Etched Glass

Etched Glass supplier to the areas of Bournemouth

Etched glass or Sandblasted glass is one of the oldest forms of decorative glass on the market but it can also be used to create a truly modern and contemporary art glass feature and it has been used on many of Bournemouth’s grand buildings and commercial buildings. This door creation on the right has been created using a sandblasted design on clear toughened glass.

How is Etched Glass created?

Etched glass is a great decorative glass product that is very popular in the Bournemouth area and it is ideal for traditional door designs and contemporary commercial projects. This style of art glass gives an amazing effect without taking away any of the natural light. We have produced many etched glass designs that have been installed in the Bournemouth area and it is a very popular form of decorative glass.

A vinyl transfer is ‘cut to shape’ and overlayed onto one side of the glass, the glass is then inserted into a shot blasting booth and coarse grit/sand is fired at high speed over the design. Once an even finish is achieved, the vinyl transfer is removed, leaving the clear areas unmarked with the ‘blasted’ areas creating the etched design.

Your numbers up!!

Etched glass is an ideal form of decorative glass for text and numbers on door glass and door glass top lights. Many homes in Bournemouth have top lights above the door with an etched number and this is one of the most common requests that Leadbitter Glass receives. If your Bournemouth home has a top light above the door, we can create a panel with your house number/name in etched glass and we can even show you exactly what it will look like before we manufacture it by using our Client Pages service. This service is free to all Bournemouth customers when an order is placed

Etched Glass Yacht & Sea – Bournemouth

A client kindly sent us a photo of an etched glass panel we created for them many years ago. The link above shows the panel requested was a very basic pattern displaying a light-house, a yacht along with waves and birds. The client wanted a nautical feature but wanted to be able to still see through the glass. The design was created with a clear background and the detail being etched.

Etched Glass House Name – Bournemouth

A very popular request we receive at Leadbitter Glass is for house names or house numbers. A Bournemouth client recently ordered a house name for the panel above their front door. They selected our 424 design and this is one of the most popular styles for these types of requests. The title link above shows you the drawing we supplied to the client for approval. We do this for all orders so the client gets to see how the glass may look before manufacture starts.
