Newcastle Etched Glass

Etched Glass supplier to the areas of Newcastle

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. Etched glass has been used on many of Newcastle homes as well as local commercial buildings. The Victorian style design above was created using 10mm toughened safety glass.

Leadbitter Glass also provides Stained Glass, Bevelled Glass and Fused Glass to Newcastle homes.

How is it created?

Etched glass is a great decorative glass product that is very popular in the Newcastle 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 Newcastle 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 sections of the transfer that need to be etched are then removed. 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. The protected areas are now clear glass and the naked areas are now etched.

Your numbers up!!

Etched glass is an ideal form of decorative glass for text and numbers on door glass. Many homes in Newcastle have top lights above the door and these areas are ideal for a house name or number.

If your Newcastle home has a top light above the door, we can create a panel with your house number/name in etched glass. 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 Newcastle customers when an order is placed.
