What is Sandblasting?
Sandblasting is a mechanical process that mimics the natural wear seen on small pieces of polished glass found on beaches. This artistic technique transforms glass, creating unique and personalized works of art.
Technique and Process
Using a high-pressure sand jet, the glass surface is etched, rendering it opaque and creating sophisticated bas-relief effects. The precision of this process allows for extraordinary results, suitable for various styles and designs.
Types of Decorations
Sandblasting allows for a wide range of decorative options, including:
- Classic Designs: Victorian and Liberty styles for an elegant touch.
- Geometric Patterns: Clean lines and modern shapes for a contemporary look.
- Landscapes and Figurative Art: Detailed artistic representations that enhance any environment.
Applications of Sandblasting
Today, sandblasting can be performed not just on clear glass, but also on frosted, coated, and safety glass (tempered and shatterproof). Sandblasted glass is particularly sought after for doors and windows, adding a stylish touch and privacy.
