History claims that glass appeared more than 5 thousand years ago. Since
then, it has gone through many metamorphoses. People wanted to make it better:
more beautiful or safer. Many new ways of glass processing appeared,
which expanded the field of practical and artistic use of glass. Glass matting
is one of the important processing processes that makes glass a more adaptable
material.
Not surprisingly, today there are several different ways to create frosted
glass. Among them are mechanical and chemical. The second method is also
called etching. In this way, you can create sophisticated matt patterns of
different saturation. Glass is etched using hydrofluoric acid or other
chemicals. The fullness of the patterns depends on the time of exposure of the
acid to the glass surface.
A very beautiful image can be obtained by combining the etched glass
surface and color. Color frosted glass patterns look more voluminous than
regular color prints. Moreover, due to the matt finish, such patterns are more
durable. At the same time, they look more attractive than colorless etched
glass. The color palette for the creation of such products is practically
unlimited, which makes it possible to pick etched glass for every taste.
