Description

Acid Etched glass is regular clear glass that has acid applied to one surface which creates a frosted look as well as turning the glass into a privacy glass by allowing the light to pass through but blocks the image.

Acid Etched glass can be used as single glazed or in an Insulglass® Insulated Glass Unit (IGU).

If used single glazed then the etched surface is on the internal surface and exposed to the inside of the building where it can be touched by hand and cleaning products. Please ensure special care is taken when cleaning these glass types to ensure the coating is protected and not damaged once cleaned.

The Exterior surface of the Acid Etched glass is regular clear glass and so can be cleaned like regular clear glass. See our AGG General Cleaning & Handling Guidelines on our website for further detail.

If used in an IGU then the etched surface will be protected within the air gap of the IGU and not exposed. The information below relates to single glazed Acid Etched glass products with the etching exposed to the inside of the building.
