SandBlasted Glass
Sandblasting provides a translucent finish that can be used in many applications. Fine sand is “blasted” onto the glass, which roughens the surface and provides a level of privacy when looking through the glass panel.
This is done using specialised machinery, achieving a ‘cloudy appearance’ that is pleasing to the eye and efficient for separating office areas.
Sandblasted Glass is a great way to hide unsightly steelworks and can also be used on walk-on floors to provide anti-slip properties. Tuffx can sandblast full panels, part panels, and borders.
Sandblasting is also particularly useful for providing a privacy finish on thicker glass panels where a satin finish cannot be produced, for example, in a 19mm single.
Common Applications
Due to the versatility of sand-blasted glass, this proves to be beneficial for a variety of applications, from offices to restaurants and shops.
- Privacy screens: As stated above, sandblasting glass is mainly used to add a layer of privacy to open-plan spaces. You’ll often find it used for cubicles, meeting rooms, and conference rooms.
- Branding and signage: Who needs actual signs anymore? With sand-blasted glass, you can have any logo or directional signage etched onto it, such as symbols for bathrooms and changing rooms. These are commonly seen in reception areas or on windows and doors.
- Decorative panels and feature walls: If you want to add a unique touch to a shop, restaurant, or hotel lobby, this type of glass can add a decorative element, complete with eye-catching patterns.
- Shower enclosures: From hotels to public gyms, sandblasted glass can be used for shower doors, adding a touch of privacy and sophistication.
Benefits of SandBlasted Glass
Apart from adding intrigue to an interior, this type of glass can be used to make an old building look more modern. You don’t have to redo a whole office space; the key is in the details!
When it comes to offices, natural lighting is necessary to create an open and airy atmosphere. By separating meeting rooms and cubicles with sandblasted glass instead of opaque doors, you can enjoy a light and vibrant office, allowing more light to pass through.
This can increase energy levels and reduce the need for artificial lighting, helping you save money in the long run. Designed to be long-lasting, this type of glass is low-maintenance, remaining in great condition with just a slight cleaning now and then.
