Glass sandblasting

Glass Sandblasting Capabilities

Glass sandblasting (also known as frosting) is a mechanical process that involves frosting the glass surface using a high-pressure sand stream. Glass can be sandblasted entirely or partially, allowing the creation of various patterns on the surface: a transparent pattern on a frosted pane or, conversely, a frosted pattern on a clear pane.

At Dubiel Vitrum, glass sandblasting is performed using a numerically controlled automatic sandblasting machine or manually.

AUTOMATIC SANDBLASTING
Performed in a machine automatically, based on parameters set by the operator. This ensures precise and repeatable processing.
Parameter	Value/Description/Image/Remarks
Types of Sandblasting	Standard Matte Deep Matte: 0.3 mm (for a minimum glass thickness of 4 mm) 0.6 mm (for a minimum glass thickness of 6 mm) Semi-Matte (the higher the number, the weaker the sandblasting effect): Semi-Matte 1 Semi-Matte 2 Semi-Matte 3 Semi-Matte 4 Gradient (smooth transition from full matte to clear glass)
Types of Glass for Sandblasting	All non-tempered and tempered glass Etched glass – on the smooth and etched side Mirrors – on the smooth side and on the backing
