What is acid-etched glass?

Matt, frosted, satin, translucent, opaque, acid-etched... glass is called by as many names as possible applications. They are generic definitions that define different processes, but only one offers the best performance and quality: the acid etching technique.

SEVASA's acid-etched satin-finished glass is the result of a transformation process, by which the surface of a flat glass (float or mirror) is treated with an aqueous solution of acid, obtaining a smooth satin texture with a translucent matte appearance, or a transparent etching.

With more than 35 years of experience, this process guarantees high functionality of its technical performance and higher qualityas well as its uniformity and durability, better finishesas the softness and silky touch and better performanceThe product is easy to clean and resistant to marks.

This quality of SEVASA glass is evident during the transformation processes: cutting, polishing, beveling,... and allows easy bending, laminating, and tempering, being especially appreciated by professional glassware and industry.

Increasingly used in architecture - exterior and interior -, decoration and furniture manufacturing, SEVASA's glasses offer a wide variety of formats, glass colors and technical performance for the construction of structures with an ethereal appearance, the creation of atmospheres and design.

It does not degrade or wear, does not peel or discolor, does not change over time and is resistant to most common cleaners and moisture, as it is not an additive, not a bonded or fused coating, nor is it a sandblasting (also called sandblasting), the old traditional method of rough finishing and delicate maintenance.

The certifications obtained by SEVASA, such as the ISO 14001 Environmental The high quality, homogeneity and sustainability of this high-capacity, high-performance production are also ensured.
