Acid etched glass and ceramic frit glass
What is Acid etched glass ceramic frit glass? Acid etched glass is best described as glass with an opaque or only slightly translucent colored coating. Ceramic frit glass is painted glass, generally ceramic, fired on its rear face resulting in glass that cannot be seen through. Ceramic frit glass cannot be scratched. Basically it is the black dots that you see on the perimeter of your car windscreen
Privacy screens are the main application for acid etched glass, which is used to glaze sections of wall to conceal structural members, mechanical equipment, and other building components. It is most commonly used to glaze spandrel panels of high-rise curtain walls and as privacy screens for balcony partitions.
Clear glass Solutions have several options for toughened Obscure glass panels. Acid etched glass and ceramic frosted glass are both suitable alternatives for monolithic toughened glass applications. White inter layers for laminated glass is an excellent choice where safety glass is required.

Applications
Spandrel glass can be installed monolithically, using many of our stainless steel support options, and is often found as a component of an insulating glass unit. Reflective spandrel glass units are widely used when a uniform all-glass look is desired for the building exterior. Typical applications include commercial fixed windows, curtain walls, storefronts and wall cladding. Spandrel glass is traditionally an opaque material not intended for use in vision areas.
