Cast Glass | Etched Glass | Shower Glass | Water Features | Special Glass | Glass Art Cast Glass Cast glass is created in industrial glass kilns at high temperatures that allow the glass to form over molds. Final textures can be 3-dimensional and incorporate relief of various textures and designs. Designs can be chosen from our extensive library of house textures, or our artisans can create a truly one-of-a-kind design from your materials or concepts. All our glass can be bent and tempered to accommodate radius applications. The glass is ideal for high traffic areas, as grease and fingerprints are not visible on the nonporous surface. Low maintenance is another advantage with cast glass as general glass cleaner is all that is needed to keep the glass clean and brilliant. Cast Glass Portfolio | Technical Back To Top
Etched Glass Etched glass is best described as an abrasive treatment of a glass surface to create opacity and texture. Glass carving is an art form when an artist uses the etching process to carve artwork into the glass panel. Different etching processes allow us to create shading and shadowing effects as well as capture minute detail in the piece. Lighting options can be added to enhance the etching. The carving process can also be used to create various cut edges on glass panels. Barked edgework is our most popular carved edge. GRT Glass Design also applies sandblasting techniques to cut openings, notches and holes into any thickness of glass. Etching can be done on annealed, tempered, laminated and cast glass. Cast glass can be etched before or after the kilned process. Etched Glass Portfolio | Technical Back To Top
