This design is created by cutting into the surface of the glass with a water jet. The precision tooling allows us to create deep, scored grooves but retain the structural integrity. By scoring on both sides of a laminated panel, a huge depth of design is created and it appears to move at the perspective it is viewed from changes.

Please note, laminated glass is available from 8mm. Please allow approximately 1-3mm additional panel thickness to allow for bonding agents.

Etched Glass

• Etched glass is created by making small abrasions in the surface of glass. These abrasions can be made by various tools such as a sandblasting machine or a hand held flex drive – creating a frosted effect on the glass surface.
• These frosted panels can use the positive space (the frosted areas) or the negative space (the gaps between frosted areas) for form intricate patterns and designs – detailed pictures can even be reproduced through etching on the surface of glass.
• Etching processes utilised by Daedalian Glass Studios include sandblasting (sandblasted glass), engraving with a drill (engraved glass), glue chipping (glue chipped glass), and water jet scoring.
• Etched glass is also knows as frosted glass.

Laminated Glass

• Laminated glass is produced through the use of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) as an interlayer. The process of laminating glass forms a safety glass – holding together even when shattered.
• This EVA solution can be mixed in a clear form to become invisible once set or a white adhesive can be used to create a `milky` finish, altering the translucency of the glass.
• Additionally, foreign objects such as fabrics, metal meshes, wood veneers, stone veneers, paper, and digitsal films, etc. can be placed between the glass to form a stong, functional, and decorative panel design.
