Custom Etched Glass vs. Frozen Glass: From Manufacturing to Quality Control


Both custom etched and frozen glass have their respective capabilities, but they have processes that ensure high-quality outputs. Learn more below.


Custom Etched Glass Manufacturing

The process of manufacturing custom etched glass begins with a solid piece of glass that has been scored with a diamond-tipped tool or laser. The scoring creates an outline that will be scratched out to create the design.

It is then frosted and acid-etched, either manually or by an automated computerized system that controls the etching's speed, pressure, and depth. The final step is to polish the etched area to remove any defects or scratches before manufacturers can use them in their final application.

Quality control for custom etched glass includes inspection for defects such as scratches, bubbles, surface imperfections, or other flaws in the thickness of the etchings.


Frozen Glass Manufacturing

The manufacturing and quality control of frozen glass is a process that is very similar to that of custom etched glass.

The process starts with the melting of raw materials such as sand, lime, and soda. These materials are then heated to extreme temperatures, which turns them into a liquid state. This liquid state material is then moulded into blocks or ingots.

Then, they get transported to a drawing tower for cooling and eventual cutting.

Quality control occurs at two stages: before and after cooling. With this, there are chances for defects to be detected before they reach the production line while giving time for appropriate action can be taken, or defects can be fixed during production.
