Glass Etching

Here at A Moment in Time we offer both types of sandblasted etching options for our glass pieces.  Below they are defined as well as some customization options.  Pricing is dependent upon the size of the glass and the details associated with the etch.

STANDARD FRONTAL ETCH – The front side of the glass is taped off and a pattern or image is etched into the surface.  This creates a frosted pattern or image that is textured to the touch.

REVERSE ETCH – The glass is flipped over and your pattern or image is etched on the back.  This is beneficial if there is concern that rubbing may occur that could cause wear on a frontal etch.  Also the glass is smooth and thus it is easier to clean the surface.

COLORING – Any of our etches can be colored.  However the coloring on a standard frontal etch tends to fade, peel, and/or flake off over time while the coloring on a reverse etch is much more protected.  Regarding color choice it is often helpful to include any information or pictures of the theme so we can best match your color.  In others words, if we are matching the color of your granite counter top on your bar please send a photo.

PATTERNS – We have a library of patterns available including many Victorian patterns.  Another option is to send in your own photo.
