Elevate Aesthetics and Privacy:
Joy's etched glass panels redefine spaces, from windowed entries that offer a glimpse of artistry to division between living and dining areas. The applications are diverse, including shower doors, hot tub enclosures, bathroom windows, and kitchen cabinets, seamlessly blending beauty and functionality.
The Process - Crafting Timeless Art:
The journey begins with selecting a pattern and deciding on glass type—tempered, laminated, or plate. Each piece is a masterpiece, created through a meticulous process involving full-scale pattern reproduction, hand-cut stencils, and sandblasting techniques that vary from solid frosted designs to intricate shading for added texture.
Bringing Your Vision to Life:
Glass Selection: Joy accommodates various glass types, with tempered being the preferred choice for its strength.
Cost and Time: Pricing depends on design complexity, and the completion time, post-design finalization, ranges from 2-4 weeks.
Choosing a Design: The possibilities are limitless. Clients can select existing designs, collaborate on unique ideas, or draw inspiration from various themes.
Sandblasting Existing Glass: While possible, it's not standard due to messiness. Replacement or installation of an insert is preferred.
Direction of Etching: Typically, the etched side is on the less-trafficked side for practicality and aesthetics.
Light Transmission: Etched glass ensures a delicate diffusion of light, akin to the difference between frosted and clear light bulbs.
