You have probably seen doors, windows and even mirrors with an etched design on it. Etching an image or design on glass has been done for decades. They have been used for decoration and even advertisement. Typically, to etch an image or design on glass you would need a stencil and an abrasive solution such as acid or fluoride mixture. This method is very messy and can be dangerous if you don’t have the proper safety equipment. Since the advancement of the sign industry, there are new vinyl materials that can replicate the etched glass look. Frosted silver vinyl applied on glass can give the appearance of etched glass, without damaging the glass itself. Any design or text can be cut out of this frosted vinyl and can be applied on any smooth surface.
