What is Etched Frosted Tempered Glass?
Etched frosted tempered glass, also known as acid-etched tempered glass, is a type of safety glass with a permanently frosted, satin-smooth surface created through chemical etching. The etched surface diffuses light evenly, providing high-level privacy, soft light transmission, and a refined matte appearance.
MIGO GLASS supplies premium etched frosted tempered glass widely used in modern interior design, architectural partitions, shower enclosures, and commercial privacy spaces. That is a good choice when people want some privacy. Frosted glass panels could separate your home from the neighbors. There are different levels of opacity from mildly cloudy to totally opaque. This will depend on your own consideration.

FAQs about frosted tempered glass
1. Is acid-etched frosted glass the same as sandblasted glass?
No. Acid-etched frosted glass has a smoother, more uniform, and more durable satin finish. Sandblasted glass is rougher and more prone to fingerprints and scratches. Acid-etched glass offers superior consistency and long-term performance, making it preferred for modern architecture.
2. What type of frosted glass should I choose?
Normally the sandblasted is cheapest, silk screen printed is most expensive, acid etched is best in surface texture. Decision will be made according to your budget, order quantity and so on.
3. How much privacy does etched frosted glass provide?
Etched frosted tempered glass provides medium-to-high privacy while still allowing natural light to pass through. It prevents clear visibility of objects and silhouettes, making it suitable for offices, bedrooms, meeting rooms, and public spaces.
4. Can etched frosted tempered glass be used in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms?
Yes. It is moisture-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and easy to clean, making it ideal for bathrooms, shower doors, spa rooms, and hotel interiors. Optional anti-fingerprint etched finish further enhances performance in wet environments.
5. Does frosted tempered glass show fingerprints?
Standard frosted glass is more fingerprint-resistant than sandblasted glass. For high-touch applications, MIGO GLASS offers an upgraded anti-fingerprint etching finish for superior cleanliness and easy maintenance.
