What is etching?"Etching" is the abrading or roughening of a selected area on a piece of glass, marble, granite, tile, or other substrate that produces a desired design on the surface. Two types of etching are acid etching and sandblast etching. For purposes of our application, as for glass etching, we will use the term "etching" to refer specifically to sandblast etching or abrasive etching. Back to TopHow is the etching produced?By directing a high pressure, high speed stream of sand or other abrasive at the surface of the object. As the grains of abrasive hit the selected area to be etched with enough force, an etched effect is produced. When the sandblasting is complete, the areas which were not protected will be etched and the protected areas will remain clear. Back to TopWhat is a custom etch?A custom etch starts with a design consultation about your ideas and the mood you are trying to create. A design is created, application is decided, and the project begins. Back to TopWhen an architectural element such as a door or a window is already installed, does it have to be removed in order for it to be etched?Any architectural element that is already installed does not have to be removed. We come out to the site with the equipment to do what is called an "on-site etch". Back to TopCopyright © 2001-2008- Letitbeetched.com - All rights reserved.
