enhanced to serve functionally. For privacy,
etched glass allows available light to pass, while
obscuring the view. Unlimited artistic expression
in boundless aesthetic pursuit, is achieved through
Absonite's disciplined control and processing.

relief sand carvings, that capture light in it's
sparkling iridescence, makes a classic statement of
style that speaks for itself with distinction and
taste.
It's taken for granted that glass is
to be seen through, not looked at. This is where
Absonite's trend reversal from ordinary glass use,
to fun and functional glass use becomes apparent.
Architectural art glass manufacturing is what we
do.
Absonite offers significant savings by
utilizing the experience gained from every previous
project. That wisdom is incorporated into every new
project.
Working on both wholesale and retail
levels, we'll work with you or your client to
develop a coherent design based on your tastes and
direction. Often we work directly with the end
client on a design level to ensure their
satisfaction, while billing is done through your
company as part of your custom service.
We make it easy to fulfill any
client's requests for unique architectural details.
Absonite Glassworks welcomes new clients who are
interested in etched and specialty glass for all
applications.

Etched Glass
Terminology
Etching - refers to abrading the glass
surface; changing the surface of glass with a
micro-abrasive; including frosting, carving or
shading glass.
Frosting - an even, solid etch, frosted white;
good for privacy.
Carving - a deep etch which gives a three
dimensional appearance by catching light in the
edges; bas relief.
Shading - an uneven frosting technique, usually
used to create an image of depth without carving; a
sophisticated alternative to frosting.
Resist - a special coating on glass that will
resist abrasion.
Multistaging - the layering of stages to create the
image of one element in front of another element;
e.g., some rose petals being over other petals to
give a three dimensional effect. This process is
used with carving or shading techniques.
Gluechipping - a surface process which resembles an
icy frost on the surface of the glass; used to
obscure the glass or as an artistic
alternative.
