Creating Artistic Glass for Your Interior

Modern methods of glass processing allow creating beautiful artistic surfaces

Types of matting

An example of such work can be the work of professionals from the company kzs.com.ua, capable of performing matting of varying complexity:

• solid – total processing of glass, becoming completely matte;
• simple – formation of geometric shapes on the surface;
• complex – artistic processing with the creation of patterns, ornaments and unique designs.

The procedure can be performed mechanically, through chemical exposure, or by applying a fired, paint or varnish coating. The most popular and widespread is the mechanical method, which successfully uses standard sandblasting together with engraving and grinding equipment. Regardless of the specific type of tools chosen, the work comes down to removing the surface layer by exposing it to abrasive substances.

Advantages of mechanical sandblasting

The objective advantages of sandblasting are as follows:

• different levels of continuous matting are available – achieved by adjusting the pressure in the device and changing the grain size of the sand;

• possibility of forming relief deep images on glass and mirror surfaces, characterized by different tints and whiteness;

• convenience when processing large areas.

Practical use of matted glass surfaces

Subsequently, matted glass can be used in furniture design and room decoration. It is allowed to insert patterned elements into interior doors, making the surrounding interior spectacular and memorable. Modern technologies make it possible to create furniture entirely made of glass that has been pre-sandblasted.

Dining, coffee, and computer tables made in an individual style will advantageously complement any interior design. Any drawings can be applied to the glass surface at the owners' request. Using templates, craftsmen can process at any depth, creating three-dimensional designs corresponding to any chosen theme.
