Yes, it can- but no, we won’t. We do use laminated SentryGlas® interlayers in shower door systems. But will not warrant laminated glass if the edges are exposed.

Since shower glass is subjected to water, heat and moisture intrusion, delamination is more likely to occur. Even though laminated SentryGlas® carries a warranty on exposed edges, the risk is too high honor it.

You can pick from 3 techniques to sandblast, or etch, designs into your shower glass. All 3 processes, explained below, are done on tempered glass to create infinite sandblasted graphics, logos, themes and more.

Surface Etching:
This technique is the first, most basic, and least expensive process. Surface etching is a single-stage sandblast option that produces a full opaque effect. As its name implies, only the surface is sandblasted. Since etching does not go deep into the glass, it yields a one-dimensional look.

Surface Etching & Shading:
This process is the second level of sandblasting. Surface etching and shading is a multi-stage sandblast effect. Each and every segment of the illustration is individually removed and sandblasted, one piece at a time. This is not a surface etch, but areas are shaded so the image delicately and gradually fades back out to clear glass.

Carving & Shading:
This technique is the third level of sandblasting. Carving and shading differs from etching and shading in that areas are sandblasted longer to generate three dimensional, sculpted effects. This process forms carved edges within the motif that appear whiter and brighter as they pick up and reflect surrounding light.

With carving and shading, the sandblasted rendering looks three dimensional, as if it’s floating within the glass. See what amazing sandblasted glass designs we can fabricate for your frameless shower system and bath.

Diamond Seal is a permanent coating that protects shower glass surfaces and makes maintenance easier. It’s great for shower and bath products for a couple reasons.

First, Diamond Seal coatings seal porous areas in the glass to prevent stains, soap residue and household cleaners from depositing. And secondly, they don’t require reapplication. Once this product is applied, it’s forever fused to shower glass surfaces.

Backed with a 10 year manufacture warranty, Diamond Seal coatings are not self-cleaning. However, they do keep shower glass looking new for many years, resist fingerprints and water beads. Learn more about this protective coating and why you should get it.

No, we do not automatically apply Diamond Seal coatings to shower glass purchases. You will need to specify it. If you’d like this protective coating added to your shower enclosure, steam unit, splash panel or shower partition, just indicate so on your quote.
