We recently came across this great article that compares true etched glass to a decorative window film option. Here is what it had to say.

Glass Transformation: Etched Glass vs Decorative Window FilmThe use of glass in new buildings and retrofit projects continues to increase, and its applications aren’t limited to exterior windows. Glass is being used inside as well, from glass-walled offices and cubicles to partitions and stairways. Using glass on both the interior and exterior allows natural light to flow throughout a building, encourages collaboration and productivity by eliminating visual barriers, and makes a space feel larger.

But plain glass can be a challenge when it comes to creating a unique design. Since glass is used in almost every building, how can you make it stand out?

There are two options to transform the look of glass:
1. Use chemicals to etch the glass surface
2. Apply decorative window film to the glass

As it turns out, decorative window film was preferable to actual etched glass films in these ways:

  • Price
  • Versatility
  • Design Options
  • Maintenance
  • Design Time
  • Installation
  • Sustainability
