Pantry Doors with Glass: Etched & Carved Effects
Sans Soucie Art Glass creates a wide variety of custom designs for pantry doors with glass. The glass is etched through sandblasting, and can be a simple solid frost, or one of our multi-stage sandblast techniques: surface etched dimensional or 3D sculpture carved. See the photos below, and watch the video demonstrating the three effects, each with a solid frost background to obscure the view into the pantry.
Solid frost is the least expensive option, because the execution is much more simple. The glass is sandblast etched evenly across the entire surface, leaving the design elements in clear pinstripes approx. 1/8″ to 1/4″ thick, depending on the design.
2D Enhanced is the mid-price range and 3D Enhanced is the highest. Both of these techniques take considerable time to and very high level of skill to execute. (Several hours verses several minutes to sandblast the decorative element). Each element within the design is sandblasted one small segment at a time, each being “shaded” .. which means the sandblasting fades back out to clear glass and features gradient shading. For the 3D sculpture carved effect, not only is the design sandblasted one small segment at a time, but the artist sandblasts them longer, carving deep into the glass creating a relief texture. All of the edges within each small segment, will catch the light and illuminate, creating a beautiful sculpted effect in the glass.
