Frosted Privacy glass
The look of etched glass, without the maintenance.
ADG's frosted privacy finishes use the Creative Resins coating system spray-applied to fully tempered glass, producing a uniform satin or fine sandblast-like surface without the porosity, fingerprinting, or maintenance issues associated with acid etching or traditional sandblasting. The finish diffuses light evenly, provides controlled privacy, and maintains a smooth, non-absorbent surface that is easy to clean and suitable for high-touch commercial environments. Because the coating is spray-applied, it supports precise opacity control and can be integrated with other ADG finishes, including Cellopane™, printed patterns and selective masking for gradient privacy. Panels can be fabricated for partitions, shower enclosures, doors, feature walls, and interior glazing systems where consistent appearance, durability, and cleanability are required. For projects requiring the visual language of etched or sandblasted glass with improved performance and design flexibility, ADG's frosted privacy system provides a reliable, architectural-grade solution.
