ORACAL 8510 Etched Glass Calendered Vinyl
Professional Decorative Glass Film for Privacy and Custom Window Graphics
What Is Etched Glass Vinyl?
Traditional etched glass is created by using harsh acids or sandblasting to cut a frosted design directly into the glass surface. This process is expensive, permanent, and time-consuming. ORACAL 8510 Etched Glass Calendered Vinyl provides the perfect alternative.
This premium decorative glass film emulates the luxurious look of real etched or sandblasted glass without the permanence or expense. It allows you to create intricate designs, privacy screens, and custom window graphics that can be updated or removed as your needs change.
