Acid-etching is a specialized glass fabrication process involving the application of hydrofluoric acid to annealed glass sheets or sections to give its surface a frosted look. It can also be used to create specialty designs, such as horizontal and vertical lines, and graphics. Because this process involves various chemical compounds, it's therefore best to consult an experienced fabricator boasting valued partnerships with acid-etched glass manufacturers.
Whether adding pristine branding and pops of color for retail and hospitality guest experiences or within an office, back-painting elevates an average glass piece to the next level, and beyond.
Beauty and simplicity aside, back-painting is functional and easy to maintain. Its durability and strength make it useful for applications within high-traffic areas, including glass railings, hotel lobby walls, partitions and dividers, shower enclosures, and more.

Laminated glass is a popular element of commercial interior glass projects, and well regarded for its strength, durability, versatility, and optimal functionality across various industries for myriad purposes. These include retail, personal care, corporate offices and conference rooms to fitness centers, restaurants, hotel rooms, and common areas.
Due to its sandwiched interlayers essentially holding together the two outer glass pieces, laminated glass is used for applications requiring extraordinary safety measures. Should breakage occur, it will result in weblike cracks but keep the glass intact.
More and more organizations and industries recognizing the need for quiet, separate spaces with enhanced acoustics and aesthetics are utilizing reeded glass to improve collaboration and productivity.
Designed for privacy, this textured glass style is often implemented in healthcare facilities, corporate offices, and other workplaces where confidentiality is paramount.
Choosing the best display and communication tool for your office, academic institution, healthcare facility, or other collaborative setting is paramount for success and customer satisfaction.
Commercial interior glass is suited for various applications, settings, and solutions due to its versatility, flexibility, and convenience. When utilized to highlight spaces marked by sleek aesthetics, it can transform any project’s creativity, design, and display features.
The worldwide raw materials shortage continues to plague several critical industries including lumber, metal, glass, and even sand. While this affects float manufacturers, and also fabricators such as Dillmeier Glass Company, it begins early in the manufacturing process: Sand is one of the primary ingredients used to create and manufacture glass.
According to a United Nations report “Sand and Sustainability: Finding new solutions for environmental governance of global sand resources,” current sand usage is exceeding the rate at which it’s being produced. Caused by several circumstances, the current building boom is the chief contributor.
As retail enters a new era following novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic closures and restrictions, the industry is also reinventing itself with new design trends and layouts to promote in-store engagement.
According to the “Store Design & Experience Benchmark Survey” produced by online retail industry publication Retail Touch Points, 71 percent of retailers note design, store planning, and visual components of retail are “somewhat more, or much more important compared to two years ago.”
Designed to foster intra-office communication while still maintaining privacy and design aesthetics, frameless glass walls promote natural light and control sound, among other benefits. They’re also customizable to fit your company’s specific needs.
