As glass materials develop, the range of glass products continues to grow. Sandblasted U-shaped glass is a relatively new type that has attracted many customers. What is it, what types are available, and what precautions should be taken? Let’s take a closer look.

Sandblasted U-shaped glass is produced by spraying a high-pressure mixture of water and emery onto the glass surface. Customers value its distinctive appearance, straightforward installation, energy efficiency, good surface finish, and long service life.

Sandblasted U-shaped glass is available in three main types: fully sandblasted, striped and computer-designed patterned glass. The following section introduces these types.

(1) Fully sandblasted U-shaped glass has its entire surface treated with abrasive. It is often used in bathing-area partitions to provide privacy.

(2) striped U-shaped sandblasted glass: as its name implies, it is the image of stripes in the U-shaped sandblasted glass. It has the features of smooth and lustrous appearance, and is very popular with the owners.

(3) Computer-patterned sandblasted U-shaped glass: computer technology is used to create the sandblasted design, making the process convenient and the result visually attractive.

U-shaped sandblasted glass precautions

(1) Appropriate distance: when sandblasting U-shaped glass, keep the blasting gun at a suitable distance from the glass to avoid excessive force that could break it.

(2) Maintain a steady speed when moving the spray gun over the glass. Uneven movement can produce an uneven sandblasted finish and affect its appearance.

(3) Inspection: before sandblasting, check the nozzle and abrasive supply line for blockages. Clear any blockages promptly to ensure an even finish.

(4) Check the texture: after sandblasting, inspect the glass against the light to see whether the etched texture is uniform. Rework any uneven areas; no reworking is needed if the texture is uniform.

(5) Remove residual sand: once processing is complete, remove the masking paper and rinse away the remaining sand with clean water. Take care not to leave abrasive particles on the surface, where they could cause scratches. This concludes the introduction to sandblasted U-shaped glass, its types, and relevant precautions. Care during construction helps preserve its appearance.
