Acid-etched Glass

South Star offers a full portfolio of etched surfaces tailored to different design and performance needs:

• High-transparency etched glass— Provides soft diffusion with excellent light transmission, ideal for bright interiors where designers want privacy without sacrificing openness.
• Low-transparency etched glass— Delivers stronger opacity and visual shielding, suitable for partitions, meeting rooms, and areas requiring enhanced privacy.
• Anti-fingerprint etched glass— Uses advanced surface chemistry to resist smudging and oil marks, maintaining a clean appearance even in high-touch environments such as doors, handrails, and decorative panels.

Because of its versatility, South Star’s acid-etched glass is widely used in:

• Interior partitions and privacy glazing— Balances openness with discretion in offices, hotels, and residential spaces.
• Shower enclosures— Offers a refined, moisture-resistant surface that enhances privacy and reduces maintenance.
• Anti-slip glass floors and stair treads— When laminated or tempered, etched surfaces improve traction and safety.
• BIPV façades— Acts as a diffusing layer to control glare, conceal photovoltaic components, and create uniform exterior aesthetics.
• Doors, balustrades, and decorative elements— Adds a premium, contemporary texture to interior design.

What distinguishes South Star is its ability to combine highquality acidetched surfaces with a wide range of processing capabilities—including tempering, laminating, insulating, and curving. This allows architects and contractors to specify etched glass in complex geometries, large formats, and multifunctional assemblies without compromising performance or visual quality.
