What is weathered glass?

Weathered glass, also known as "patina glass", is a type of decorative glass that has a textured or etched surface that mimics the look of weathered or aged glass. It is often used in architectural applications such as windows, doors, and partitions, and can also be used in furniture and lighting fixtures.

Weathered glass is made by treating the surface of the glass with acid or other abrasive materials, which creates a matte or frosted appearance. The process may also involve sandblasting or grinding the surface to create a more textured effect. The end result is a glass that has a unique and natural-looking patina, with variations in texture and color that resemble the effects of weathering over time.

Weathered glass can be made with a variety of different glass types, including clear, colored, and textured glass. It can also be combined with other decorative elements such as metal accents or painted surfaces.

The use of weathered glass in architectural design has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it provides a contemporary twist on traditional glass surfaces. It can add visual interest to otherwise plain surfaces, and its textured appearance can help to diffuse light and create interesting shadows.
