Etched Glass Wall Art by Iconography Studios. We are proud to have produced and installed these privacy wall graphics for SolarCity in Fremont, CA.
These wall graphics are made from etched vinyl material and cut into a graphic pattern before they are installed. When the frosted vinyl is applied to the glass walls it creates a stunning visual effect that also doubles as a privacy feature for the office located behind the glass wall.
Vinyl film in etched or frosted textures is a great way to blend aesthetics with function in any office environment. The vinyl comes in large rolls up to 48″ wide by hundreds of yards long. This frosted film is also available from trusted manufacturers Avery and 3M in a multitude of shades and textures. At Iconography studios we can incorporate almost any design including logos, text and graphic shapes into a visual display that will provide the privacy you need with the look you want.
Get Creative with Etched Vinyl
There are many creative ideas for etched vinyl installations that can be applied to windows, glass doors, mirrors, and partitions to add privacy, elegance, branding, and unique decorative elements. Here are some of our favorite creative concepts for any setting:
Layered effects
Create a design with varying degrees of opacity or multiple layers of vinyl. For example, use a frosted vinyl for a background, then apply a semi-translucent colored vinyl on top to create a unique depth and shadow effect.
Textured illusions
Mimic the appearance of other textures, such as wood grain, lace, or woven fabric, by designing intricate patterns that are cut and installed as etched vinyl.
Thematic storytelling
Use a series of windows or a single large glass wall to tell a story or display a mural. For example, a restaurant could feature a timeline of its history or a graphic representation of its core ingredients.
Backlit frames
Combine etched vinyl with LED lighting for a modern, dramatic effect. Place the vinyl inside a lighted frame or against a window with specific backlighting to enhance the etched pattern and create a light-up art piece.
Interactive or kinetic designs
For a dynamic installation, use multiple panels to create a pattern that shifts as the viewer moves past it. The design can create a “moiré” or animated effect as the etched lines and shapes overlap.
Corporate and office settings
Branded privacy barriers
Instead of a simple frosted panel, use etched vinyl to incorporate a company’s logo, slogan, or corporate motto in a sophisticated, low-key manner. This provides privacy for conference rooms and offices while reinforcing brand identity.
Donor recognition walls
For non-profits and institutions, an etched glass wall can serve as a classy way to recognize donors. Names and dates can be added or updated easily over time by replacing individual vinyl sections.
Architectural wayfinding
Use etched vinyl to create sophisticated wayfinding signage on glass doors and partitions. Designs could include arrows, symbols, or room numbers that appear to be part of the architecture itself.
Glass-panel door upgrades
For a modern farmhouse or industrial look, replace solid panels in sliding barn doors with etched vinyl glass.
Home and residential installations
Framed wall art
For a smaller project, apply an intricate etched vinyl design to a clear glass panel and then place it in a picture frame. This turns the vinyl into a removable piece of decorative wall art.
Window borders
Create a subtle and minimalist look by applying etched vinyl only as a border on windows or glass doors. This adds a touch of privacy and style without obstructing the view.
Artistic shower doors
Personalize a glass shower door with an artistic, semi-private etched vinyl design. Nature-inspired motifs, geometric patterns, or a custom graphic can transform a bathroom.
Decorative cabinet fronts
Give a new look to kitchen or built-in cabinets with glass fronts by adding an etched vinyl pattern. This can hide cabinet contents while adding a unique design element.
