Satin toughened glass is a type of safety glass that features a smooth, frosted finish on one or both surfaces, providing a sleek, matte appearance while maintaining privacy and allowing light to pass through. The satin effect is typically achieved through acid etching or sandblasting, giving the glass a soft, diffused look that resists fingerprints and smudges. Once the satin finish is applied, the glass undergoes a toughening process—rapid heating followed by quick cooling—which significantly enhances its strength and safety. This makes it ideal for both residential and commercial applications such as shower screens, office partitions, doors, and decorative panels, where both aesthetics and durability are important. If broken, satin toughened glass shatters into small, harmless fragments, reducing the risk of injury.
