Questions & Answers
Can acid-etched glass be tempered?
Yes, acid-etched glass can be tempered. The etching process does not add anything to the glass, therefore acid-etched glass can be further processed in many different ways, including laminated, back painted, bent, etc.
How do you clean acid-etched glass and mirror products?
What are the available sizes for the different Walker products?
Walker products are available in the standard stock sheet size of 96’’ x 130’’. We now offer our Velour finish in oversize dimensions of 100’’ x 168’’ and 100’’ x 204’’. For other available sizes please contact our Customer Service Department.
We must also point out that the etching process creates a trim around the perimeter of the glass that is not usable. The trim is ¾’’ on each side.
How long does it takes to receive my order?
Generally speaking, the normal turnaround time is under two weeks from order acknowledgment to delivery of Walker products to your door. However, there are many factors that can influence delivery timelines. It is always best to check in with our Customer Service Department to confirm your specific delivery date.
In the case of AviProtek E, low-e coated acid-etched bird friendly glass, standard patterns take approximately 6 to 8 weeks to process.
What is the difference in opacity between your finishes?
Can acid-etched mirror be used in a spandrel application?
Unfortunately, mirror cannot be used in exterior applications. In order to obtain a similar look, a combination of Walker Textures acid-etched glass with paint and/or another glass substrate would result in a similar look.
In which position can acid-etched glass be used in an insulated glass unit?
Acid-etched glass can be used in any of the four positions in an insulated glass unit. If you visit our project gallery you will find many different examples where our glass was used from the first to the forth position.
What is your product warranty?
Both the acid-etched surface finishes and mirrors are supported by a 10 year warranty. For more detail please visit the warranty page.
