Decorative Glass Finishes

Interior design enthusiasts and professionals alike know that glass finishes are a must-have tool for transforming spaces. Not only do they add style, texture, and privacy, but they also allow natural light to filter through, maintaining a bright and open feel. You can achieve a sleek and modern look while still ensuring privacy in areas such as conference rooms or bathrooms by using glass finishes. These finishes are perfect for such spaces, providing a sophisticated appearance and maintaining privacy. Glass finishes are also easy to clean and maintain, making them a practical choice for commercial spaces.

When it comes to glass finishes, the 3M Fasara range is a collection of high-quality decorative glass finishes that provide both privacy and style. This range includes a variety of finishes such as frosted, etched, and textured patterns, and comes in a range of colours and designs.

What types of glass finishes are available?

Several options are available when designing with glass finishes, each with unique characteristics and benefits. Frosted effects, gradation effects, patterns, colours, and tinted films are prevalent glass finish options. These options provide designers with a variety of styles and designs to choose from, making it possible to achieve the desired design outcome for any project. Frosted glass is popular for creating privacy in spaces like bathrooms or conference rooms, while tinted glass can reduce glare and add a decorative touch to windows. Solyx films offer a great selection of unique looks, such as Fluted glass effects that let light through but warp the vision. The patterned glass features a repeating pattern or texture, adding visual interest and depth to a space. Understanding the different types of glass finishes can help you select the right option for your space based on your functional and aesthetic needs.

What are the benefits of using glass finishes in interior design?

First and foremost, glass finishes are a versatile and stylish way to add privacy to a space without sacrificing natural light. They can be used to create partitions, dividers, and doors that provide visual separation while maintaining an open and airy feel. And with the range of decorative options, from patterned and textured glass to coloured and tinted options that can add a pop of colour or visual interest to any space. Glass finishes are easy to maintain and clean, making them a practical and durable choice for high-traffic areas like offices, hotels, and restaurants and can help to create a modern and sophisticated look that can elevate the overall aesthetic of any space.

Is it possible to customise glass finishes to suit a specific design aesthetic?

Glass finishes can be customized to fit a specific design aesthetic, making it possible to achieve a unique look that aligns with your design vision.  Whether you’re looking to incorporate a unique pattern, logo or custom design into your glass finish, there are a variety of options available to achieve the desired look. At Footprint Creative, for example, we specialise in creating custom printed glass effects, as well as cutting unique patterns or logos into the films to create a truly personalised finish. This level of customisation not only ensures that the glass finish perfectly complements the overall design aesthetic of the space, but also adds an element of uniqueness and individuality to the space. With the ability to create a fully customised glass finish, the possibilities for interior design are truly endless.
