GLASS SOLUTIONS
AND APPLICATIONS
SOLUTION FOR EVERY
PRODUCTION REQUIREMENT
Glass processing requires specific technologies and treatments depending on the final objective: improving safety, enhancing functional performance, achieving decorative aesthetic effects or applying permanent markings in compliance with regulations. This section brings together the main glass sandblasting and glass marking applications developed by Fratelli Pezza, organised by area of use — from safety in public spaces to interior design, from sustainable innovation to conservation restoration. Each solution is linked to the most suitable technologies: automatic and manual glass sandblasting machines, abrasive jet glass marking machines and nanotechnology protective treatments for frosted and transparent glass surfaces.
SAFETY FOR GLASS SURFACES
Solutions for improving the safety of glass surfaces through sandblasting: bird-safe markings to prevent bird strikes on glass facades, anti-slip surfaces on glass floors and steps, and visibility signage for public spaces, high-traffic buildings and commercial environments. Ideal applications for architectural glass, structural glazing facades and glass surfaces in environments with regulatory safety requirements.
PRIVACY, LIGHT AND COMFORT
Glass sandblasting treatments and processing that improve the functional performance of glass without compromising aesthetics: adjustable visual privacy from translucent to fully opaque, natural light diffusion, solar radiation control and acoustic comfort through sandblasting of glass panels and partition walls. Ideal solutions for offices, executive spaces, residential environments and contract projects.
PHOTOVOLTAICS AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Advanced glass sandblasting applications oriented towards efficiency and sustainability: surface treatment of photovoltaic panels to reduce glare and improve performance, circular economy through the recovery and reprocessing of glass with surface defects, industrial frosting for new architectural functions and inclusivity solutions for accessible environments. High-value technical and aesthetic technologies.
DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE
Sandblasting processing and protective treatments to enhance glass in the main interior design and architectural contexts: LED mirrors, shower enclosures, glass balustrades and parapets, interior design and furniture with decorative panels and glass furniture pieces, lighting on glass and crystal. Solutions designed to combine aesthetics, cleanability and durability — across residential, contract, hospitality and retail segments.
NOT ONLY GLASS
Sandblasting technologies applicable not only to glass but also to a wide range of materials: stone and marble, ceramic, wood, metal, plastic and fabric. Surface decoration, surface preparation, personalisation and finishing processing — expanding the production capabilities of glass fabricators, craft workshops and manufacturers working with mixed materials.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Sandblasting solutions for glass surface pre-treatment and functional coating removal, designed to prepare glass and other materials for subsequent processing. Sandblasting increases controlled surface roughness, improving the adhesion of paints, protective coatings and functional finishes — ensuring uniformity and quality of result in industrial finishing processes.
ART AND RESTORATION
Sandblasting applications dedicated to artistic glass, faithful decorative reproduction and conservation restoration of historic and decorative glass. Technologies combining engraving precision, depth control and respect for the original surface — for artistic laboratories, restoration specialists and producers of architecturally and culturally significant decorative glass.
GLASS MARKING AND IDENTIFICATION
Permanent glass marking solutions using abrasive sandblast technology for company logos, manufacturer signatures, symbols, regulatory codes and tactile buttons on glass. Decorative, technical and industrial applications — for product branding, regulatory compliance to EN 12150, EN 14449, ANSI Z97.1 and product traceability in production line environments.
