Frosted glass: The surface is uniform, fine and smooth, like jade or milk.
Craftsmanship：Chemical method: Apply sandblasting paste (mainly containing hydrofluoric acid) on the surface of the glass, and a rough surface is formed through chemical corrosion.
Surface texture：Fine, smooth and uniform, with a warm jade or milky white texture. The feel is very good.
Appearance effect：Semi-transparent, allowing light to pass through but not through, with soft light, stronger decorative effect and a more upscale appearance.
Cost：The process is relatively complex and the cost is usually higher.
Sandblasted glass: The surface has a strong granular feel and is slightly rough, with a gritty texture when touched.
Craftsmanship：Physical method: High-pressure air is used to spray abrasive materials such as emery and glass beads onto the glass surface, and a rough surface is formed through physical impact.
Surface texture：It is rough and has a granular feel. Depending on the coarseness of the sand grains used, the intensity of the granular feel varies. The touch is rather rough.
Appearance effect：Semi-transparent, allowing light to pass through but not through, with more dispersed light, and a stronger industrial style and rustic feel.
Cost：The process is simple and the cost is usually low.
How to distinguish them quickly?
Touch with your hand: This is the most direct method.
It feels extremely smooth, like smooth ceramic - it's frosted glass.
It has a distinct frosted and rough feel when touched - it is sandblasted glass.
With the naked eye (in good light conditions) :
The surface looks uniform and soft, like a layer of mist - tending towards frosted glass.
Fine particles or spots can be seen on the surface - tending towards sandblasted glass.
Summary and selection suggestions
For texture, high-end feel and easy cleaning: Choose frosted glass. It is particularly suitable for places that are frequently touched or require cleaning, such as bathroom doors and kitchen appliance panels.
For those seeking individuality, industrial style or with a limited budget: Choose sandblasted glass. It can create a private space very well and bring a unique rugged beauty.
