CRISTAL I, II/III & IV<br />

ACIDS BY <strong>DBI</strong><br />

Soft and sensual, traditional acids<br />

add warmth to glass, providing<br />

sparkle for your exclusive projects.<br />

Three shades for a unique finish.<br />

CRISTALI, velvety soft.<br />

CRISTALII/III, sensuality of satin.<br />

CRISTALIV, exclusively diaphanous.<br />

Many personalized variations are<br />

possible for a contrasting, prestigious<br />

result, using these three treatments.<br />

Description<br />

CRISTALI, II/III and IV treatments change the<br />

aspect of glass giving it a translucent, smooth,<br />

silky appearance.<br />

Use<br />

Glass that is treated with CRISTALI, II/III and<br />

IV helps create personalized soft, private and<br />

elegant atmospheres for residential or professional<br />

areas.<br />

Glass that is treated with CRISTALI, II/III and<br />

IV can be used in many ways:<br />

• doors, windows, partitions;<br />

• wall coverings;<br />

• shower enclosures;<br />

• furniture, worktops, table or desk tops, closet<br />

doors;<br />

• stair steps, floor tiles.<br />

Advantages<br />

Personalization<br />

CRISTALI, II/III and IV acid etchings can be<br />

entirely personalized. They provide many possibilities<br />

to harmonize with the area in which<br />

they are used:<br />

• alternating transparent and translucid effects;<br />

• use of different acid shades with or without<br />

clear etching;<br />

• for making logos, patterns or designs of your<br />

choice;<br />

• combined with other <strong>DBI</strong> surface treatments<br />

(such as LAKOPAK or LAKTRANS).<br />

Beauty and light<br />

Glass that is treated with CRISTALI, II/III and<br />

IV create refined beauty that ensures diffused<br />

light while preserving privacy of the area.<br />

Easy maintenance<br />

Glass that is treated with CRISTALI, II/III and<br />

IV are much easier to clean and maintain in<br />

comparison to other acid etchings.<br />

Range<br />

<strong>DBI</strong>’S CRISTALI, II/III and IV acid treatments<br />

are only made-to-measure.<br />

<strong>DBI</strong> offers three uniform acid shades, from<br />

the whitest (CRISTALI) to the most translucid<br />

(CRISTALIV). These shades can be combined<br />

on the same glass in order to create selected<br />

designs. The acid treatment can also be done<br />

on both sides of the glass.<br />

It also exists in two granito shades of acid,<br />

CRISTALV (glossy) and CRISTALVI (mat).<br />

Patterns and designs<br />

A catalogue of patterns and designs is available,<br />

however customers may also ask for vectorization<br />

of their own illustrations.<br />

Glass media<br />

Personalized acid treatments can be applied<br />

to most glass media, shaped or not:<br />

• clear glass;<br />

• extra clear glass;<br />

• tinted glass;<br />

• printed glass (treatment on smooth side);<br />

• coated glass;<br />

• clear and colored mirror;<br />

• laminated glass;<br />

• tempered glass;<br />

• dual windowpanes.<br />

Dimensions and thicknesses<br />

There are no limits on dimension and thickness<br />

for treatment except for<br />

those that are inherent to the<br />

glass media that is used.<br />

Transformation<br />

After CRISTALI, II/III and IV acid treatment,<br />

glass can be shaped, tempered, laminated, (satin<br />

side should not be in contact with PVB),<br />

curved. Assembled in dual windowpanes, it is<br />

preferable to place the treated side on side<br />

4 (inside). It cannot be placed on the innerspace<br />

(sides 2 or 3) unless it is left untreated<br />

on the area that comes into contact with the<br />

double windowpanes’ rubber seal.<br />

CRISTALDESIGN<br />

ACIDS BY <strong>DBI</strong><br />

CRISTALDESIGN (formerly called “Satinovo<br />

Design”) is an etching technique<br />

(special acid) that enhances the<br />

decorative value of industrial plain<br />

acid etched glass.<br />

Description<br />

CRISTALDESIGN is a treatment where a<br />

design of your choice is etched on industrial<br />

plain acid etched glass. The parts that are etched<br />

by <strong>DBI</strong> become more transparent than<br />

the frosted base, providing a contrast between<br />

the two shades.<br />

Use<br />

CRISTALDESIGN enables personalized creation<br />

of soft, private and elegant atmospheres<br />

in residential or professional areas at a lower<br />

price.<br />

It can be used in many ways:<br />

• doors, windows and partitions;<br />

• wall coverings;<br />

• shower enclosures;<br />

• furniture, worktops, table or desk tops, closet<br />

doors.<br />

Privacy, beauty and light<br />

Satin glass in 2 shades without clear etch,<br />

CRISTALDESIGN ensures diffused light while<br />

maintaining privacy.<br />

Easy maintenance<br />

Maintenance is the same as for industrial plain<br />

acid etched glass.<br />

Glass media<br />

CRISTALDESIGN can only be applied to industrial<br />

plain acid etched glass.<br />

Dimensions and thicknesses<br />

Maximum dimension and thickness are the<br />

same as those of the glass on which it is applied.<br />

Transformation<br />

CRISTALDESIGN can be applied either on<br />

glass that has already been shaped, tempered,<br />

laminated, assembled in double windowpanes<br />

(acid etching on side 1 or 4). It can also be<br />

applied on glass before shaping, tempering, laminating<br />

(satin side should not be in contact<br />

with PVB), assembling in double windowpanes<br />

(satin side on side 1 is not recommended), silvering,<br />

curving.<br />

Advantages<br />

Quality/Price Ratio<br />

CRISTALDESIGN combines beauty and elegance<br />

for glass treated with 2 shades of acid<br />

at an attractive price since the glass used as a<br />

base for the treatment is an industrially plain<br />

acid etched glass.<br />

Personalization<br />

CRISTALDESIGN can be completely personalized<br />

and is the perfect treatment for industrially<br />

acid etched glass. It enables the creation<br />

of logos, designs and patterns of your choice<br />

in 2 shades of acid.<br />

Range<br />

CRISTALDESIGN treatments are only madeto-measure.<br />

Single shade treatment without clear etch<br />

CRISTALDESIGN is available as a single shade<br />

etch, which contrasts with industrially plain<br />

acid etched glass on which it is applied.<br />

Designs<br />

<strong>DBI</strong> has a large catalogue of designs, but also<br />

offers services to vectorize customer illustrations.<br />

LAKTRANS<br />

COLORS BY <strong>DBI</strong><br />

The infinite universe of translucid<br />

color applied to glass.<br />

Description<br />

Coated glass is obtained by applying one<br />

choice of color on the front or back side of<br />

glass. When applying the translucid coating,<br />

LAKTRANS, glass is first treated to give it diffusive,<br />

non-transparent qualities.<br />

Use<br />

Coated glass is adapted to non-damp areas in<br />

which color enhances the atmosphere.<br />

<strong>DBI</strong>’S translucid coating, (LAKTRANS), offers<br />

an unlimited choice of colors. Colors from the<br />

RAL, NCS, Pantone ranges or from a sample,<br />

LAKTRANS treatment can be used to personalize<br />

residential or professional areas.<br />

Coated glass can be used in many ways:<br />

• fitting-out: hinged or sliding doors, decorative<br />

panels, partitions;<br />

• furtniture: personalization of table or desk<br />

tops, shelves, wardrobe and closet doors;<br />

• signage solutions: logos and inscriptions,<br />

alone or in combination with deep-etched<br />

sandblasting (SANDDEEP).<br />

Advantages<br />

Personalization<br />

<strong>DBI</strong>’S coated glass can be completely personalized.<br />

It can be used in many ways to fit into<br />

all areas:<br />

• unlimited selection of colors inspired by<br />

RAL, NCS, Pantone ranges or manual customtinting<br />

according to sample;<br />

• it is possible to combine several colors on<br />

the same glass;<br />

• combination of opaque and translucid colors;<br />

• for making logos, designs or patterns of your<br />

choice;<br />

• combined with other <strong>DBI</strong> surface treatments<br />

(for example, CRISTALI, II/III & IV,<br />

CRISTALINE, SANDDEEP, ...)<br />

Coating protection<br />

Coating applied to the back of glass protects<br />

the aspect and colors from deterioration.<br />

Range<br />

LAKTRANS treatments are only made-tomeasure.<br />

No standard range, all colors from<br />

the RAL, NCS or Pantone ranges can be made<br />

translucid.<br />

Glass media<br />

<strong>DBI</strong>’S LAKTRANS coatings can be applied to<br />

most glass media:<br />

• clear and extra clear glass<br />

• glass treated with acid;<br />

• stamped glass (treatment on smooth or<br />

printed side) ;<br />

• clear and colored mirrors;<br />

• laminated glass ;<br />

• tempered glass.<br />

Dimensions and thicknesses<br />

There are no maximum limits on dimension<br />

or thickness for coating treatments. However,<br />

when treating large surfaces with a translucid<br />

coating, clouds of color or dry spots sometimes<br />

appear, and they are acceptable within<br />

a certain limit of tolerance inherent to the<br />

method of manufacture. It is also important<br />

to note that the choice of glass media (type<br />

and thickness) has an effect on the color perceived<br />

on the glass side. For light colors such<br />

as white or yellow, an extra-clear glass should<br />

be used to limit the effect of the natural green<br />

tint of glass.<br />

Transformation<br />

Coating can be applied on simple glass or<br />

glass that has already been shaped, tempered,<br />

laminated, curved, assembled in double windowpanes.<br />

It can also be applied on glass before cutting,<br />

shaping, assembling in double windowpanes.<br />

Glass that is treated with LAKTRANS can not<br />

be tempered after treatment.<br />

Assembled in double windowpanes, the coated<br />

side should be placed on the inside of the<br />

double pane (side 2 or 3),<br />

only if it has not been treated<br />

in the rubber seal area.<br />

Otherwise, the coated side should<br />

be placed on the outside of one of the<br />

two panes.<br />

LAKOPAK treatments are only made-tomeasure.<br />

All the colors in the RAL, NCS, Pantone<br />

ranges are available. Personalized tints<br />

can be made using customer samples.<br />

Some additional <strong>DBI</strong> coating treatments are<br />

possible in supplement to the LAKOPAK base<br />

coat treatment. Their usefulness depends on<br />

how the coated glass will be used. <strong>DBI</strong> offers<br />

an opaque coating, a reinforced coating and/<br />

or a safety coating.<br />

Glass media<br />

<strong>DBI</strong>’S LAKOPAK coatings can be applied to<br />

most glass media:<br />

• acid-treated glass;<br />

• stamped glass (treatment on smooth or<br />

stamped side);<br />

• clear and colored mirrors;<br />

• laminated glass ;<br />

• tempered glass.<br />

Dimensions and thicknesses<br />

There are no maximum limits on dimension<br />

or thickness for coating treatments. However,<br />

the choice of glass media (type and thickness)<br />

has an effect on the color perceived on the<br />

glass side. For light colors such as white or<br />

yellow, an extra-clear glass should be used<br />

to limit the effect of the natural green tint of<br />

glass.<br />

Transformation<br />

Coating can be applied on simple glass or<br />

glass that has already been shaped, tempered,<br />

laminated, curved, assembled in double windowpanes.<br />

It can also be applied on<br />

glass before cutting, shaping,<br />

assembling in double windowpanes.<br />

Glass that is treated with<br />

LAKOPAK can not be tempered after<br />

treatment.<br />

Assembled in double windowpanes, the coated<br />

side should be placed on the inside of the<br />

double pane (side 2 or 3), only if it has not<br />

been treated in the rubber seal area. Otherwise,<br />

the coated side should be placed on the<br />

outside of one of the two panes.<br />

SANDART & SANDGRADES<br />

SANDS BY <strong>DBI</strong><br />

The size of particles that are projected determines<br />

the glass finish. From micro-sand<br />

to the largest particles of sand (SANDUNI |<br />

SANDMICRO), from frosting (SANDART) to<br />

grading (SANDGRADES), <strong>DBI</strong> is an expert in<br />

treatment for various uses for uncomparable<br />

results.<br />

Description<br />

Sandblasting is an operation that dulls the<br />

glass surface by projecting sand at high-pressure.<br />

During the treatment, abrasive particles<br />

attack the glass, making it translucid. The size<br />

of sand particles and the material that is used<br />

determine the treatment’s finished abrasiveness<br />

and smoothness.<br />

Use<br />

Sanded glass is used to personalize private or<br />

professional areas.<br />

It can be used in many ways:<br />

• doors, windows and partitions;<br />

• shower enclosures;<br />

• furniture, worktops, table or desk tops, closet<br />

doors;<br />

• safety markings for glass doors and partitions;<br />

• stair steps, floor tiles (also see anti-slip treatment,<br />

CRISTALSTEPS).<br />

Advantages<br />

Personalization<br />

<strong>DBI</strong>’S sand treatments can be completely personalized,<br />

offering numerous possibilities to<br />

fit all areas:<br />

• alternating transparent and translucid effects;<br />

• for making logos, designs or patterns of your<br />

choice;<br />

• combined with other <strong>DBI</strong> surface treatments<br />

(such as LAKOPAK or LAKTRANS).<br />

Privacy and light<br />

Sanded glass adds privacy to a room, while<br />

maintaining natural light.<br />

Range<br />

Sanded glass is only made-to-measure. The<br />

following can be made using various processes:<br />

SANDUNI – uniform sandblasting<br />

Sandblasting can be applied to all or part of<br />

the surface to be treated. In this case, a text,<br />

logo, geometric design or other pattern of<br />

your choice can be sandblasted. A catalogue<br />

of patterns and designs is available, however<br />

customers may also ask for vectorization of<br />

their own illustrations.<br />

SANDMICRO – micro-sandblasting<br />

The use of extremely fine particles of sand<br />

gives the sandblasted glass an aspect that is<br />

close to acid etched glass. It is ideal for dirtresistant<br />

protection on double windowpanes.<br />

SANDART - frosting<br />

By using different abrasives and sandblasting<br />

techniques, graded frosting can be applied<br />

to specific parts of a design to add texture.<br />

This technique is mostly used for sandblast<br />

etching figurative designs (birds, reeds, herons,<br />

Venus…).<br />

SANDGRADES - grading<br />

Grading can be applied to all or part of the<br />

surface, with or without clear etching, beginning<br />

with a tratment at 100%, gradually decreasing<br />

sandblasting intensity.<br />

Glass media<br />

Sandblasting treatments can be used on most<br />

glass media:<br />

• clear and extra clear glass<br />

• tinted glass;<br />

• stamped glass;<br />

• coated glass;<br />

• clear and colored mirrors;<br />

• laminated glass;<br />

• tempered glass.<br />

Dimensions and thicknesses<br />

There is no limit on maximum dimension or<br />

thickness for shaped work.<br />

Transformation<br />

Sandblasting treatments can be applied to<br />

your choice of glass that has already been shaped,<br />

tempered, laminated, curved, assembled<br />

in double windowpanes.<br />

When assembled in double windowpanes, the<br />

sandblasted side must not be placed on the<br />

inside of the double windowpane (side 2 or<br />

3), unless there is no treatment in the rubber<br />

seal area. Otherwise, the sandblasted side<br />

must be placed on the outside of one of the<br />

two panes (exterior applications: no treatment<br />

on side 1).<br />

SANDDEEP & SANDBOLD<br />

SANDS BY <strong>DBI</strong><br />

SANDDEEP and SANDBOLD are original,<br />

personalized techniques borrowed<br />

from stonemasonry. They add sculptural<br />

dimension to glass texture.<br />

Description<br />

Atmosphere and light<br />

Sandblasted and carved glass treatments change<br />

natural light into unreal, extraordinary reflections<br />

that are enhanced by the treatment’s<br />

structure and depth, similar to the sun’s reflection<br />

in a diamond or ice sculpture.<br />

Deep sandblasting (SANDDEEP) enables<br />

deep, generous texture for designs.<br />

After the SANDDEEP treatment which gives<br />

deep pattern structure, glass carving (SAND-<br />

BOLD) adds a multitude of sparkles to glass.<br />

Range<br />

Sandblasted and carved glass treatments are<br />

only made-to-measure. It is possible to vary<br />

the depth of sandblasting according to the<br />

desired effect and the pattern. SANDDEEP is<br />

perfectly suited to text creations.<br />

Use<br />

Textured sandblasted glass can be used for<br />

personalizing private or professional interiors.<br />

They can be used in many ways:<br />

• doors, windows and partitions;<br />

• furniture, worktops, table or desk tops;<br />

• stair steps, floor tiles (also see the anti-slip<br />

treatment, CRISTALSTEPS) ;<br />

• glass sculptures and works of art using glass<br />

media;<br />

• trophies;<br />

• signage solutions.<br />

Advantages<br />

Personalization<br />

<strong>DBI</strong>’S sandblasted and carved treatments can<br />

be completely personalized. They can be used<br />

in many ways to fit into areas:<br />

• alternating transparent and translucid effects,<br />

depth and texture contrasts;<br />

• for making logos, designs or patterns of your<br />

choice;<br />

• combined with other <strong>DBI</strong> surface treatments<br />

(such as LAKOPAK or LAKTRANS).<br />

Glass media<br />

Sandblasting can be applied to most glass<br />

media:<br />

• clear and extra clear glass<br />

• tinted glass;<br />

• coated glass ;<br />

• clear and colored mirrors;<br />

Dimensions and thicknesses<br />

There is no limit on maximum dimension or<br />

thickness for shaped work. However, we recommend<br />

using a media that is thick enough<br />

to obtain the desired texture.<br />

Transformation<br />

Glass that is treated with SANDDEEP and<br />

SANDBOLD can not be tempered after treatment.<br />
