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 />

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 />

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 />
• clear and extra clear glass<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 />

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 />
