Overview
An acid-etched glass suitable for internal or external use, Pilkington Optifloat™ Opal creates an attractive finish for windows, partition walls, glass doors, furniture, shelving, wall cladding and many more applications. Whilst they can look stunning and create a beautiful effect, many of the semi-opaque glasses on the market have proved difficult to stock, handle and process until now.
Pilkington Optifloat™ Opal offers all the diffused natural light of a translucent glass, but with none of the drawbacks. The real beauty is that it can be stored and processed in the same way as standard float glass.
