Frequently Asked Questions

Can Skyline Design work on tempered glass?
Yes. Skyline’s eco-etch® process is a light abrasion process. It does not effect the tension layer of tempered glass, and therefore meets all ANSI Z97.1 tests.

Can Skyline Design work on fire-rated glass?
In most cases, Skyline can work on fire-rated glass. Please contact us for more information.

What are your standard lead times?
Average lead times range from 3-6 weeks.

Are your patterns sandblasted?
No. Skyline Design uses an environmentally friendly etching process called eco-etch®. This is a light abrasion process that abrades the glass surface with a recycled, specially formulated oxide power. The powder is reused continuously for periods up to six months; it is then resold to other vendors for use in their fabrication processes. There are absolutely no harsh chemicals or acids used in our etching methods.

What are your standard sheet sizes? 
Skyline does not offer standard sheet sizes. We fabricate glass exactly to the size required for each project. Skyline does not inventory 5'x10' or 4'x8' sheets, therefore the client only pays for what is required and actually used in a project. This saves in cost and material waste.

Are samples free?
In most cases, there is not a charge for samples. Please contact yor Skyline Design sales rep for more information.

Are all your patterns available as samples?
Yes. Upon request, all patterns are available as samples.
