TEXTURES ACID ETCHED GLASS AND MIRROR
The consistent quality, durability and rich look of Textures products is unmatched. The acid-etched glass creates a translucent satin appearance which obscures view while maintaining a high level of light transmittance. The acid-etched mirror offers unique design alternatives with its metallic finish.

  • Product range

    • Textures Satin – The satin finish is characterized by highly polished surface and high light transmittance.

    • Textures Opaque – The opaque finish is differentiated by its greater light diffusion, providing a higher level of opacity.

    • Available in clear, bronze, grey, black, green, blue or ultra-clear

    • Thicknesses 1/8" (3mm) to 3/4" (19mm)

    • Sizes up to 96" X130"

TEXTURES SELECT – CUSTOM ACID-ETCHED GLASS & MIRROR
Textures Select uses a flexible technique of tape masking that allows a customer to specify, subject to some limitations, an almost endless combination of etched and unetched linear stripes on the glass or mirror. In addition, etched stripes in our opaque and satin finish can be combined together

History
Established in Montreal by Arthur Walker in 1942, the company has strived from its inception to deliver products and services of the highest quality at a competitive cost.

Walker Glass' six-decade evolution into one of the only fully integrated mirror manufacturers in North America is sprinkled with milestones. In the 1960s, the company opened a brand-new manufacturing plant that included an 84-inch silvering conveyor and during the next decade, doubled the size of this facility. The 1980s saw the company introduce stoce mirror to the marketplace, along with the addition of a 100-inch double-coat silvering conveyor to its Montreal plant. In the 1990s, Walker Glass became certified under ISO9002 and adopted the Kaisen process of value-added manufacturing. In the early 2000s the company has once again doubled its plant size, now occupying 200,000 square feet of space and has introduced the Textures line of acid-etched glass and mirror.

Since its inception, Walker Glass' goal has remained essentially the same; to stay small enough to be responsive and innovative, yet large enough to be efficient and competitive.
