CUSTOM DECORATIVE ARCHITECTURAL GLASS

COLLABORATIVE DESIGN + UNIQUE SOLUTIONS

OUR CRAFT

WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF SERVING OUR CLIENTS AND WORKING WITH UNIQUE APPLICATIONS.

Echo Etching has been imaging, etching, carving, and color-treating custom architectural flat glass since the 1980s. We work with architects and designers to create unique, custom looks that enhance or integrate with new and existing décor packages. Since we have no fixed product line, architects and interior designers can design the glass work and we create it. Makes catalog shopping seem sort of ordinary and a bit boring doesn’t it? 

At Echo Etching, we provide samples, budget estimates and consulting services at no up-front charge. We work with glass contractors and general contractors by supplying quotations on items specified. And, we understand the technical side of glazing so we work with them to get the job done right.
