Frosted glass with muslin pattern, M2 - 60 x 160 - thickness 4 mm

Muslin glass, or Mousseline, is a glass with a transparent pattern on a frosted base. It was primarily used for entrance doors towards the end of the 19th century. It should let light shine in the hallway and at the same time not be completely transparent. Musline glass was first produced by means of etching with hydrofluoric acid; hence the synonymously used term etched glass. Nowadays the patterns are sandblasted using a special fine blasting technique.

Pattern sizes

Currently we offer 20 historical muslin glass patterns in different scales. To grasp the realistic proportions you can print the patterns 1:1.

Standard sizes / special sizes

Our standard realisation is 4mm Floatglas as panels in the indicated panel size. If desired we are happy produce the glas in different thicknesses; some patterns also in special sizes.

Variants

We offer muslin glass in the following variants:

• Floatglass (single pane) with a thickness of 3 bis 6 mm
• Single pane safety glass (ESG 4 mm ) €€“ a thermally toughened glass that has a higher stability; it breaks into small, relatively harmless blunt glass fragments (€€œdicing,€€) similar to car windows, and thus reduces the likelihood of injury. The glass cannot be cut or worked on later.
• Laminated safety glass (VSG 6 mm) €€“ this glass is made of 2 glass panes that are bonded to one another with a highly elastic, tear-resistant film. Advantages: It does not burst upon breaking (required by law for overhead glazing) and it prevents burglaries.
• Multi pane insulated glass (MIG 24mm) €€“ These are double glazed panes with a gas fill between the layers of glass and a U-factor of 1.1 according to DIN EN 673. Glass construction: 4mm Floatglass/16mm air space/4mm floatglass (other thicknesses on request).

Delivery time

We usually have panels of muslin glass in the variant floatglas 4mm in stock and they are shipable within one week. Minimum order quantity is half a panel (horizontally divided). We are happy to cut the glass to the desired size for a surcharge.

Packaging and delivery

Delivery is made in made to measure wooden crates. Cuts may be shipped with parcel services, bigger parts can only be transported safely with a forwarding agency. We are happy to find out the cheapest means of delivery for you.

Mounting

The frosted side of the glass is the more eye-catching side. One could also call it the "front side". This side is usually inserted facing outward.

Care instructions

Due to the production method the frosted side of the muslin glass has a roughened surface. Please do not use glass cleaner. Clean with diluted spirit and a soft microfiber cloth. You can also achieve good cleaning results with flour or fine sawdust.
