Sandblasting ceramics

Be it for decorative or technical purposes, sandblasting is an easy way to process and shape brittle and hard materials. It allows you to come up with many new creative applications. Ceramic tiles can be processed easily through sandblasting. Cutouts, or holes, it is easy to obtain any shape. Matte surfaces to increase slip-resistance, engravings for subsequent inscriptions as well as embellishments are easy to produce. The cleaning for historical purposes completes our range of offerings. High-quality processing of various forms leaves room for the designer's creativity.

Technical information and processing details

By using sandblasting, ceramic surfaces can be labeled, engraved,  and subsequently coated with bronze, gold, silver, or colored varnish. Bricks and fibre cement can be cleaned by blasting – even severe soiling disappears. Shiny surfaces can be matted and made more slip-resistant. Just like with glass, the same goes for letterings and logos. Technical blasting, e.g. hole blasting for installation cutouts etc.

Note: It must be emphasized that when blasting on thicker materials, the wall of the hole should never trend in a 90 degree angle to the surface, but, depending on the material, taper slightly. No liability will be assumed for damages to these parts.
