Sand blasting is for heavy duty work on sturdy material, steel rims, steel frames, etc. Blasting with a glass media is for more delicate material so not to warp or damage a surface like body panels.

Is glass bead blasting a good alternative for pool maintenance?

Seek alternatives if possible. We believe glass beads damage tile. Even if that weren't a problem, what about swimming in water containing tiny glass pieces? Consider dry ice blasting as an alternative. Very few companies have dry ice blasting systems. Another alternative is mineral blasting with magnesium sulfate. This mineral is softer than the tile. Therefore, it can never damage it. It is not as widely available as glass beading, but you should be able to find a company using this process if you are in the southwest (CA, AZ, NV). Search the internet for "pool tile cleaning magnesium sulfate".


What is the difference between sandblasted glass and frosted glass?

Sandblasted glass typically has a more textured finish compared to the smoother finish of frosted glass.

Does frosting glass make the glass weaker?

Frosting by sand blasting does not normally make the glass weak, if it is done in controlled temperature, following high standards and procedures. Since the blasting is done with uniform and minute sand particles, the effect is only on the surface of the frosted surface. Frosted glass could also be toughened to make it 4 to 5 times stronger.
