Acid-Etched & Mirror Glass
Ideal for residential and commercial interior features, such as partitions and dividers, tabletops and shower screens, Vitro Architectural Glass produces Pavia® Acid-Etched Glass and Platia® Mirror Glass. In 2024, both Pavia and Platia glasses by Vitro received Cradle to Cradle® Bronze certification for the first time.
Pavia® Glass
Pavia® glass by Vitro is a translucent architectural glass that is ideal for safeguarding the privacy of interiors with a touch of creativity and exclusivity. The versatility and aesthetic qualities of this type of architectural glass set the standard so that the ideas of design professionals can be transformed into light, color and textures that meet their creative and functional needs. It is produced using an acid treatment that is applied to one face of the glass, resulting in a smooth, translucent surface with a certain degree of opacity.
Benefits include:
- Easy to clean due to its low adherence coefficient
- Smooth to the touch
- High resistance to stains and/or fingerprints
- Anti-reflection action
- With the exception of Pavia® Dual glass, Pavia® glass has a face that resists grime, ideal for kitchens and bathrooms
