Walker Glass Company Ltd.

Because it is not a coating, acid-etched glass maintains its look and finish over time, creating a translucent satin appearance which obscures view while maintaining a high level of light transmittance. Our full surface products come in four different opacities and can be used in interior and exterior applications.

The consistent quality, durability and alluring look of Walker Textures® products is unmatched. The acid-etch process creates a satin finish while keeping a slight reflection in the mirror, and reflected surface light creates the illusion of depth.  Walker’s acid-etched mirror is perfect for wall coverings and designed exclusively for interior applications.

When combined with the various choice of substrates and thicknesses, design possibilities are limited only by the imagination! Walker’s Nuance products help you achieve unique visuals while adding dimensional effects to the glass – all with the added benefit of high levels of visible light transmission. Don’t forget, if you have specific needs and wish to create a custom solution, we’re at your service!

First, the True Fade which provides an etched finish that subtly fades into a clear, fully transparent surface over a 4 inch span. Second, the Gradient which provides total control of the design to maximize the fading and etching areas. Both solutions maximize daylighting while preserving needed privacy.

Our Traction products have complete surface coverage and are the ideal solution to preserve user privacy. Traction acid-etched glass can be used inside as well as outside. Testimonials from various projects such as the TKTS exterior staircase located in Time Square, are the real proof of Traction’s track record of wear resistance.

Etched patterns are located on the outside (1st) surface which provides the greatest chance for birds to identify the glazing surface and avoid collision. AviProtek® products are used for guard rails, rain screens or in insulated units (typically with a third-surface low-e glass). All Aviprotek® products come with a 10 year warranty.

This innovation enables architects and building owners alike to achieve their environmental goals and earn LEED credits, while meeting solar performance targets.

Walker Glass etches patterned contrasts on the pyrolytic coated outside surface that are visible to birds but barely perceptible to humans. These patterns adhere to the industry accepted 2×4 rule endorsed by leading scientists. This transparent product can be used as a surface 1 component in insulated units, combined with a low-e glass on surface 3.

Mirror is a truly versatile product that reflects images, throws light into dark areas and creates the impression of greater space in any area. Walker’s line of tinted mirrors provide Interior Designers with the ability to add richness, depth and a touch of sophistication to any decor. Simply put, the depth and breadth of our offering in terms of color, size and thickness is unbeatable. Our products are made in North America – ready to ship when you need them.
