Textured Glass

When using textured glass, should the textured surface be on the front or back side of the project?

Answer

You can use which ever side looks best with your design. If you want the rough side facing front, you will still cut the glass on the smooth side, so be sure to reverse the pattern piece before tracing it on the glass...otherwise you'll have a piece of glass that's backwards when you turn it over.

Textured glass

Hi,

I tend to mount the textured side of the panel facing inside, as you'll find that it won't get as dusty/dirty as if you were to use the textured side facing outward and exposed to the elements (weather). Being more susceptible to the elements, makes it so much harder to clean (lots of nooks and crannies!)
