    given the choice – for appearance sake – what would you think the best side of the glass is to apply etch to?
    the side nearest to you or the side furthest away?

    it probably doesn’t matter too much on single glass but i was wondering about distortion on double glazing
    i have two windows to do – both in an internal complex where it can be applied on either side of the windows (they will have text on so will have a definite side to be read from)

    or is there not that much in it and i’m thinking about it too much?

    We always apply etch to the back of the glass, or in an office area, the opposite side to where it’s most likely to be seen and walk past.

    ie in an internal office corridor with glass office walls, we’d stick it inside the office so it’s less prone too damage by people passing, and then the graphics on the front.

    …………..unless the office is full of filing cabinets etc. pushed up hard to the glass wall – then make it easy for yourself and do it on the front/corridor side.
