Why We Trust Glassplax Glass for Sandcarving Projects

We recently had the privilege of featuring Glassplax glass in the launch video for our new CrystalBlast® Nexus automatic sandcarver. Their donation of beautiful signage glass and awards glass helped us showcase the Nexus’s capabilities, and further demonstrated how important premium glass is when creating professional sandcarved awards.

Glassplax offers a wide variety of glass options perfect for sandcarving, including:

• Crystal Clear, Jade, and Blue-Colored Glass
• Different Thicknesses to suit your project needs
• Black Glass for dramatic, high-contrast designs
• Donor Wall Glass Panels for large installations

One feature we especially appreciate is their protective vacuum-sealed plastic covering. This layer protects the backside of the glass during blasting, eliminating concerns about accidental backblast or surface etching. Once sandcarving is complete, the protective film peels away cleanly, revealing a flawless finish. It's an ideal setup for maintaining the integrity and beauty of the final piece.

Glassplax: Award-Quality Products and Award-Winning Service

In addition to their superior products, Glassplax offers award-winning service. Their meticulous inspection processes, use of state-of-the-art machinery, and strong dealer relationships ensure that every piece meets the highest standards. Whether you’re creating an elegant recognition award or an impressive donor wall, you can trust Glassplax glass to deliver both performance and beauty.

Featuring Glassplax Glass on the CrystalBlast® Nexus

We recently had the opportunity to showcase Glassplax’s high-quality glass while demonstrating our new CrystalBlast Nexus automatic sandcarver. In our latest video, we used Glassplax’s award and signage pieces to highlight the precision, consistency, and efficiency that the Nexus brings to sandcarving.

The CrystalBlast Nexus is the first fully automated sandcarver built specifically for the decorative sandcarving market. Engineered for high-volume production, it delivers flawless, repeatable results across a wide range of surfaces—including the clear, jade, and black glass supplied by Glassplax. The Nexus’s programmable speed and nozzle movement, spacious vacuum table, and protective Smart Spring Technology allow users to easily create crisp, detailed designs without risking damage to the glass.

Paired with the quality of Glassplax glass, the Nexus produces stunning results, making it an ideal solution for businesses looking to elevate their awards, signage, and donor recognition projects.
