Abstract
The invention relates to a method comprising the steps of: Abrasion, preferably but non-limited by means of sandblasting which produces mechanical roughing on the surface of the glass substrate, optionally applying a primer on the roughed surface, and applying an ink on this primer by means of screen printing which may be digital inkjet screen printing, drying the injected ink deposited by means of digital screen printing, and performing a tempering process. A glass substrate with an embossed surface finish is achieved which simulates the aesthetic and surface texture of different construction materials, such as stone, wood, granite, marble or porcelain, among others.

A method for producing a glass substrate with an embossed surface finish comprising the following steps:
- abrasion of the glass substrate by sandblasting on one of the faces thereof with sand having 26-46% SiO2, 0.5-1.5% CaO, 12.5-32.5% A10, 24-44% FeO, 5-10% MgO, and 0.5-1.5% MnO;
- screen printing process on a surface of the face subjected to abrasion;
- drying of the deposited injected ink, and
- tempering process.
