Inquiry

Quartz plates with a frosted (ground/matte) area, printed scale, or surface marking added at a specified position — not just a plain flat plate.

Frosting and printing are added to standard plate stock (see our Quartz Plates line for base dimensions and flatness) — confirm the plate size and finish first, then the pattern layout on top of it.

Available Shapes, Sizes and Surface Options

Base plate is available in the same shapes and surface options as standard Quartz Plates — rectangular or round, as-cut, ground, or polished before frosting or printing is applied.

Frosted Areas, Lines and Surface Patterns

Frosting is a localized matte area or line, ground into an otherwise clear or polished face — used for graduated scales, diffusing windows, or reference marks. Printed marks and scales are applied as a separate marking step after the plate and any frosting are finished. Position of frosted areas and printed marks is measured from the plate edge or a stated datum; specify which face (or both) the pattern goes on, since frosting one side leaves the other clear.

Before shipment we check pattern position, line width, covered area, plate dimensions, edge condition, and mark/frost adhesion or appearance where the process calls for it.

Surface Selection

Choose Texture or Marking by the Required Result

Treatment	Creates	Best Used For
Single-side frosted	Diffusion while retaining one smoother face	Light panels and viewing surfaces
Double-side frosted	Stronger scattering and reduced direct glare	Diffuse heater and lamp interfaces
Printed scale / pattern	High-contrast lines, labels or graphics	Instrument panels and reference plates
Engraved or masked mark	More permanent mechanical reference	Alignment, identification and harsh-service markings
