Glass and mirror processing
We process* glass and mirrors through grinding, polishing, and bevelling, using both our own materials and those provided by the client.
Edge grinding involves the mechanical smoothing of sharp edges and micro-irregularities that occur during the cutting process.
This process eliminates any irregularities, sharpness, and micro-cracks, giving the glass the following characteristics:
- Safety
- Durability
- Precision
- Smoothness
- Transparency/ Frosted Finish
- Aesthetic Appeal
- Versatility (in application).
The highly precise trapezoidal grind, resulting from edge grinding, is finished with a small chamfer, eliminating the risk of cuts and reducing the likelihood of micro-cracks during use. The overall process gives the edges a unique and precise appearance.
Depending on preferences and the intended effect, the client can choose between two types of grinding:
- Polished – adding shine and depth
- Frosted – imparting a milky and mysterious character
Additionally, there is the option to create edges with a chamfer ranging from 1 to 45 degrees. This chamfer allows for the joining of two glass panels, for example, when assembling glass display cases – the two edges that meet at the joint have a 45-degree chamfer, enabling them to be seamlessly connected into a single unit.
* Other glass processing techniques, such as bevelling and drilling, are described in the remaining sections.
