Processes
POLISHING
Polished edges are achieved by buffing the edge of the glass with a fine abrasive material and polishing oil. This meticulous process results in a beautifully translucent finish. Flat polished edges, in particular, are ideal for thicker glass applications, commonly used in shelves and frameless shower enclosures. The polished edges not only enhance the aesthetics but also contribute to the overall safety and functionality of the glass.
BEVELING
Beveled glass is typically crafted by taking thick glass and creating an angled surface cut, known as a bevel, around the entire periphery. The bevels act as prisms when exposed to sunlight, resulting in an interesting color refraction. This effect not only highlights the intricacies of the glasswork but also introduces a spectrum of colors that would be absent in clear float glass. Beveled glass is often chosen for its decorative and aesthetic qualities, adding a touch of elegance to various glass applications.
DRILLING
Drilling holes into glass or mirrors is a routine procedure, and we employ state-of-the-art equipment for this purpose. These tools are highly precise, allowing for the drilling of multiple holes per pane with exceptional accuracy. Additionally, holes can be countersunk to accommodate various fixtures and fittings.
Common applications for drilled glass include:
- Mirrors, shelves, and signage.
- Glass doors, shower doors, and glass shopfronts.
- Balustrades and bolted glass assemblies.
Drilling services at are available for any diameter and can be applied to most types and thicknesses of glass.
