During talking with clients, many clients are not very clear about what kind of glass (mirror ) edges should be used on their products. In the following, I will introduce some common-seen glass edges.
Sanded Edges
Sanded edges, also referred to as seamed edges or swiped edges. A sanding belt is used to lightly sand off sharp edges to ensure the finished piece is safe for handling. This style of edging does not provide a smooth, cosmetically finished edge and is not used for decorative purposes; therefore, this method is ideal for applications in which the edge of the glass piece will not be exposed, such as the glass installed into the frame
2. Ground Edges
Ground edges are better than sanded edes, it uses grinding machine to process glass edge to be smooth.
Ground edges shapes can be flat or circular, it depends on the glass application.
3. Polished Edges
Polished edges take on a sleek appearance and shiny or glossy finish. You can see through the glass from one side to another side. Most polished glass edges employ a small 45° angle chamfer on the top and bottom glass edges to remove sharpness. Polished glass edges are widely used in furniture glass, frameless glass products, such as glass railing, shower door, swimming pool fencing glass, etc.
