What
is the difference in the types of

Edge work does two things: (a) it
takes the sharp off the glass and
(b) it gives presentation to the glass.
We
offer four types of edge work:
Seamed Edge
- This edge is ground just to remove
sharpness. This is not a decorative
edge and is used primarily for safety
purposes where the glass or mirror
edge will not be visible.
Ground Edge
- The edge is finely ground straight.
The finish has an opaque milky look
and is used as a decorative edge
when economy is important.
Polished Edge
- A highly polished straight edge.
This is a glossy decorative finish
commonly used for tabletops and
shelving.
Pencil-Polished Edge
- A highly polished edge with a
slight radius. This is a glossy
decorative finish commonly used
for tabletops and shelving.
