Glass Edging

Finishing the sharp edges of cut glass is applied for safe handling, chip reduction, or aesthetics. At Abrisa Technologies, we provide angled and multilevel bevels, seams, corner dubbing, circle or flat ground, pencil, and polished glass edging.

Flat Ground Edges

Diamond embedded grinding wheels put a satin finish on the edge.

Flat Polish Edges

Taking a ground edge another step, polishing the edges to give the glass a nice sheen finish.

Beveled Edges

3 Styles

Ground or polished bevels on glass or mirror, circles, rectangles to any degree can be provided.

Beveled Glass Edge

Bullnose Edges

Half & Full

These are typically polished edges (can be ground if required) that are similar to pencil edges, the difference being that the bullnose edge is a full radius curve where the diameter matches the thickness of the glass substrate. There are specific profiles where the relief angles can be different, typically where aesthetics are important or for critical applications where the edge of the glass could affect functionality.
