manual process.<br />
Available in all<br />
thickness’ up to 3/4"<br />

Flat Ground<br />
with Arris<br />
This is a machined edge of<br />
flat form with a satin finish.<br />

Mitered Edges**<br />
This is a flat machined edge<br />

the cut edge of the panel.<br />
The thickness of glass<br />
remaining at the edge is<br />

Polished or Ground Finish<br />
**For mitered edges a customer sketch is required to identify the angle size and orientation.<br />
Requests incorporating a mitered edge and a silk-screened pattern must be approved.<br />
Laminated Glass:<br />
- Ground, polished and mitered edges are available to 2” thickness for laminated annealed glass.<br />
- Viracon recommends the aesthetics of ground, polished or mitered edges of heat treated laminated<br />
glass be evaluated because of the offset edges (edge work must be done prior to heat treating). The<br />
potential for mismatched edges exists to a maximum of 1/8”.<br />
