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