Mirror & Glass Edgework

Edgework refers to the processes of shaping, smoothing, or polishing the edges of glass or mirror to enhance both its appearance and strength, making it suitable for various applications.

Flat polish provides a smooth, flat finish that is uniform across the edge, giving glass a clean and minimalistic look, which is ideal for contemporary designs.

Pencil polish rounds the edges of the glass, softening them to remove sharpness. This finish is commonly used in glass that may be frequently handled or moved, such as in doors and tabletops.

Mitered edges are cut at an angle, typically used to create a more complex joint between two glass pieces. This is particularly useful for geometric designs or for fitting glass in unique spaces. It also provides a modern, sleek look.

Yes, properly executed edgework can remove imperfections and sharp areas from the edges of glass, reducing the risk of injury and increasing the structural integrity of the piece.
