Grinding and Polishing Edges
There is a possibility that small micro-breaks on the edges may occur during the cutting process. Thanks to the edge grinding process, the risk of breakage as a result of increased inner tensions under insolation (thermal stresses) or under the influence of mechanical forces (forced compressions, physical blows and others) is lowered.
Due to this characteristic, extra edge processing is commonly used for tempered glass. Edge grinding is also done to increase the safety of using the glass, e.g. in walls and ‘frameless doors’, where the danger of injury exists. To practice proper aesthetics, there is the added possibility of polishing the edges after grinding.
