Seamed: A seamed edge (not shown) has been sanded and it may be rough, but it will not be sharp. It is the most economical edge but it's not recommended if the edges will be exposed.

Polished:
There are two
types of polish
- flat and pencil.
A flat polish
is generally used
on thicker glass
and tempered glass.
A pencil polish
is often available
on glass up to
3/8" thick
and some stock
sizes. A polished
edge is smooth
and shiny. It
is relatively
economical and
is suitable for
most applications
where the edge
will be visible. |

Bevel

Bevel:
Beveling creates
a decorative angle
starting near
the edge of the
glass. For example,
a 1" bevel, will
start 1" from
the edge of the
glass. The actual
edge will usually
have a pencil
polish. Beveled
edges are very
economical on
stock sizes, however,
pricing becomes
higher for custom
cut sizes and
is especially
expensive on curves. |
Other Edges: There
are other edges available
such as ogee, triple
pencil polish (waterfall),
wave, or chipped.
Sometimes these edges
are available on stock
items but they normally
have to be custom
fabricated and are
therefore very expensive.
