The edge processing is required in the manufacture of glass
products. It is due to the fact that the glass edge does not look neat after
the cutting. It is very sharp, which can lead to injuries when using the
product. In this regard, grinding and polishing of glass are necessary.

The first stage of processing the edges is grinding. It removes
irregularities and sharp inclusions on the edges with the help of special
equipment, leaving the surface matt and safe. Grinding of glass edges occurs
with the use of special abrasive wheels or tapes. After this type of operation,
the surface of the edge is matt, slightly rough and has a greenish tint.
Small scratches and cracks still may remain. Although this type of processing
is quite enough in some cases, most often the polishing is applied to eliminate
all irregularities.
Glass polishing is the second stage of edge processing. It allows
obtaining a transparent glossy glass edge, which gives the glass additional
attractiveness. This process differs from grinding in that the edge is processed
with soft fibers, instead of abrasive materials. After polishing, the edges
become smoother and more transparent. And the glass itself acquires an
aesthetic and unsurpassed appearance.
