Metallic coatings are applied to float glass in a wet deposition method to create mirror. Mirror is available in various thicknesses and colors.

Two-way mirror, transparent mirror, or Mirrorpane is designed to permit vision in one direction while presenting mirror appearance from the opposite side. Their major application is to permit undetected observation for study or surveillance. A difference in lighting level is necessary between the observed side and the viewing side. In the room to be studied – the observed side – the lighting level must be at least five times, and up to ten, greater than on the viewing side.

Seamed Edge: In this application, after the mirror is cut the edges are sanded to dull the sharp edges. This is to make the mirror safe to handle. Choose a seamed edge if the mirror is to be framed and in applications where the edges are not visible.

Flat Polish Edge: In this application the edges of the mirror have been polished to a smooth shiny finish. Choose a flat polish when the edges of your mirror are visible and you prefer a minimalistic look.

Pencil Polish Edge: Popular with circle or oval shapes, the side edge is rounded for a softer look.

Beveled Polish Edge: In this application the edges of the mirror are cut and polished in an angle with a specific bevel width to produce a certain "look". This process leaves the mirror thinner around the edges and thicker in the center. This is normally used in places where the mirror is a focal point in the room. The bevel width around the mirror can range in size from 1/4" to 1 3/4" and specified by you. Please choose your bevel width when ordering you mirror.

Holes can be drilled into glass and mirror. The hole diameter is specified by the purchaser and can range from 1/8" to 4". When ordering indicate the measurement to the center of the hole. A drawing for the hole placement will be required when placing the order.

ANNEALED:
Annealed glass is the primary glass product produced from a float glass furnace. Annealing is the process by which the molten glass is cooled. It is not a safety product and has not had any further processing such as laminating or tempering.

TEMPERED:
When broken, tempered glass breaks into a multitude of small fragments of somewhat cubical shape. Tempered glass meeting ANSI Z97.1 requirements is qualified as a safety glazing material.

Tempered glass is fabricated by subjecting annealed glass to a special heat-treating process. Most processes heat the glass to 1150 degrees F., then rapidly cool it by blowing air uniformly onto both surfaces simultaneously. The cooling process locks the surfaces of the glass in a state of high compression and the central core in compensating tension. The color, clarity, chemical composition and light transmission characteristics remain unchanged. Tempered glass is approximately four times stronger than annealed glass. Heat strengthened glass is aproximately twice as strong as annealed glass.

Fabrication, such as cutting, drilling or edging is done before the tempering process.

LAMINATED GLASS:
Laminated glass can be made in many combinations of clear, tinted, low E or solar reflective glasses. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB), the most commonly used sheet interlayer material, is available in thicknesses from .015" to .090", with .030 the most common.

When laminated glass is fractured, the particles of glass tend to adhere to the plastic, affording protection against flying or falling particles. Architectural laminated glass which satisfies the safety requirements for Category II materials, is generally two lites of annealed glass with an .030 interlayer.

Burglar resisting glass covers standards for “smash and grab" type burglaries and tests only for minimal commercial security. It generally uses a special plastic interlayer which is resistant to penetration.

Bullet resisting glass usually consists of multiple lites of glass, plastic interlayers and can include layers of polycarbonate.
