Flat polished edges are the most popular choice of edgework, aside from the simple seamed edge. If the glass in your project is frameless or will not have some type of border that hides the edges, then polished edges are great for that option.

Drilling Glass is Now Possible with Heat Strengthened Glass from Jersey Tempered Glass
Builders, and those who craft furniture, know how delicate annealed glass is. When attaching this type of glass to another surface, drilling glass is not an option. Even when using tempered glass, the break pattern makes drilling a real problem. However, drilling through glass is possible when you use Heat Strengthened Glass from Jersey Tempered Glass. Read on to see how JTG has the remedy for a problem that has plagued craftspeople, builders, and DIY-ers.
How is Drilling Through Glass Now Possible?
JTG manufactures Heat Strengthened Glass that is available in a variety of thicknesses. It is two times stronger than annealed glass. Glass has traditionally been a very fragile material, and it is not possible to drill through annealed glass.
Annealed glass, when placed under pressure like that from a drill, will shatter into sharp shards making drilling glass impossible. However, the Heat Strengthened Glass from JTG is stronger, allowing the drilling process to be carried out.
How is the Heat Strengthened Glass Different from Drilling Tempered Glass?
When drilling tempered glass, although it is stronger than annealed glass, it breaks into extremely small non-sharp pieces. This safety glass is perfect for fitting in public spaces due to the nature of how it breaks in a safe manner. However, if you want to attach legs to a glass panel when making a coffee or occasional table, fix a mirror to a vanity section of a fitted wardrobe with screws, or connect more than one panel of glass to each other by drilling tempered glass, you will need to use Heat Strengthened Glass.
Drilling Glass Block Possibilities Open Up for Everyone
Drilling through glass, including drilling through sea glass, can make a project so much simpler. The possibility of being able to do this opens new ideas and methods of working with glass. Whether you want to be drilling glass blocks or panels, now you can undertake your building projects with a new sense of freedom.
The available thicknesses of JTGs Heat Strengthened Glass are:
- 1/8 inch
