Glass edges come in various finishes that affect both aesthetics and safety. Pencil edges feature a slightly rounded profile that removes sharpness while maintaining a clean look, ideal for tables and shelves. Beveled edges angle downward at 45 degrees, creating decorative light refraction and sophisticated appearance, popular for mirrors and display cases. Flat polished edges offer clean, straight profiles with high shine, perfect for modern applications. Ogee edges incorporate elegant S-curves for formal furniture pieces. Waterfall edges feature rounded cascading profiles that maximize safety with a luxurious feel. Seamed edges simply remove sharp corners with basic grinding for economical applications. Edge selection impacts not only appearance but also glass strength—properly finished edges can improve impact resistance by eliminating micro-fractures that lead to breakage.
