The range of glasses when they arrive from the glass manufacturer are typically in large sheet format waiting to be cut down and processed in a wide variety of ways such as polishing, drilling, shaping etc. They are also in, what is know as ‘annealed form’ which means that when broken, the glass pieces can be long and sharp and quite dangerous. That is why more and more safety glass is being specified by architects and designers to overcome the dangers associated with the base product of glass. The words now used to specify ‘safety’ in glass are either Laminated or Toughened.
