Glass notching is the process of shaping or cutting away a portion of the edge of a glass sheet to create an opening that meets installation requirements. Its forms can include semicircular recesses, square cuts, or other special shapes depending on the project design.
Although seemingly simple, the glass notching process plays a crucial role in ensuring that glass can be installed with precision and function optimally.
Functions of Glass Notching
The glass notching process is generally performed for:
Cable routing in glass tables or partitions.
Mounting for glass door hinges.
Finger pulls or handles on glass doors.
Adjustment for room corners and construction requirements.
Supporting the installation of glass accessories.
With a precise process, the glass can be installed more neatly, functionally, and in accordance with the building design.
Why Must Notching Be Done Before Tempering?
For tempered glass, all modification processes must be completed before the glass enters the tempering stage. After the glass undergoes a special heating and cooling process, it cannot be cut, drilled, or notched again.
Therefore, every notching detail must be planned from the outset, including its size, position, and shape. Precision at this stage greatly determines the quality and success of the final tempered glass product.
