Our Process

1. Assessment of Requirements

Define your project requirements, such as the type of glass, dimensions, thickness, and any specific design or customization preferences.

2. Quotation and Estimate

After our experts review your project, you will receive a detailed and free quotation outlining the costs, timeline, and specifications.

3. Glass Selection

Choose the type of glass that best suits your project, considering factors like clarity, tint, and any additional features required.

4. Tempering Process

Controlled heating in a tempering furnace and rapid cooling form a tough surface and interior layers, strengthening the glass.

5. Customization

If applicable, any additional customization, such as sandblasting or coatings, is applied to improve the visual of the glass.

6. Client Satisfaction

Luxe Glass & Tempering ensures your satisfaction with the final product and addresses any concerns or questions you may have.

How does Glass Tempering Works?

After a piece of glass has been fabricated, it is ready to be tempered. Here is a closer look at each step and its unique purpose.

Cutting

The first step is to cut the glass into the desired shape. Fabrication, such as edging or etching, must be completed before tempering, or the integrity of the final process could be compromised.

 

 

Edit Content

Pencil Ground Edges

Diamond embedded grinding wheels put a satin finish on the edge, with an edge radius similar to pencil or C-shape.

Pencil Polished Edges

Edges are polished to a sheen finish, with radius similar to pencil or C-shape.

Edit Content

Safety Seamed Edge

Swiped & Chamfered Edges

A sanding belt is used to lightly sand off the sharp edge of the glass.

Dubbed Corners

Chamfered or Radius Corner

The sharp edge of each corner can be nubbed or broken as required.

Stepped and Route Surfaces

Glass is ground away to leave a step or lip.

Beveled Edges

3 Styles

Ground or polished bevels on glass or mirror, circles, rectangles to any degree can be provided.

Bullnose Edge

HALF & FULL

These are typically polished edges (can be ground if required) that are similar to pencil edges, the difference being that the bullnose edge is a full radius curve where the diameter matches the thickness of the glass substrate. There are specific profiles where the relief angles can be different, typically where aesthetics are important or for critical applications where the edge of the glass could affect functionality.

HALF BULLNOSE

FULL BULLNOSE

Rapid Cooling

The glass undergoes a rapid-fire, high-pressure cooling procedure. This process lasts just seconds, as air blasts from a precisely-placed array of nozzles quickly cool the outer surfaces of the glass. 

As the center cools, it tries to pull back, which leaves it in tension while the outer surface is in compression. This dichotomy is what gives tempered glass its impressive strength.
