When used as a cover on a wood surface, normally a thinner glass is used.  The edges of the glass would normally be polished to smooth them out and avoid the possibility of injury from the sharp edges.  When glass is used as a wood surface cover there is no need for tempering the glass.  Each of our thick glass table tops features an edge of your liking- a brilliantly polished edge with a small decorative ledge- especially well-suited for formal dining or fine accent tables.

Glass v grooving is not an edging process, but uses similar polishing and grinding technology in producing decorative grooves (patterns) or plate grooves (straight) on the surface of glass. The depth of the v groove is related to the thickness of the glass, and it is not recommended to be fabricated on glass less than 1/8″ thick.

One special window or your entire home can be enhanced with the elegance of custom  v grooved glass. This special design treatment is heralded by architects and interior decorators alike for its distinctive charm. Custom v grooved glass is available in insulated windows and patio doors. Pick the style that matches your decor. Custom v grooved glass is available in several styles with 3 distinct groove effects to suit your taste.

V-Groove is a way to engrave any type of glass. Both lineal and curved patterns can be cut into the glass surface to create a distinctive look or to add a functional benefit.

V-Groove is cut into the glass using an innovative technique that is like using a chisel on wood. The first pass, called a grind, creates a textured opaque finish. It can be left like this or put through a second pass, or a polish, which creates a smooth clear finish. Or you can combine a wide grind with a narrower polish to create a shadow.

Bear Glass can create almost any pattern or design that you can think of. From traditional and ornate patterns to sleek contemporary geometric designs, with Bear Glass V-Groove you have plenty to consider – different finishes, different widths, applied to your design.

Our V-groove and face bevelling machine can produce unlimited designs to meet your specs of any job. We also have our own in house designers that can work with you on your designs. Whether you are working with glass or mirror we can meet your needs.

Bear Glass manufactures and offers V Groove Glass which are available in variety of shapes, sizes, colors and designs to match with the interiors and exteriors. These glasses are well suited for homeowners as they can give striking look to their windows and doors. Also, the transparency of V groove glass adds a different look to all the grooved products.

Frequently asked Mirror Re-silvering questions

Q: Is re-silvering needed?

A: Sometimes mirrors appear to be dirty or streaked on the front surface. The silvering on the back has no problem. So clean the mirror surface properly to check that it has no damage on the front surface.

Q: Is it possible to re-silver a small portion of the mirror?

A: Yes, it is possible to re-silver a portion of your mirror to re-silver. Unfortunately, satisfactory results are not guaranteed and are not always achieved by doing so. If you want the best result a complete re-silvering of the mirror is recommended.

Q: How long does Re-silvering last?

A: The re-silvering should last for decades. However, we can’t control the conditions in which mirrors are hung or mounted. Bathroom mirrors or other mirrors subject to excessive moisture has higher chances of getting disturbed quicker than mirrors in the bed room or other places.

Q: What is used to silver the surface of the mirror?

A: In Earlier mirror making silver was used to coat the glass surface. But in more recent times sputtering powdered aluminum or other compounds have been used in the place of silver. Therefore today, this process is also known as aluminizing. Which makes this service more cost effective.

Q: What if the edge of the m irror has Deterioration?

A: This is very common, frequently occurring on bathroom mirrors where moisture has puddled on the edges. It might not have been installed or sealed properly in the first place. If the mirror is large simple rectangle without bevels it will be cheaper to buy a new mirror than to have it re-silvered. One solution for the problem is to cut off the damaged area and then remount the mirror. Bear Glass also provides mirror cutting services for any thickness.

Q: Does Silver Paint touch up works as re-silvering?

A: No, It doesn’t. Using paint for re-silvering a mirror will get disappointing results. Mirror re-silvering process does involve many steps and techniques that is not possible at home unless you have the proper knowledge.

Tempered glass or toughened glass is one of two kinds of safety glass which is physically and thermally stronger than regular glass. It is safer than the regular glasses and has a massive use where standard glasses can pose a potential danger.

Tempered glass is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, which actually makes the glass harder than regular glasses. Tempered glass breaks in a unique way. If any part of the glass fails, the whole panel shatters at once. And it shatters into small oval-shaped pebbles when broken, eliminating the danger of sharp edges. Therefore it is often referred to as safety glass.

Bear Glass is a third generation glass company and has proven its expertise in all kind of glass works. Bear Glass recommends tempered glass for low level fire safety. The greater contraction of the inner layer during manufacturing induces surface stresses of the glass, and that helps tempered glass to break into small pieces, rather than breaking into dangerous sharp-shards, reducing the chance of severe damages.

The manufacturing process makes tempered glass heat resistant also. Hence it is used as heat protector along with the carafes in automatic coffee makers or the windows in ovens. Tempered glass is also used to make computer screens, skylights, door windows, tub enclosures. Tempered glass shower doors are also a big hit now-a-days.

Tempered glass has massive usage for automobiles. Laminated glass is used as windshield when tempered glass is used for door-windows and as rear window so that if the glasses break, the driver or passengers remain unhurt.

Tempered glass by Bear Glass has  massive use in home-furniture designing as well as in office buildings. Tempered glass table-tops or curved glass tables by tempered glass can give your office or household a different look as well as safety for all that come in contact with the glass.

Also using  tempered cabinet glass, tempered glass table tops, or glass tables that are tempered by Bear Glass can show you a new path if you like the idea of modernization for your household or office place. Tempered glass wall, tempered glass front doors, tempered glass window or other tempered glass products by Bear Glass can assure you also of a completely safe and clean finish.

Bear Glass can help you choose your tempered glass product needs to best fit for your project and by the way, we ship tempered glass worldwide.
