Glass Cutting
We master the art of cutting, both laminated and monolithic glass. With advanced, computer-controlled cutting tables, we can realise both models and rectangular shapes with precision. Our glass cutting capacity ranges from 3 mm to 19 mm thickness.

Polishing
After cutting the glass, sharp edges are removed through grinding and polishing. This process, known as "Poli," includes coarse pre-grinding, fine re-grinding, and finally polishing.
The maximum thickness that can be processed is 55 mm, with which we strive to achieve a high-quality finish that is not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing to the highest standards.

Facet & Mitter
Facet is a beveled edge of a specific width on the edge of the glass. Almost all types of glass, regardless of thickness, can be equipped with a carefully ground beveled edge. The width of the facet is proportional to the thickness of the glass; the thicker the glass, the wider the facet can be made. Double facet grinding is also possible.
