Businesses in this category process flat glass to make it suitable for use in buildings, interiors, furniture and other products. Work commonly includes measuring and cutting glass to size, shaping edges, polishing, beveling, drilling holes and making cut-outs. Some processors also apply surface treatments or coatings, or produce patterned and decorative glass. Customers may obtain panes and components such as mirrors, shelves, splashbacks, glass doors, worktops and panels for partitions or faades. Further processing can include toughening to increase strength and change how the glass breaks, laminating layers together with an interlayer, and assembling panes into sealed units for insulation. Services may be provided to glazing contractors, builders, manufacturers, designers and members of the public, with specifications chosen according to the intended use and relevant safety requirements.
