When Polished Edges Matter
At The Glass Shop Online, polished safety edges are included free of charge as standard on the majority of our glass products.
Polished edges give glass a clean, professional, high-quality finish that feels smooth and looks premium. Because we believe every customer deserves this standard, we include polished edges at no extra cost on all toughened glass, mirrors, and most other products where it is practical and required for toughening.
Why polished edges matter
A polished edge is not just about looks — it:
- Removes sharp arrises for safer handling
- Gives a smooth, elegant appearance on exposed edges
- Is the industry-preferred finish for visible glass
Whether your glass is for a staircase, balustrade, shower screen, shelf, table top or partition, polished edges make the finished job look and feel far more complete.
Our standard is polished edges included free
Unlike most suppliers who charge extra for polishing, we offer polished safety edges free on:
- All toughened glass
- Mirrors
- Most other cut-to-size products
- Double-glazed units
- Fire-rated glass
- Laminated glass
These products are almost always installed fully framed, so polished edges are not required in the same way. Even on these items we still perform the necessary edgework for safe toughening and quality.
This is one of the ways we stand out: you get a premium finish as standard, without the usual premium price.
When do polished edges really make a difference?
Polished edges are most important when the glass edge will be visible or touched:
- Shelves and table tops
- Shower enclosures and screens
- Balustrades and staircases
- Partitions and room dividers
- Any situation where the edge is on show
If the glass is going into a frame or rebate where the edge is completely hidden, a polished finish is still beneficial but not always visible to the end user.
