Polished edges offer a refined glossy finish, but what\u2019s the difference between different styles of polished edge treatments? In today\u2019s blog, we dive into what sets a flat polished edge and a pencil polished edge apart, and we offer practical applications for each.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Flat Polished Edge<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A flat polish is a straight edge treatment that offers clean lines, a sleek appearance, and a glossy finish. Most flat polish edge treatments also feature a 45\u00b0 chamfer at the top and bottom edge, which softens the sharpness and offers an added design appeal. To achieve this beveled look and feel, glass is run along a belt to remove glass chips and smooth edges. This results in a polished, finished look that\u2019s often displayed on frameless mirrors, elegant table tops, decorative cabinets, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The appeal of a flat polished edge is largely due to its economical properties and showcase value. Because the glass edge is so simple and refined, it showcases the glass thickness beautifully.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Pencil Polished Edge<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pencil polish is a rounded edge treatment that\u2019s typically found on glass protector tops. The term \u2018pencil\u2019 refers to the rounded glass finish of the edge radius, which is similar to the roundness of a pencil. This style of edge treatment is ideal for circular tables or furniture with rounded corners, as glass protector tops fit nicely on these. A pencil polish can often be found on mirrors, adding an aesthetic quality to the function and design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One important benefit of a pencil edge polish is its safety. Since the edges are rounded, it\u2019s difficult to injure yourself on the polished edge. When compared to flat edge polishes, the pencil polished treatment is the best choice for glass that will be placed in high traffic areas. And it looks great as well!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Custom Glass Types with Ryan\u2019s all-glass<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flat polished edges and pencil polished edges are quite different, yet they both showcase your aesthetic style.
