Craftsman Edgework

In order to facilitate volume production, most glass top manufactures produce what we call "generic beveled edges." These bevels are ground at an angle of 5 degrees and remove approximately 1/8" of glass.

Our standard beveled edge is what we call a "premium bevel," because our angle runs between 8 and 18 degrees depending on glass thickness.

Although more costly to manufacture, the premium bevel is much more dynamic. The greater degree of angle makes the beveled edge detail very pronounced and gives the top an intensity with a sharper, clearer appearance that shallow generic beveling cannot provide.
