What Every Modular Framer Should Know About Glass

This paper is an attempt to strengthen the glass/framer relationship by disseminating glass information, vernacular and insight to the modular framer. The report contains a brief discussion of glass basics, but will mainly focus on the glass characteristics of size, sag, thickness, glass tempering, edge quality, off-form, rate-of-change and appearance. Each glass property or characteristic will be described and/or defined and an indication of how that property specifically affects or impacts the modular framer. Discussions will be limited to tempered glass.
