Is it difficult to cut speciality glass?
Cutting all of our speciality glasses (other than laminated products) is no different to cutting ordinary glass, as long as three points are observed: i. Conservation (UV filtering) glasses should only be cut on the uncoated side and ii. When cutting speciality products, take great care to keep your bench free from shards of glass, debris etc by frequent sweeping or vacuuming and iii. Do not slide the glass on or off the bench – lift it carefully to minimise the risk of scratching. If using a wallmounted cutter, take great care to avoid allowing contact between glass and metalwork when loading/offloading the glass. (These comments apply equally to ordinary glass too – and if followed will practically eliminate glass damage during cutting.
