How is wired glass made?
Wired glass is made as a part of a rolled glass manufacturing process. Rolled glass is manufactured by passing molten glass from a furnace through a series of rollers to produce the desired thickness and pattern. The rolled glass process is used to create wired glass, figured or patterned glass, and art/opalescent/cathedral glass. For wired glass, a welded steel mesh is pressed into the molten glass during the rolling process. Wired glass may be further processed by grinding and polishing both surfaces, producing “polished wired glass.
