The phenomenon of glass distortion often puzzles both inexperienced and seasoned glaziers alike. It’s interesting to note that this can result from the tempering process or even from how the glass is handled. Has anyone here encountered specific cases where they had to address distortion in high-profile projects? It’s crucial we share our experiences for the sake of quality assurance.
And i’ve definitely seen distortion issues pop up after the tempering process, especially on larger glass panels. It’s key to keep the edges clean; any residue can amplify warping during installation. In one project, we had to re-cut glass that warped badly just from handling.
It’s fascinating how tempering can really mess with glass clarity. I once had to replace a whole series of panels because of distortion from improper handling — turns out even a tiny smudge can cause a huge headache! Ever had to redo a job because of that?
