Minimum and maximum sizes
Minimum and maximum sizes
To determine the minimum and maximum sizes available for finished glass products, the glass fabricator must be consulted. Physical/mechanical capabilities and constraints of the fabricator will affect the final finished glass size availability.
Special considerations for oversized glass: IGUs and heat treatment
It’s important to understand that not all fabricators are equipped to process and/or heat-treat standard glass sizes. Minimum and maximum sizes are dictated by:
- The size of glass available from the primary manufacturer
- Any limitations in the fabricator’s equipment
- The capabilities of the contract glazier
- Availability of specialized shipping and handling equipment (particularly for oversize units)
- Specific glass type: silk-screened, heat-treated, laminated, etc.
