Posting this picture resulted in several comments/messages about how flat the glass is. Is it tempered? Is it heat soaked? What is it? How can I ensure glass flatness on my project? 1. The glass is tempered and heat soaked. 2. The outboard lite is 5/16". 3. The glass represents the following flatness requirements: .003" max rollerwave distortion .008" max edge dip/leading-trailing edge .25" max overall bow distortion Max +/- 100mD (millidiopter) over 95% of glass surface I appreciate and welcome the questions! #whofabricatesyourFLATglass

This is great, Seth! Other questions being asked is, what Viracon coating is being used and what’s the aspect ratio (width to height) of the glass. Do you happen to know?

Wow! Rare to get tempered so flat, especially if only 8mm thick. Top quality convection furnace and skilled operator. Heat soaked and heat strengthened is apparently easier to achieve flatness, but legal in few countries. Laminated annealed outer lites may have other performance disadvantages, but they provide a consistent flat finish.
