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
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.
太棒了Seth,I want to communicate with you about some cooperation issues. Could you please contact and reply me?
This picture is stunning! Kudos to the photographer, too!
Love this!!! Thanks Seth for the added detail!

3moThis 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?
