Cutouts and Locations

General

In order to assist our glass through the tempering processes it is a requirement that cutouts are located at a MINIMUM distance, as indicated on the following schedule. However basic design rules require:

• Cutouts must have an internal radius corner that is as large as possible.
• The width of each panel is as wide as possible.
• The amount of glass between a hole and the edge of the glass, or between two holes, must be as great as possible.
• Combinations of holes and notches or groups of holes within close proximity are to be avoided.

Notches and Cutout Shapes

• The internal corners of notches and cutout must have radius corners.
• The minimum radius of an internal corner should be 2.5 times the glass thickness.
• Cutouts with any edge longer than 12" should have an internal radius of 4 times the glass thickness.
• Cutouts on the edge of a piece of glass must have a minimum of 4" of glass between notches and/or corners.
