FORMS OF SUPPLY

Strip Glass
Strips are extruded bars of glass which are usually scored and broken off at 24” to 26” lengths during the manufacturing process. The thinnest strips are 8 – 10 mm (3/8”). Widths range from 4” to 13”. Slightly rounded corners are typical with strip glass, as is a somewhat rippled surface.  (Click on image for larger view)

Block Glass
Standard rectangular blocks typically measure about 250mm x 240mm x 150mm (10” x 9 ½” x 6”), although larger and small configurations are often available. After cooling, blocks usually have rounded corners and edges with a sunken top which is a natural result of the cooling process.  (Click on image for larger view)

Square Bars
These are extrusions that are commonly broken off at lengths of about 24”. Sizes range from 70 mm (2 ¾”) to 110mm (4 ¼”). Square bars have slightly rounded edges and a rippled surface.  (Click on image for larger view)
