Edge Clearance
Nominal spacing between the edge of the surface of the glass product and the glazing channel base.



Edging
Grinding the edge of the flat glass to a desired shape or finish.



Emissivity
The ability of a material to emit radiant energy. Emittance is the ratio of the total radiant energy emitted by a given surface to that emitted by an ideal black body at the same temperature. To emit is to give out, to discharge-in the case of glass, essentially, to reradiate absorbed energy (heat).



Encapsulation
Injection molding around the perimeter of an AG part.



Exterior Glazed
