Beveled glass

Hey there buddy! Do you know what glass is? It's a see-through material that we use to make windows, glasses, and mirrors. Now, beveled glass is a type of glass that has a very special edge, like a wide V-shape. This edge makes the glass look super fancy and elegant!

When glass is made, it usually has a straight edge all around it. But with beveled glass, the edge of the glass is cut and polished in a special way so that it becomes a sloping edge. This sloped edge can be straight, curved, or even have multiple angles - just like a puzzle piece.

This sloping edge is called a bevel, and it reflects light in a really unique way. It makes the glass sparkle and shine all around the edges. You can see the reflection of light in all sorts of different colors!

Sometimes, people use beveled glass to make fancy windows or doors for their homes. It can make a room look really special and artistic. Some people also use beveled glass for fancy mirrors or picture frames.

So, there you go, little buddy! Beveled glass is just a fancy type of glass that has a really special edge that makes it shine and sparkle in the light.
