Seamed
What it is
The basic safe edge. The sharpness is taken off, so the edge is safe to handle, but it is not polished: it stays frosted and matte looking from the side. This is the standard, no-extra-cost finish, finished enough to be safe, not finished enough to look polished.
In the Glass Theory customizer, Seamed is +$0 per piece.

How a machine does it
- The piece is cut to size first.
- The edge is lightly ground and sanded, just enough to remove the sharp cut edge.
- No full polishing passes are done, so the frosted look stays.
- The edge is checked by touch: no sharpness left, safe to handle.
When to pick it
- The edge will be hidden in a frame, channel, or against a wall
- You want the lowest cost and just need it safe to handle
- The look of the edge does not matter
When you do not need it
- The edge will be visible, where Flat Polish or Flat High Polish is the choice
