Products Projects Resources Company Contact Us Frequently Asked Questions What is roller distortion? Glass is typically heat treated horizontally, carried on a bed of ceramic rollers. Contact with these ceramic rollers causes surface waves on the face of the glass, and will cause distortion when viewing reflected images from a distance.
