Etymology

The term 'bevelled' originates from the Old French word 'baville,' which means to bevel or to slope. It is derived from the verb 'bevel,' which entered the English language in the 14th century. The concept of a bevel dates back to ancient times when artisans and builders used angled cuts for various practical applications. In woodworking and masonry, bevelled edges were employed to enhance durability and aesthetics. Over the centuries, the use of bevelled surfaces expanded into other fields, such as metalworking and glass manufacture, emphasizing both functionality and design. Today, bevelled finishes are widely appreciated in architecture and interior design.
