Abstract
Glazing panels, such as window panes, are protected by sheets of masking material which cover central regions of the panel surfaces and which leave marginal regions uncovered. The masked panels are installed in frames which can thereafter be sanded or painted or otherwise chemically treated. Prior to and during such treatments, the surfaces of the panels are protected by the masking material. After all installation and treatment procedures are complete, the masking material is removed to expose the clean central regions of the panel surfaces.

11. A window pane assembly comprising:
-
an uninstalled window pane that has two surfaces and that is sized and shaped to be installed in a window frame; and two sheets of masking material, one sheet being adhered to each surface of the pane, each sheet being sized, shaped and positioned to entirely cover a central region of the surface to which it is adhered and not to cover a perimeter region of that surface, the width of the perimeter region, which width need not be uniform around the entire perimeter region, being substantially the same as the distance the pane will extend along a facing surface of the frame when the pane is installed, and at least one of the sheets being sufficiently transparent to allow viewing of the pane through that sheet.
