Sheet glass product with increased edge strength and method for producing same

A sheet glass element comprising:

• two opposite parallel faces;
• an edge connecting the two faces;
• a thickness between the two faces of at most 700 μm, the edge having an edge surface portion that is convexly curved, so that at least one of the two faces merges into the edge surface portion, the edge surface portion having a curved arc with a length that is at least 1/30 of the thickness;
• and
• indentations in the edge surface portion, the indentations having a form of furrows with a length greater than a width and a depth thereof, the depth being at least 10 nm and at most 5 μm, wherein, due to the furrows, existing or emerging cracks will influence each other so that stress intensity at ends of the cracks is reduced.
