Truncated beadfilm constructions and methods of making the same

A method of making a construction comprising:

• (i) obtaining a microsphere layer comprising a plurality of microspheres, wherein the plurality of microspheres consists essentially of glass, ceramic, or glass-ceramic;
• and a bead bonding layer, wherein the plurality of microspheres is partially embedded in the bead bonding layer forming a first outermost surface of the construction, the first outermost surface comprising exposed microspheres embedded in the bead bonding layer;
• and
• (ii) abrading the first outermost surface to truncate at least a portion of the plurality of microspheres at the first outermost surface.
