In this paper measuring and determining of initial geometrical imperfections of set of glass members are presented. Measured specimens had the different dimensions and different composition - monolithic glass or laminated glass using different types of interlayer foils and glass panes. The shape of initial overall bow was measured using different methods and results were statistically evaluated and compared with allowable values defined in standards.
