Without these dots, the glass could become loose and eventually fall out of the frame. These frits are also there for aesthetic purposes.

    I also quoted the article. I understand that part and the black stripe, but I don’t understand how the dots help in this.

      The dots themselves don’t do anything, but the black border does. But if you see the dots coming off the glass, it’s a sign that the frit around the edge may also have started detaching from the glass.
