Custom Glass Table Top
If you need glass to go on top of a wooden table you need to
Measure the size of the glass, note what the corners are like. If the corners are rounded you can make a paper template of them and we can match the profile. If the corners are square we can “bump” the corners with a sander, that will make the corner less sharp but still match the profile of the table.
The edges of table top glass look very nice with a shop polish. We have examples of this in our showroom. Several factory polishes are available as well.
If the glass is an irregular size make a paper or cardboard template and we can usually cut it to a unique shape
If you need glass to fit inside a frame that does not have support under it you most likely will need tempered glass. Tempering triples the strength of the glass. You need to make sure that the glass can fit with in the frame, if there is a lip that the glass needs to slip under there need s to be a way to open the frame to get the glass in, if the frame is welded so that it cannot be opened we might not be able to get the glass in.
Custom Glass Shelves
Glass shelves can be made of glass from ¼” to ½” thick. When thinking about shelves you need to consider:
The weight of items placed on the shelves
How the shelves are supported; around the edges, or just on the ends
If heavy items will be placed on the shelves or it is in a shower the glass will need to be tempered.
Shelves can be cut in many custom shapes. A good way to get exactly what you want is to provide us with a paper or cardboard template.
Custom Cabinet Glass
We have many kinds of patterned glass in the showroom that is ideal for cabinet fronts. If you don’t see what you like we can order other types. We usually install the glass by adhering it with silicone to the cabinet door. This method provides a neat seamless look and is easy to clean.
Glass fronts on cabinet doors can really update the look of a room. Glass cabinet fronts look great in kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms and family rooms. You can often have glass panels put into existing cabinets for a fairly reasonable price. You can use clear, patterned or beveled glass depending on the look you are going for, what you will be keeping in the cabinets and your budget.
Some things to consider:
1) Clear glass really shows off the items that are behind the glass, adding lighting inside the cabinet will further amplify the showcase aspect.
2) Patterned glass comes in many varieties and differs in opaqueness, price and style. We stock popular options such a Seedy Antique, New German, Water Glass. This glass can enhance the room design without amplifying the showcase effect. These also look great when lit from the inside.
