it?

2. Why are
your prices so low? Do you offer installation?
All we do is supply glass. We can offer limited advise, but we are not contractors, and we do not install glass. If you are unsure of what you need, you should contact a glass contractor for specific information.
3. Why does
glass have a greenish
tint?
The greenish tint
is typical of all
glass in the furniture
industry. It is caused
by minerals in the
manufacturing process.
Even though it has
a slight tint, it is
known as clear glass.
If less color is desired,
low iron glass
should be considered.

Yes, just call or
email us with your
requests.
5. Do you make sizes (custom shapes) other than what are listed?
We can custom fabricate glass to your specifications, but you must supply us with an exact cut-out/template of the pattern in order for us to make it. Contact us to discuss what you need, and we will probably be able to make it for you.
6. What are
your tolerances?
Please remember all our items may have a variance in the actual size ordered. In most cases the tolerance for 3/8" and 1/2" thick glass is + or – 1/4", and for 3/4" thick glass it is + or - 3/8". Custom fabricated glass tolerances are + or – 1/8".
7. Will the
edges be sharp?
Generally no. Please
refer to our
edge chart for
specifics about edges.
8. Will the
corners be rounded?
All stock items have
rounded corners. Generally
it is the same radius
as the thickness of
the glass. For example,
a 3/8" thick top will
have a 3/8" radius
corner. However, all
custom made pieces
will have square corners
unless you specify
differently.
9. What is
tempered glass?
Tempering is a process
that hardens the glass
so that if it breaks
it shatters into very
small pieces. In some
applications, such
as for use in a bathroom,
the glass must be
tempered.
Table tops are not
generally tempered.
It is your responsibility
to know if tempering
is required to meet
codes.

We will help load and secure the glass in your vehicle. Make sure the sizes ordered will fit before coming down. Generally custom cut items are not wrapped, but stock table tops are packed in cardboard.
11. Can delivery be arranged?
If the glass will not fit in your vehicle or it is too much for you to handle, local delivery is available on orders over $200. Delivery charges start at $65 but may be more depending on size, weight, and location.
