From request to production
A quote is more than a price per square foot.
Intended use, fabrication, handling, packaging, and delivery all influence whether a custom glass project is practical. We review those details before asking you to approve an order.
We confirm manufacturability
Cutting, edge work, corner preparation, holes, and other fabrication must be completed before tempering. Some designs require adjustment to maintain production tolerances and safe handling.
We evaluate delivery
Panel size, packed weight, destination type, access, and carrier limits determine whether parcel, freight, local delivery, or another arrangement is appropriate.
You approve before production
The quote identifies the accepted specifications, price, estimated timing, and delivery assumptions. Production begins only after the order and required payment are confirmed.
One material, many applications
Custom glass beyond the standard GlassMat.
Standard GlassMat sizes serve common chair movement zones, but custom fabrication allows the finished panel to respond to a specific room, desk, or working arrangement. A custom chair mat may be appropriate for an executive workstation, an unusually wide desk, a shared office, or an area where standard dimensions leave casters outside the supported surface.
Tempered glass can also be considered for desk protection, tabletop covers, shelves, equipment surfaces, and other applications where a clean, nonporous panel is useful. Each application introduces different support, edge, corner, thickness, load, and handling requirements. A specification that works as a chair mat should not automatically be assumed suitable for furniture or structural use.
Describe how the panel will be supported, what will contact it, whether people will lean or stand near it, and how the finished piece must be delivered and installed. Those details help determine whether we can quote the project as requested or should recommend a different configuration.
Measure before requesting
Tempered glass cannot be resized after production.
Submit finished dimensions, not rough opening dimensions. Measure in more than one location when the panel must fit between walls, cabinetry, desk legs, or fixed equipment because rooms and furniture are not always perfectly square. Note the smallest available clearance and identify any object that could contact an edge.
For a GlassMat, map the full movement of the chair rather than measuring only the desk opening. For a tabletop or desk protector, specify whether the glass should align with the surface, stop short of the perimeter, or extend beyond it. Include the location and dimensions of any requested holes or openings, but do not assume every cutout is appropriate for tempered glass.
Use a sketch when orientation could be misunderstood. Label width, length, front, back, finish side, corner radii, openings, and nearby obstructions. We may request a photograph or dimensioned drawing before finalizing the quote. Customers remain responsible for confirming final measurements and site conditions.
Specification guide
The choices that shape the finished piece.
Clear or bronze
Clear preserves the appearance of the surface below and has a natural blue-green edge line. Bronze adds a transparent warm tint. Lighting, surrounding materials, and screen calibration affect perceived color.
Edge preparation
Flat polishing creates a clean finished perimeter and is the standard direction for most GlassMats. Mini-bevel and wider beveled profiles may be reviewed when the application and available fabrication support them.
Corner profile
Radius corners soften projecting points and are preferred for chair surfaces and exposed floor-level panels. Square corners may suit supported furniture applications but still require appropriate edge preparation.
Thickness and support
Thickness cannot be selected by appearance alone. Panel dimensions, intended load, support pattern, use, and fabrication details must be considered together. We may recommend a different specification after review.
Featured edge finishes
Choose the finish that fits the application.
Edge work changes the appearance, feel, fabrication requirements, and price of a custom panel. These four profiles cover the majority of practical and decorative requests.
Seamed
The most economical preparation for a concealed or utility edge. It is sanded to remove sharpness but may remain visibly matte, slightly rough, or minimally chipped.
Best considered for: Edges hidden by framing, channels, gaskets, or other finished assemblies.
Flat polish
A glossy, machine-polished flat edge with small chamfers along the top and bottom. Its crisp profile highlights the glass thickness without adding an ornate shape.
Best considered for: GlassMats, desk pads, tabletops, shelves, and exposed furniture glass.
Pencil polish
A rounded edge with a smooth, glossy finish. The softer profile gives exposed glass a refined furniture-style appearance and comfortable visual transition.
Best considered for: Premium tabletops, desk pads, shelves, and exposed decorative edges.
Beveled edge
An angled, polished border that catches light and makes the perimeter a deliberate design feature. Bevel width is confirmed during quote review.
Best considered for: Decorative tabletops, furniture protectors, displays, and statement pieces.
Additional fabrication
Looking for another profile?
Miter, back-miter, partial bullnose, full bullnose, ogee, and other specialty edge work may be available for qualifying thicknesses and applications. Contact us with the panel dimensions, thickness, quantity, and intended use so the manufacturer can review the request.

A check mark indicates a confirmed processing capability for that nominal thickness. It does not guarantee suitability for every panel. Heating-appliance projects require application-specific glass and manufacturer review; ordinary tempered glass should not be assumed suitable.
Production and delivery
The destination is part of the specification.
Large glass panels require more than a shipping label. Packaging must protect the faces, edges, and corners while controlling movement and compression in transit. The panel size and packed weight also determine which carriers and service levels are available.
Residential freight may involve a scheduled appointment and curbside delivery rather than placement inside the home. Commercial destinations should identify loading access, receiving hours, dock or liftgate needs, and any site restrictions. Stairs, narrow doors, elevators, tight turns, and long carrying distances should be considered before ordering.
Shipping options and charges are quoted according to the accepted project and destination. Inspect delivered packaging and glass according to the provided instructions, document visible damage promptly, and retain the packaging until the shipment is confirmed in good condition.
Before you submit
Custom glass questions
Answers to common questions about quotes, fabrication, changes, delivery, and custom-order expectations.
Does submitting the form place an order?
No. The form creates an inquiry only. It does not charge a payment method, reserve production capacity, or authorize fabrication. An order exists only after the specifications, pricing, terms, and payment requirements are confirmed through the approved sales process.
Can I change dimensions after approving the order?
Contact us immediately, but do not assume a change is possible. Cutting, edge work, corner preparation, holes, and other fabrication occur before tempering. Once production has started, changes may require a new panel and additional charges. Tempered glass cannot be cut or resized afterward.
Can you quote from a photograph alone?
A photograph helps explain the application but cannot replace finished dimensions and support details. We may use photographs to identify obstructions, flooring, furniture, access, or orientation. Final measurements must be clearly stated and approved before production.
Are custom orders returnable?
Custom products are made to approved specifications and generally require terms different from standard stocked products. The applicable cancellation, return, damage, and warranty conditions should be reviewed in the written quote before approval. Do not rely on the standard-product return policy for a custom order.
Can you make glass with holes, notches, or unusual shapes?
Some fabrication may be possible, but every request requires review. Hole diameter, edge distance, corner geometry, overall dimensions, support, and intended use affect manufacturability. Submit a dimensioned drawing when possible. We may decline or revise details that are unsuitable for tempering, handling, or the application.
Do you offer volume or commercial pricing?
Quantity is considered during quote review. Provide the total number of panels, whether every piece is identical, delivery schedule, destination or multiple destinations, packaging requirements, and whether the project is residential, commercial, wholesale, or resale. Larger quantities may require production scheduling and freight planning.
Why is the delivery ZIP code required before pricing?
Custom glass cannot be priced accurately without considering transportation. Distance, panel dimensions, packed weight, service area, residential or commercial access, liftgate requirements, appointment service, and carrier availability can materially affect the delivered cost. The ZIP code allows us to evaluate realistic shipping options instead of providing a glass-only estimate that changes substantially later.
