    Custom Glass Table Tops

    Protect and elevate your furniture with custom-cut glass tops. We fabricate glass covers for dining tables, coffee tables, desks, dressers, nightstands, and patio furniture — cut to your exact dimensions with your choice of edge finish.

    Why glass furniture tops?

    • Protect wood, stone, and painted surfaces from scratches, rings, spills, and daily wear
    • Showcase the surface underneath — see the grain, texture, or finish through clear glass
    • Easy to clean — glass surfaces wipe down in seconds compared to porous materials
    • Extend furniture life — a glass top can add years to a cherished piece

    Options available:

    • Clear glass — standard option, lets the furniture finish show through
    • Low-iron (ultra-clear) — eliminates the green tint visible in thicker glass; best for white or light-colored furniture
    • Frosted glass — translucent finish that diffuses visibility while adding a modern aesthetic
    • Tinted glass — available in bronze, gray, and blue-green to complement different interiors
    • Tempered glass — 4–5x stronger than standard glass; recommended for dining tables, desks, and any high-use surface

    Glass thickness options:

    • 1/4" (6mm) — suitable for glass sitting on a full surface (dressers, nightstands)
    • 3/8" (10mm) — standard for dining tables and coffee tables with edge support
    • 1/2" (12mm) — heavy-duty option for tables where the glass IS the tabletop (no wood surface underneath)

    Edge options: flat polish, beveled, pencil, ogee, and bullnose — each creates a different look and feel.

    Custom Glass Shelving

    Display your collections, décor, and art with custom glass shelves that add elegance and visibility to any space.

    Floating Glass Shelves

    Wall-mounted with concealed hardware for a clean, invisible-support look. Available in clear, frosted, and tinted glass with polished or beveled edges.

    Cabinet Glass Shelves

    Replace solid shelves inside display cabinets, china hutches, and curio cases with glass to let light pass through and show contents from every angle. We cut to fit existing shelf supports.

    Bar and Kitchen Shelving

    Open glass shelving for displaying glassware, bottles, and accent pieces. Tempered glass required for areas above countertops and serving areas.

    Commercial Display Shelving

    Retail, showroom, and gallery shelving designed to support product weight while maintaining clean visual lines. Available in standard and tempered glass with various thickness options. See our commercial solutions for business projects.

    Glass Railings

    Glass railing systems provide safety without obstructing views — the modern alternative to wood, iron, or cable railings for both interior and exterior applications.

    Interior Glass Railings

    • Staircase railings — replace spindles and balusters with glass panels for an open, contemporary look
    • Loft and mezzanine railings — maintain sightlines across open floor plans
    • Indoor balcony railings — code-compliant safety barriers that let light flow through

    Exterior Glass Railings

    • Deck railings — preserve views from elevated decks and outdoor living spaces
    • Balcony railings — high-rise and residential balcony barriers in tempered or laminated glass
    • Pool fence panels — safety-rated glass fencing that meets pool barrier codes without blocking visibility

    Glass types for railings:

    • Tempered glass — required by code for most railing applications; 4–5x stronger than standard glass and breaks into small, safe pieces if shattered
    • Laminated glass — two sheets bonded with an interlayer; stays intact if broken, required for certain elevated applications

    Mounting systems:

    • Base shoe (channel) — glass sits in a metal channel at the floor or deck level; cleanest look
    • Standoff (point-fixed) — glass panels attached with decorative metal standoffs
    • Post-mounted — glass panels between vertical posts; most cost-effective option

    All installations meet International Building Code (IBC) and
    local code requirements for height, glass type, and load rating.

    Water Repellant Glass Coating

    Protect your glass investment with a professional hydrophobic coating that repels water, soap scum, hard water minerals, and oils — keeping glass surfaces cleaner with less effort.

    How It Works

    A nano-technology coating bonds to the glass surface at a molecular level, creating an invisible barrier with an extremely high contact angle. Water beads up and rolls off instead of sheeting and leaving mineral deposits behind.

    Where to Apply It

    • Shower doors and enclosures — dramatically reduces soap scum and hard water buildup
    • Glass railings — keeps outdoor glass clear with less cleaning
    • Glass table tops — prevents fingerprints, watermarks, and smudges
    • Windows — reduces water spots from sprinklers and rain
    • Mirrors — prevents fog and moisture buildup in bathrooms

    Benefits

    • Reduces cleaning frequency by 50–70% — treated glass stays cleaner longer
    • Makes cleaning faster — buildup wipes off with water and a cloth instead of harsh chemicals
    • Extends glass life — mineral deposits can etch untreated glass over time; coating prevents this
    • Lasts 3–5 years on shower glass with proper care; reapplication available

    Professional vs. DIY

    Store-bought sprays typically last weeks to months and require frequent reapplication. Professional-grade coatings applied by our technicians bond to the glass surface and last years — a one-time investment that saves hours of cleaning over its lifespan.

    Custom Glass Tops, Shelving, Railings & Coating FAQs

    Standard clear glass tops range from $50–$200 for small pieces (nightstand, end table) and $150–$500 for dining table and desk sizes. Low-iron, tempered, and thicker options cost more. We provide exact pricing after measurement.
    For glass sitting on a full surface (dresser, nightstand), 1/4" is sufficient. For dining tables and coffee tables with edge support, 3/8" is standard. For glass-only tabletops with no wood surface underneath, 1/2" tempered is recommended for strength and stability.
    Yes. Glass railings use tempered or laminated safety glass that meets International Building Code (IBC) standards. Tempered glass is 4–5x stronger than regular glass and breaks into small, blunt pieces if shattered. Laminated glass stays intact even when broken.
    Professional-grade hydrophobic coatings last 3–5 years on shower glass with normal use. Exterior applications may require reapplication sooner depending on weather exposure. We offer reapplication service when needed.
