Our Glass Shelving Process
Consultation and Measurement
We start by understanding your needs. We'll discuss placement, style, and function, then take precise measurements of your space to ensure a perfect fit.
Custom Fabrication
Your shelves are cut to your exact specifications from high-quality glass. We then temper the glass for strength and safety and apply your chosen edge finish for a clean, polished look.
Professional Installation
Our expert technicians install your new glass shelves securely, using the appropriate hardware for a stable and beautiful result that enhances your room.

Glass Thickness
Select from 1/4", 3/8", or 1/2" thickness based on your strength and aesthetic needs.

Options include standard clear, low-iron (ultra-clear), frosted, or tinted glass.
Edge Work
We offer several finishes, including flat polish, pencil polish, and beveled edges.
Mounting Style
Choose from traditional brackets or modern 'floating' shelf hardware for a seamless look.

Glass Shelving FAQs
A properly installed ¼-inch tempered glass shelf can hold 30-40 pounds evenly distributed. Go with ⅜-inch thick glass and you're looking at 50-70 pounds. We don't do guesswork here — when you call us, let's see if your project needs standard thickness or if we should bump it up. The bracket spacing and wall anchors matter just as much as the glass thickness. Your glass guys will walk you through the weight limits based on your specific setup.
Regular glass breaks into sharp, dangerous pieces. Tempered glass breaks into small, relatively safe chunks — that's why building codes require it for shelving in most areas. Tempered glass is also about four times stronger than regular glass. We use tempered glass for all our shelving projects. No surprises, no shortcuts. It costs a bit more upfront, but it's the honest alternative to cutting corners on safety.
Absolutely. Corner shelves, curved edges, notches around pipes — we cut glass to fit your space exactly. We template everything first to make sure the measurements are spot-on. Can't modify tempered glass after it's made, so we get it right the first time. Bring us your measurements or let's see if we need to come out and template it ourselves.
Standard rectangular shelves take 3-5 business days. Custom shapes or corner pieces usually run 5-7 days. We don't rush the tempering process — it has to be done right for safety. When you call us, we'll give you an honest timeline based on our current workload. No salesy promises we can't keep. We follow through when we say it'll be ready.
Glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth work best. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough paper towels — they can scratch the surface over time. Check the bracket screws every few months to make sure they're still tight. That's it. Glass shelving is pretty low-maintenance once it's installed properly. We'll show you the best cleaning technique when we install your shelves.
