Glass table tops cut to size

Glass table tops cut to size: design and installation choices

Replace a dining or coffee-table top, or create a new glass surface with the support, edges and shape recorded for your supplier.

A made-to-measure glass table top can be the working surface itself or a protective cover over wood. Describe which role it serves before selecting its appearance and thickness.

Clear, low-iron and tinted glass create different edge colours and views of the base below. Agree a sample where a colour match matters, and retain mats for hot cookware.

Measurement reference

Enter the finished glass width and length. For an oval, rake or irregular perimeter, choose drawing to follow and give its enclosing dimensions.

Budget and optional extras

Large, shaped or heavily processed tops can fall outside the listed retail range.

Published prices on the main page state their reference size, supply or fitting scope, VAT basis and source. Add-ons are individually requested in the configurator and need separate supplier pricing.

Glass table tops cut to size for your project

Common enquiry briefs include dining table, coffee / side table, outdoor table, replacement furniture glass. Describe the intended use and the supporting construction so the supplier can assess the complete specification. Different applications can need different glass processing, fixings and installation details.

A protector or a spanning top?

A solid table beneath a glass cover supports it differently from individual legs. Record the contact points and the distance between them.

Keep the perimeter comfortable

Polished edges, rounded corners and a well-fitted outline affect everyday use. Templates help where existing furniture is irregular.

What to include in a made-to-measure quote

Compare quotes using the same dimensions, quantities, finish, glass construction and installation scope. If you have a drawing or an existing specification, include its reference and identify which details still need advice.

• How is the glass supported?: A fully supported protector and a top spanning between legs need different assessment.
• Thickness request: The support, span and loads determine the final thickness.
• Glass appearance: Ask for a physical sample where colour or privacy matters.
• Edge finish: Identify exposed and concealed edges on the drawing.
• Corner treatment: Give the radius or template reference in the notes.
• Holes, notches and templates: Give counts, positions and drawing references in the notes. Agree all processing before toughening.
• Spacer pads / protection: Use compatible pads and avoid hard contact between glass and furniture.
• Easy-clean coating: Request care instructions for the selected coating.
• What should the quote include?: Ask suppliers to itemise delivery, measurement and fitting separately.

Cut-to-size dimensions, edges and fabrication

Measure the finished glass only when the fitting allowances and support details are known. Otherwise identify the opening or existing panel you measured and request a survey. Give each different size its own basket line, with its quantity and drawing reference.

Holes, cut-outs, shaped edges and interfaces with hardware should be settled before manufacture. The finished glass construction and any coatings must suit the intended environment. A screen preview or concept photograph cannot replace a sample, survey or product-specific installation drawing.

Supplier checks before manufacture

• Confirm overhangs, bearing points and any load requirements; a chosen thickness is a request, not a load rating.
• The supplier must agree the final sizes, construction and compatible fittings before manufacture.
• Confirm survey, packaging, delivery, access and installation responsibilities in the written quote.

Requesting comparable glass quotes

Save the choices you know and ask for help with the rest. The quote basket records a specification request rather than placing a manufacturing order. A firm quote needs an agreed final build, dimensions, delivery arrangements and any installation or design work.

When comparing proposals, check that glass-only supply and supply with fitting cover the same scope. Ask who provides measurement, drawings, supports, compatible hardware, lifting access and finishing work. Keep the final approved specification with the order.
