Tempered glass is a type of safety glass regularly used in applications in which standard glass could pose a potential danger. Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than standard glass and does not break into large shards when broken. Tempered glass is manufactured through a process of extreme heating and rapid cooling, making it harder than normal glass.
The brittle nature of tempered glass causes it to shatter into small oval-shaped pebbles when broken. This eliminates the danger of sharp edges. Due to this property, along with its strength, tempered glass is often referred to as safety glass. The thermal process that cures tempered glass also makes it heat resistant. Tempered glass can be used in any situation where there is a danger of the glass breaking due to impact or extreme heat.

An easy and pleasant transaction all around. Super product and super fast shipping. Will do business with again. Thanks for the great service.
top quality piece, and I was very surprised and pleased at how well it was packaged for shipping
The local glass shops were quoting me $110 to $140 without delivery. I obtained a high quality piece of glass that makes my table look great from Dulles in Virginia with delivery for around $60. What's not to love?
Arrived as-promised and in a timely fashion.
I wanted replacement glass for my newly updated fireplace. I was able to determine the right type of glass I needed with the detailed information about each glass type right from the website. It was very easy to choose glass type, size and color and place the order as well. I received the package within a few days, I was impressed with the way it was packed, no way it would arrive damaged with the care and technique used to box it. Great resource for the DIY'er.
happy with the glass and fast service. With standard shipping the glass arrived 7 days from the internet order. The glass was packed in the best packaging I ever seen for breakables. Would buy from again.
Nice and inconspicuous.
searching for a 30 yr. old stove glass dulles came through , sizing was right on the mark . nicely finished edges. from order to delivery in three days definitly will use them again.
Perfect, exactly as ordered and looks great on my end table.
I recieved the mirror earlier than predicted, and everything was fine with it. The bevel was correct and it looks very nice. Thanks for a quality product!
The item arrived within a few days intact and looks great.
I ordered two custom pieces, they are perfect, they arrived quickly!
Easy online ordering, competitive pricing, fast delivery & quality product. I'm very pleased.
I have placed two orders with Dulles Glass and I was really happily surprised with the quality of the service, glass and the safe packing of the orders. This tells me the care about their customers and I can rely on them for all my future custom glass orders. Thank you Dulles Glass!
So glad I found you guys. Glass came out perfectly and the way your website is set up it made it easy and clear.
The piece perfectly fit our small, round table top. Wonderful work.
The desktop glass arrived in perfect condition and just as ordered. Your packaging is excellent. Thanks.
Received the 12" x 41" - 1/4" thick low iron glass in excellent condition. Packaged like a pro. Everything from edging, corners and size was as ordered. I emailed a question regarding rubber/plastic spacers for under the glass and was answered quickly. Spacers were in the packaging. The narrow cabinet that this glass protects is next to our entrance door. The cabinet top gets a lot of keys, groceries, etc placed on top. The glass top protects like a charm....
When I first went on Dulles Glass & Mirror website, I thought, how will I know their technical terms as far as how I want the glass top to look. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that they explained everything out in great detail. I, therefore, ordered a glass top for my end table base. When I received it about 9 days later(this included time to have it made up)I saw that it was so well packed, that the only way it could break, was if an elephant sat on it. When I got it open, it was exactly the way I wanted it, to a T. I took the old glass off the end table and put the new one on right away. I love the way it looks. If, in the future, I need any more glass tops, I will use Dulles Glass & Mirror. They are reliable, with a speedy delivery time, and easy to use web-site. I highly recommend them. I am so satisfied. Thank you!
I placed an order online on Wednesday evening, and had it in my hand in perfect order by Saturday afternoon. That is with a custom size and a price considerable less than local sources.
I was impressed on how fast and accurate my order was. The glass packaging was excellent. I will shop here again if I need another item of glass. Thank You Dulles!
Fast shipping and great quality work
Ordered a custom tempered glass for a wine cellar window. Was easy to order desired glass size online and the delivery was done in reasonable fashion. Thank you. Raul
This tempered, etched, 20 x 20 glass is just what I needed to grind paints, something I haven't done for 25 years. I saved money and a lot of aggravation by using Dulles instead of the closest vendor to me which is difficult to get to because Baltimore is preparing for a stupid Grand Pris Roadrace and making everyone's driving and traffic experience unbelievably unpredictable and annoying.
Ordered a replacement glass top and received it within 10 days! Great service and the new glass top is thicker than the one that broke. I'll definately be coming back in the future to order a glass top for my coffee & dinning room table!
Wonderful product, delivered to customer specifications. fast service, and great care in packaging. thank you
I ordered on line and everything was wonderful. I was kept updated as to the progress and also was sent an e-mail when my item shipped. The measurements were precise and exactly what I ordered. I just love my new tabletop! I would recommend Dulles to everybody I know!

I ordered a custom-cut piece of tempered glass, and it arrived,as promised, about a week later. The glass is now on my table, fitting perfectly.
This is one great company to work with. My order was completed quickly, accurately and packaged with great care. The quality of their products is second to none. I would not hesitate to recommend Dulles Glass & Mirror, and will definitely use them for all my future glass needs!

My order was easy to place online and shipped in less than a week. It came very well packaged and was not damaged at all. Exactly what I ordered!
The price for what I wanted was great. When the glass top came, it was well packaged and fit to the exact dimensions I requested and the glass edges are perfect. I would definitely order again from Dulles. Thanks for everything.
