How you are going to use your glass table top will dictate the glass edge finishes that you use. Also, your edges will look slightly different on round table tops and square or rectangle tops, and even a little different depending on the corners that you choose. Below are some of the most common edge types.
Beveled Edge
Beveled edges are finished to be thinner at the edges. You can choose the width of the bevel you want when you are customizing your glass.
Flat Polished Edge
Flat polished edges are ground down to be smooth and safe for you to use anywhere. Works well when glass is inset in a frame.
Pencil Polished Edge
Pencil polished edges are rounded for safety and a beautiful look. Looks especially nice when used as a surface protector or glass table cover.
Seamed Edge
A seamed edge is sanded off lightly for when you need minimal finishing. Choose this type when you won’t see the edges of the glass.
Choose from 4 glass thicknesses for your convenience.

| Thickness 3/16": | This size is suitable for light applications like table covers. |
|---|---|
| Thickness 1/4": | This size is suitable for glass table covers and some glass that fits inside a frame or inset. |
| Thickness 3/8": | This glass is suitable for use as a glass table cover or when the glass sits on a pedestal. |
| Thickness 1/2": | The thickest glass available; suitable for heavy-duty applications and when the glass sits on a pedestal. |
It’s best to choose tempered glass for any kind of glass table top. Tempering means that the glass has been heat treated and cooled for extra durability. If a tempered glass table top is struck or broken, it will shatter into small, harmless pieces rather than large, sharp shards of glass. For a glass table cover, you wouldn't really need to choose tempered glass, but it does add an extra layer of safety in case you were to drop something on your table.
For square and rectangle table tops, you have the additional consideration of what type of corner finish you would like. Below are the three corner finishes we offer.
Eased Corners
A simple eased corner is polished for safety and comfort. Our most popular corner option. You can choose which corners you would like to have this look.
Radius Corners
A radius corner can be used when covering a table that has similar corners, or when the glass is on a pedestal. You can choose the radius measurements and which corners you want to have this finish. Not available for beveled edges.
Clip and Polished Corners
This corner type can be used if you have a pedestal table and desire a decorative finish. You can customize the clip measurement and which corners you would like to be clipped.
Measuring the size of your glass table top is easy. If you are replacing a broken piece, simply order the dimensions you had before if you know them. You can make an approximate guess; most pedestals will support a bit smaller or larger than the original glass. If you are ordering a glass table cover to protect the surface of an existing table, simply measure the length and width, for squares or rectangles. For round tables, measure through the exact center of the table to get the diameter, which is all you need.
If you have glass that sits in a metal or other type of frame, like an inset, you will need to measure carefully. Glass is cut to a 1/8” tolerance, meaning it will be exact or up to ?” larger or smaller than your exact measurements. Make sure the frame is straight and that you are measuring carefully as custom glass cannot be returned.

A glass table top is glass that sits on a pedestal or in a frame. A glass table cover (also called a glass furniture protector) is glass that sits on the surface of an existing table, such as on an antique desk, a countertop, a vanity or any other surface you’d like to protect.
Glass table covers are a wonderful way to protecting valuable or antique furniture without hiding its beauty. With a protective glass table cover, your wood, marble or metal table's surface is safe from spills, stains, dings and scratches. No need for placemats or tablecloths – you can put hot casserole dishes or cups of coffee on the table without worrying they'll harm your table's finish.
No waxing or polishing – glass table covers wipe clean so much easier than wood or marble finishes. With their transparent surface and custom fit, glass table covers won't detract from the impact of your table while they keep it clean and hygienic.
This really depends on what you are using the table top for. For a glass table cover, you might choose a 1/4"-thick glass. For a pedestal table, where the glass is the surface of the table, you may want to select thicker glass, like 3/8" or 1/2" glass. Keep in mind that the thicker glass can get very heavy. Check our our glass thickness guide here.
A custom glass table top takes between 5 and 7 business days to fabricate at our facility. It will be shipped to your home, free of charge, after we finish fabricating it. FedEx shipping can take between 1 and 5 business days. You will receive a tracking number to track your order once it is shipped.
If you have a glass table top you are using for a dining table, make sure you use a trivet when you are putting anything hot on the table. Very high temperatures can make a glass table top crack, but glass can withstand normal heat if used with trivets or hot pads.
The answer to this really depends on the size of the pedestal you are using for your glass. The pedestal has to be big enough to support the weight of the table and supportive enough that a too-large piece of glass won’t tip. If you’re looking for guidance on table sizes, have a look at our dining room table size guide here.
You can order glass desk bumpers to put between the glass and the surface of your table for an added level of protection.
Clipped corners are corners that have been cut off at a 45-degree angle and polished for safety. If you are purchasing a glass table cover and need an exact match to a table you have, you’ll want to make sure you measure properly. Please visit our guide on clipped corners here.
Radius corners are curved around to a certain angle and width. If you are purchasing a glass table cover and the table you are covering has radius corners, you will need to make sure that you get a glass cover that will fit perfectly. Please visit our guide on radius corners here.
