What is a glazier?
A glazier is a person trained to install any glass product and architectural metal. To put glass in a fame is to "glaze" the window, hence the name glazier. Our glaziers have completed a three-year apprenticeship training program and are members of Glazier Local 1164.

Will you cut glass supplied by customers?
Yes, as long as it isn't tempered glass. However, this is done at your own risk. We do not accept responsibility for glass breakage due to cutting.

Why can't you cut tempered glass?
Tempering of glass is done for safety. When tempered glass breaks or someone attempts to cut it, the glass breaks into many small pieces with dull edges. This is what makes it safety glass. All cutting and edge work is done to glass before it goes through the tempering ovens. Tempered glass cannot be cut by anyone.

Can you cut holes in mirrors or glass tabletops?
Yes, we can. We have various sized diamond glass drill bits to drill holes in glass. These are cut for many different reasons, such as power cords, electrical outlets, lighting fixtures, etc.

How do I order a tabletop?
We need to know the width and length and thickness of glass. The most common thickness is 1/4 " or 3/8". If the table is small enough for you to bring here, then we can get a tight fit for the glass. If that is not possible, then make a pattern on paper to bring to us. Even if the table is square or rectangular with round corners, we will need a pattern of the corner.
