Custom Glass Table Covers Brookhaven
You’ll never worry about placing a hot dish or spilled wine again. Your wood furniture stays pristine underneath while the glass surface handles everything life throws at it.
Tempered glass is four times stronger than regular glass, so it won’t crack under pressure. It resists scratches from daily use and cleans up with just a quick wipe.
The transparency means your beautiful table still shows through, but now it’s protected from sun damage that fades wood over time. No more coasters, placemats, or constant stress about ruining expensive furniture.
Brookhaven Glass Table Top Specialists
We’ve spent over two decades perfecting custom glass solutions across Nassau and Suffolk County. We’re the company Brookhaven homeowners call when precision matters.
Our team brings more than 30 years of combined experience to every project. From the Hamptons’ most exclusive homes to everyday family dining rooms, we’ve measured, cut, and installed thousands of glass table tops.
What sets us apart is understanding that every table is different. We don’t guess at measurements or settle for “close enough.” Every piece is custom cut to your exact specifications, with edges polished smooth for safety.
Glass Table Top Installation Process
First, we come to your home for precise measurements. No guessing, no “standard sizes” that don’t quite fit. We measure your table exactly and discuss thickness options, edge styles, and glass types.
Within 24 hours, you’ll have a detailed quote. Once approved, your glass goes into production using computerized cutting tables for perfect accuracy.
Installation happens fast. We arrive with your custom-cut glass, polished edges, and all necessary hardware. We position it carefully, ensure it sits perfectly, and clean everything before we leave. Most installations take under an hour, and you’re using your protected table the same day.

Brookhaven Custom Glass Options
We create glass table tops in any shape you need. Round, rectangular, oval, hexagon, or completely custom cuts with notches for table legs. No size or angle is off limits.
Glass thickness ranges from 1/4 inch for light protection to 3/4 inch for heavy-duty dining tables. Edge options include flat polished, pencil polished, or beveled edges for both safety and style.
Brookhaven homeowners particularly appreciate the UV-protective tinted glass options. Long Island’s sun can fade expensive wood furniture, but tinted glass blocks harmful rays while maintaining clarity. Clear tempered glass remains the most popular choice for its strength and invisible protection. Every piece meets safety glass standards, shattering into small, dull pieces if broken rather than dangerous shards.
How thick should my glass table top be?
Thickness depends on your table’s use and size. For light protection on coffee tables or side tables, 1/4 inch tempered glass works perfectly.
Dining tables that see daily use need 3/8 inch minimum. Heavy-duty family tables or large conference tables perform best with 1/2 inch thickness. Tables over 48 inches long or those supporting heavy items should use 3/4 inch glass.
The thicker the glass, the more substantial it looks and feels. But even 1/4 inch tempered glass is four times stronger than regular glass, so it’s not about weakness—it’s about matching the right thickness to how you’ll use the table.
Can you cut glass to fit my oddly-shaped table?
Yes, absolutely. We cut glass in virtually any shape—round, oval, rectangular, hexagon, octagon, or completely irregular shapes with custom notches and cutouts.
We use computerized cutting tables that can reproduce any pattern or template you provide. Whether your table has curved edges, angled corners, or cutouts for pedestals, we’ll create glass that fits exactly.
Our team brings templates and measuring tools to capture even the most complex shapes. If your existing glass isn’t broken, we can use it as a precise pattern. For antique or custom furniture, we take extra time ensuring the new glass complements the original design perfectly.
Will tempered glass break if something heavy falls on it?
Tempered glass is designed to handle significant impact. It’s four to five times stronger than regular glass and resists breaking from normal household accidents.
If it does break under extreme force, tempered glass shatters into small, dull cubes instead of sharp, dangerous shards. This makes it much safer around children and pets compared to regular glass.
Most daily impacts—dropped dishes, heavy books, even standing on the glass—won’t cause damage. The tempering process creates internal stress that actually makes the glass stronger. You’d need significant force, like a hammer blow, to break properly installed tempered glass table tops.
How do I clean and maintain my glass table top?
Glass table tops are incredibly easy to maintain. Regular window cleaner and a microfiber cloth handle most cleaning. For daily maintenance, just water and a soft cloth work perfectly.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough materials that could scratch the surface. While tempered glass resists scratches, it’s not scratch-proof. Use soft pads or rubber bumpers under decorative items to prevent direct contact.
For stubborn spots, white vinegar mixed with water cuts through residue without damaging the glass. The smooth surface means spills wipe away easily, and you don’t need special treatments or conditioners like wood furniture requires.
How long does the installation process take?
From initial consultation to final installation, most projects complete within two weeks. The measuring appointment takes about 30 minutes, and you’ll have a quote within 24 hours.
Production time depends on complexity, but standard shapes typically take 7-10 business days. Custom cuts or special edge treatments may add a few days.
Installation itself is quick—usually under an hour for most table tops. We arrive with your finished glass, position it carefully, and ensure perfect fit before cleaning up. You’re using your protected table the same day we install it.
Do you offer different glass types besides clear?
Yes, we offer multiple glass options to match your style and needs. Clear tempered glass is most popular for its invisible protection and maximum light transmission.
Tinted options include gray, bronze, and frosted glass. Tinted glass helps block UV rays that can fade wood furniture over time while adding subtle color. Frosted glass provides privacy and hides fingerprints better than clear glass.
Low-iron glass offers ultra-clear appearance without the slight green tint of standard glass. This works especially well over antique wood or when you want the purest possible transparency. Each type comes with the same strength and safety benefits of tempered glass construction.
