Glass Table Top Installation Process
First, we come to your Franklin Square home and measure everything precisely. No guesswork, no “close enough” measurements that leave gaps or overhangs.

Durable Glass Table Covers Franklin Square
Franklin Square’s varying weather conditions mean your glass needs to handle everything from humid summers to cold winters without warping or losing clarity. We use tempered glass that’s specifically designed for Long Island’s climate.
You get multiple edge options – flat polished for modern spaces, beveled for traditional décor, or pencil-polished for a refined look. Glass thickness ranges from quarter-inch protective covers to substantial half-inch tabletops that serve as the actual surface.
Color options include crystal clear, low-iron ultra-clear that eliminates the green tint, frosted for privacy, and tinted glass in bronze or gray. Franklin Square homeowners often choose ultra-clear for showcasing beautiful wood grain underneath, or frosted glass for hiding imperfections in older furniture.
How thick should my glass table top be for daily use?
Glass thickness depends on how you’re using it. If you’re adding a protective cover over an existing table, quarter-inch tempered glass works perfectly and keeps the weight manageable.
For actual tabletops where the glass serves as the surface, you’ll want three-eighths inch or half-inch thickness. Thicker glass has a more substantial feel and can handle heavier items without flexing.
The sweet spot for most Franklin Square dining tables is three-eighths inch – thick enough to feel solid, light enough that moving the table doesn’t require a team effort.
What's the difference between tempered and regular glass for tables?
Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than regular glass and handles heat much better. If you place a hot dish directly on tempered glass, it won’t crack from thermal shock.
The real safety difference shows if the glass ever breaks. Regular glass creates dangerous sharp shards that can cause serious injuries. Tempered glass crumbles into small, relatively harmless cubes.
For table tops, especially in homes with kids, tempered glass isn’t just recommended – it’s the only smart choice. It costs slightly more upfront but eliminates the safety risks that come with regular glass.
Can you cut glass to fit unusual table shapes?
Yes, we create custom glass for any shape – round, oval, square, rectangular, or completely irregular designs. The key is getting precise measurements of your existing table.
For complex shapes, we can work from templates or detailed measurements you provide. Some customers trace the table edge on paper, others provide length and width measurements with corner details.
We’ve cut glass for antique tables, modern geometric designs, and everything in between. If your table has an unusual base or requires cutouts for umbrellas or hardware, we handle those details during the fabrication process.
How do you keep glass table tops from sliding around?
Professional installation includes proper mounting solutions that keep your glass securely in place without permanent attachment to the base. We use clear bumpers or mounting hardware that’s virtually invisible.
For protective glass covers, small clear dots placed strategically around the edges prevent sliding while remaining completely hidden. For tabletops that replace the original surface, we secure the glass to the base using appropriate hardware.
The goal is glass that stays exactly where it belongs without rattling, sliding, or requiring constant adjustment. Proper installation means you never think about the mounting system – it just works.
What edge styles work best for different décor?
Flat polished edges give you clean, modern lines that work perfectly with contemporary furniture. The smooth, straight edge feels substantial without being decorative.
Beveled edges add elegance and work beautifully with traditional or transitional décor. The angled cut catches light and creates visual interest without overwhelming the space.
Pencil-polished edges offer a refined, rounded look that’s safe for high-traffic areas. This style works well when you want sophistication without the formality of a beveled edge.
How long does it take to get a custom glass table top?
Most custom glass table tops are completed within one to two weeks from final measurements. Simple shapes and standard thicknesses move faster, while complex designs or special features may take slightly longer.
OMG Shower Doors has the fastest turnaround time in the industry because we handle everything in-house. No waiting for outside vendors or dealing with multiple companies that slow down the process.
We’ll give you an exact timeline when we measure your table. Franklin Square customers typically see their glass delivered and installed within two weeks of the initial consultation, often sooner for standard rectangular or round tops.
