Freeport Glass Table Experts
OMG Shower Doors has been Long Island’s go-to glass specialist for over 20 years. We’ve measured and installed custom glass table tops in thousands of Freeport homes, from waterfront properties to cozy family kitchens.
What sets us apart is our obsession with getting measurements right. Too many homeowners have been burned by companies that rush the measuring process, leaving gaps or glass that doesn’t sit properly.
Our team takes detailed measurements, explains thickness options clearly, and provides transparent pricing upfront. No surprises, no pressure tactics. Just straightforward service from people who understand that your furniture matters to you.
Glass Table Top Installation Process
First, we come to your home in Freeport to measure your table precisely. This isn’t a quick tape measure job – we check for any irregularities in your table’s shape and discuss thickness options based on how you use the piece.
Next, your glass is cut to exact specifications using professional equipment. We use tempered glass for safety and durability, with edge options ranging from polished to beveled depending on your style preferences.
Installation is straightforward but crucial. We position the glass carefully, check the fit, and show you proper care techniques. The whole process typically takes 7-10 days from measurement to installation, and you’re left with furniture that looks better and lasts longer.

Glass Table Top Options Available
Long Island homes have unique furniture pieces, and cookie-cutter solutions don’t work. That’s why we offer glass table tops in multiple thicknesses – from 1/4 inch for light protection to 1/2 inch for heavy-use dining tables.
Edge options include polished, beveled, and pencil edges to match your style preferences. We work with round, rectangular, oval, and custom-shaped tables, including antique pieces with unusual dimensions that other companies can’t accommodate.
Freeport’s coastal environment means furniture faces humidity and temperature changes year-round. Our tempered glass handles these conditions without warping or developing stress cracks, unlike cheaper alternatives that fail within months of installation.
What thickness glass do I need for my dining table?
Most dining tables work best with 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch tempered glass. The thickness depends on how much daily use your table gets and the level of protection you want.
For families with young children or heavy daily use, 1/2 inch provides maximum durability against impacts and heavy dishes. If you’re primarily protecting against scratches and light spills, 3/8 inch offers excellent protection at a lower cost.
Coffee tables and side tables typically use 1/4 inch glass since they face lighter use. The key is matching thickness to your specific needs, not just picking the cheapest option and hoping it holds up.
How long does it take to get custom glass table tops?
From measurement to installation, expect 7-10 business days for standard rectangular or round shapes. Custom shapes or specialty edge work may take 10-14 days depending on complexity.
The measurement appointment typically takes 15-20 minutes, and installation is usually completed in under an hour. We schedule installation appointments around your availability, including evenings and weekends when needed.
Rush orders are possible for an additional fee if you need glass sooner for a special event or quick furniture protection. However, proper cutting and tempering can’t be rushed without compromising quality, so plan ahead when possible.
Will the glass scratch or break easily with normal use?
Tempered glass table tops are significantly stronger than regular glass and highly scratch-resistant. They’re designed to handle normal dining activities, including hot dishes, silverware, and daily cleaning without showing wear.
If tempered glass does break (which is rare), it crumbles into small, relatively safe pieces rather than large dangerous shards. This safety feature makes it ideal for homes with children or high-traffic areas.
Proper care extends the life indefinitely – avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface and clean with standard glass cleaners. Most scratches that appear are actually on protective films that can be removed, not the glass itself.
Can you cut glass for antique or unusually shaped tables?
Yes, custom shapes are a specialty. We regularly create glass tops for antique tables, kidney-shaped desks, oval dining tables, and furniture with decorative edges or cutouts for pedestals.
The process involves creating a template of your table’s exact shape, including any irregularities from age or settling. This template ensures the glass fits perfectly without gaps or overhangs that look unprofessional.
Antique furniture often has slight warping or dimensional changes over time. Our measurement process accounts for these variations, creating glass that follows your table’s current shape rather than assuming perfect geometry.
What's the difference between tempered and regular glass for tables?
Tempered glass is heated and cooled rapidly during manufacturing, making it 4-5 times stronger than regular glass. This strength difference is crucial for table applications where impact and thermal stress are common.
Regular glass breaks into large, sharp pieces that can cause serious injury. Tempered glass crumbles into small cubes with dulled edges, significantly reducing injury risk if breakage occurs.
The tempering process also makes the glass more resistant to thermal shock – you can place hot dishes directly on tempered glass without cracking, while regular glass may shatter from sudden temperature changes.
How much do custom glass table tops cost in Freeport?
Pricing depends on size, thickness, edge work, and shape complexity. A standard rectangular dining table top in 3/8 inch thickness typically ranges from $200-400, while larger or thicker pieces cost more.
Custom shapes, beveled edges, and specialty cuts add to the base price. However, transparent pricing means you know the exact cost before any work begins – no surprise charges or hidden fees.
Consider the cost compared to refinishing your table every few years or replacing damaged furniture. Quality glass table tops often pay for themselves by extending your furniture’s life and maintaining its appearance long-term.
