Long Island Glass Experts
OMG Shower Doors has been Long Island’s go-to custom glass provider for over twenty years. We’ve earned our reputation one project at a time—from protecting family heirlooms in Jericho homes to crafting conference table tops for local businesses.
What sets us apart isn’t just experience. It’s the attention to detail that comes from understanding what you’re really asking for when you need custom glass. We know you’re not just buying a piece of glass—you’re protecting something valuable while keeping it beautiful.
Better Business Bureau certified and trusted by the Hamptons’ finest homes, we bring the same precision to every table top, whether it’s a small side table or a large dining room centerpiece.
Glass Table Top Process
The process starts with precision measuring. We come to you, measure your table exactly, and discuss thickness options, edge styles, and any special requirements like rounded corners or cutouts.
Next comes fabrication. Using your exact measurements, we cut tempered safety glass that’s four to five times stronger than regular glass. Every edge gets professionally polished for safety and appearance.
Installation is straightforward. We deliver your custom glass table top and position it perfectly on your furniture. Protective pads go underneath to prevent scratching and ensure the glass stays exactly where it should. The whole process typically takes one to two weeks from measurement to installation.

Tempered Glass Table Options
Thickness matters. Quarter-inch glass works perfectly for protecting existing table surfaces. Half-inch thickness handles daily dining use. Three-quarter-inch glass creates substantial, commercial-grade surfaces that make a statement.
Edge options include polished smooth edges for safety, beveled edges for elegance, or flat polished edges for a clean, modern look. Round tables, rectangular surfaces, oval shapes, or completely custom cuts—all precisely fabricated to your specifications.
In Jericho’s climate, tempered glass makes sense. It handles temperature changes without stress, resists scratches from daily use, and if it ever does break, it crumbles into small, safe pieces instead of dangerous shards. For families with children or active households, that safety factor alone makes the investment worthwhile.
What thickness glass table top do I need for my dining table?
For most dining tables, half-inch tempered glass provides the ideal balance of durability and appearance. It’s substantial enough to handle daily use—plates, serving dishes, even the occasional dropped utensil—without feeling flimsy.
Quarter-inch glass works well if you’re simply protecting an existing wooden surface and want minimal visual impact. Three-quarter-inch glass creates a more substantial feel and works beautifully for larger tables or when the glass serves as the primary table surface rather than just protection.
The decision often comes down to how you use your table. Heavy daily use calls for thicker glass. Light protection of an antique or decorative piece can use thinner options.
How do you ensure the glass fits my table perfectly?
Precision starts with professional measurement. We bring proper measuring tools and create a template if your table has unusual curves or angles. For round tables, we measure the diameter in multiple places to ensure perfect circularity.
Complex shapes get extra attention. If your table has rounded corners, decorative edges, or cutouts for pedestals, we create detailed drawings and sometimes physical templates to guarantee accuracy.
The fabrication process includes quality checks at every step. Before delivery, we verify dimensions against the original measurements. This systematic approach eliminates the guesswork that leads to poor fits and costly remakes.
Is tempered glass really safer than regular glass for families?
Tempered glass transforms how glass breaks, making it dramatically safer around children and pets. Regular glass creates long, sharp shards that can cause serious injuries. Tempered glass crumbles into small, relatively harmless pieces about the size of pebbles.
The tempering process also makes the glass four to five times stronger than regular glass, so it’s much less likely to break in the first place. It handles impacts, temperature changes, and daily wear far better than standard glass.
For families, this isn’t just about safety—it’s about peace of mind. You can use your table normally without constantly worrying about accidents or damage.
Can you cut glass table tops for outdoor patio tables?
Outdoor glass table tops require tempered glass specifically designed for weather exposure. The tempering process creates glass that handles temperature fluctuations, UV exposure, and weather changes without developing stress cracks.
For patio tables with umbrellas, we can cut precise umbrella holes in any size needed. The hole edges get polished smooth for safety and appearance. Round holes, square holes, or custom shapes all work with proper fabrication techniques.
Maintenance outdoors stays simple. Tempered glass resists scratching and staining, so cleaning with standard glass cleaner keeps it crystal clear. The durability means your outdoor table top will look great for years with minimal care.
How long does it take to get a custom glass table top?
Typical turnaround runs one to two weeks from measurement to installation. The timeline depends on complexity—simple rectangular or round cuts move faster than intricate custom shapes or multiple pieces.
Measurement appointments usually happen within a few days of your call. Once we have exact dimensions and specifications, fabrication begins. The cutting and edge polishing process requires precision, not speed, so we don’t rush this critical step.
Installation scheduling works around your availability. Most installations take less than an hour, but we allow extra time for complex setups or multiple pieces. Rush jobs are possible for urgent needs, though standard timing ensures the best quality.
What's the difference between clear glass and low-iron glass?
Standard “clear” glass actually has a slight green tint that becomes noticeable in thicker pieces or when viewed from the edge. This green tint comes from iron content in regular glass manufacturing.
Low-iron glass, sometimes called ultra-clear or starphire glass, removes most of the iron content to create truly colorless glass. The difference is subtle in thin pieces but becomes dramatic in thicker glass or when clarity matters for your design.
For most table tops, standard clear glass works perfectly and costs less. Low-iron glass makes sense when you want absolute clarity—perhaps to showcase a beautiful wooden table underneath or when the glass thickness would make the green tint noticeable.
