Perfect Glass That Actually Fits
Hear from Our Customers
Custom Glass Table Solutions
You get furniture that stays pristine while looking more expensive than it actually was. The glass reflects light back into your room, making everything feel bigger and brighter without the cramped feeling that comes with bulky furniture.
Your dining table stops collecting those permanent rings from glasses and hot dishes. Your coffee table doesn’t show every scratch from keys, books, or decorative items. The wood grain still shows through perfectly, but now it’s protected by tempered glass that’s four times stronger than regular glass.
When friends visit, they notice how polished and intentional everything looks. Your space feels more open, your furniture looks more expensive, and you stop worrying about damage every time someone sets something down.
Long Island Glass Experts
OMG Shower Doors has been Long Island’s go-to glass specialist for over twenty years. We understand that Plandome homeowners expect quality that matches their investment in their homes.
We serve the same community where homes average nearly $3 million and residents value craftsmanship that lasts. From colonial estates to modern waterfront properties, we’ve worked in every style of home that defines this exclusive North Shore community.
What sets us apart is our combination of old-school attention to detail with the fastest turnaround times in the industry. We’re not just another glass company—we’re the local experts who understand that your furniture represents a significant investment worth protecting properly.
Glass Table Installation Process
First, we come to your home with professional-grade measuring tools. This isn’t a quick tape-measure job—every angle gets checked because even a fraction of an inch matters when you’re dealing with custom glass that can’t be returned or exchanged.
Next, we fabricate your glass table top in our facility using tempered safety glass. We cut everything to exact specifications and quality-check each piece before it leaves our shop. You choose your edge finish, thickness, and any special features like rounded corners or cutouts.
Installation typically takes two to four hours. We protect your floors, position the glass carefully, and walk you through proper care and maintenance. You’re left with a perfectly fitted glass top that looks like it was always meant to be there, plus the peace of mind that comes with our warranty on both materials and workmanship.

Plandome Glass Table Services
Every glass table top includes custom cutting to your exact measurements, professional-grade tempered glass, and your choice of edge finishes. You pick from polished, beveled, or flat edges depending on your style preference and safety needs.
The glass thickness ranges from quarter-inch for protective covers up to three-quarter-inch for statement pieces that serve as the actual table surface. Thicker glass costs more but provides that substantial feel that matches the quality of furniture found in Plandome’s luxury homes.
In Plandome’s humid climate near Manhasset Bay, proper sealing and edge work becomes critical for longevity. We use techniques developed specifically for Long Island’s coastal conditions, ensuring your glass won’t develop edge chips or clouding that cheaper installations often experience after a few years of exposure to salt air and temperature changes.
How thick should my glass table top be for a dining table?
For dining tables, half-inch tempered glass is typically the best choice. It provides the substantial feel that matches quality furniture while being thick enough to handle daily use, hot dishes, and the occasional impact from serving pieces.
Quarter-inch glass works if you’re just adding a protective layer over an existing wooden table top. But if the glass serves as the actual dining surface, half-inch gives you the durability and appearance that looks intentional rather than like an afterthought.
Three-quarter-inch glass creates a true statement piece, but it’s heavy and expensive. Most Plandome homeowners find half-inch provides the perfect balance of elegance, durability, and cost-effectiveness for their dining rooms.
Can you cut glass to fit unusual table shapes?
Yes, we cut glass to any shape—round, oval, rectangular, or completely custom contours. Our professional cutting equipment handles complex curves and angles that would be impossible with standard tools.
For unusual shapes, we create a template first. You can trace the outline of your table, or we’ll come measure the exact contours with specialized tools. This ensures the glass fits perfectly, even on antique pieces or custom furniture with irregular edges.
The key is getting the measurements right the first time. Glass can’t be trimmed down after tempering, so we take extra time on complex shapes to avoid costly mistakes. Most custom shapes add only a small premium to the standard rectangular pricing.
How do I clean and maintain tempered glass table tops?
Regular cleaning is simple—use any standard glass cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough cloths that can cause micro-scratches over time.
For daily maintenance, a damp cloth removes most fingerprints and dust. For stubborn spots, a mixture of water and white vinegar works better than harsh chemicals and won’t leave residue that attracts more dirt.
The edges need occasional attention too. Wipe them down with the same glass cleaner to prevent buildup that can make the edges look cloudy. Tempered glass is scratch-resistant, but using coasters and placemats extends its pristine appearance and protects both the glass and your furniture underneath.
What's the difference between tempered and regular glass for tables?
Tempered glass is four to five times stronger than regular glass and breaks into small, blunt cubes instead of dangerous shards. For table tops, this safety feature is crucial, especially in homes with children or high-traffic areas.
The tempering process also makes the glass more resistant to thermal shock, meaning it won’t crack from hot dishes or temperature changes. Regular glass can shatter from thermal stress, particularly problematic in dining applications.
Tempered glass costs more upfront, but it’s the only type that meets safety standards for furniture applications. Insurance companies and building codes often require tempered glass for table tops, making it not just the safer choice but often the only acceptable choice for quality installations.
How long does custom glass table top installation take?
The full process typically takes two to three weeks from initial measurement to final installation. This includes one week for precise measuring and templating, one to two weeks for manufacturing your custom glass, and a few hours for professional installation.
The actual installation appointment usually takes two to four hours, depending on the size and complexity of your table. We protect your floors, position everything carefully, and clean up completely before leaving.
Rush orders are sometimes possible for an additional fee, but proper tempering and quality control can’t be rushed without compromising safety. Most homeowners find the standard timeline reasonable given that they’re getting a custom-manufactured product that will last for decades.
Do you offer warranties on glass table tops?
Yes, all installations include a warranty covering both materials and workmanship. The specific terms depend on the application and glass type, but typical coverage includes defects in manufacturing and installation-related issues.
The warranty doesn’t cover damage from impacts, scratches from abusive use, or normal wear and tear. But it does cover edge chips from improper tempering, installation problems, or manufacturing defects that become apparent after installation.
Being a local Long Island company means you can actually reach us if warranty issues arise. We’ve been serving the community for over twenty years, so we’ll be here to honor our commitments long after your installation is complete.
