Glass Table Top Installation Process
We start with a free consultation at your Garden City Park home. Our technician measures your table precisely—accounting for any irregularities that could affect fit. We discuss thickness options, edge styles, and any special requirements.
Next, we fabricate your custom glass table top using premium tempered glass that’s four to five times stronger than regular glass. Every piece is cut to exact specifications and edges are polished to your chosen finish.
Installation day is straightforward. We arrive on time, position your new glass top carefully, and ensure it sits perfectly. You’ll see immediately how it transforms your furniture while providing the protection you need.

Tempered Glass Table Top Options
Every glass table top we create uses tempered safety glass—the same material required in commercial buildings. This isn’t regular glass that shatters into dangerous shards. If it ever breaks, it crumbles into small, dull pieces that won’t cause injury.
We offer various thicknesses from 1/4″ for lighter use to 1/2″ for heavy-duty protection. Edge options include polished, beveled, and custom profiles that complement your furniture’s style. Whether you need protection for an antique mahogany dining table or a modern steel desk, we match the glass to your piece.
Garden City Park’s proximity to Roosevelt Field and the area’s active lifestyle means furniture gets used hard. Our glass tops handle hot dishes, spilled wine, homework sessions, and holiday gatherings without showing wear.
How thick should my glass table top be for daily use?
For most dining and coffee tables, 1/4″ tempered glass provides excellent protection for daily use. This thickness handles normal dining, beverages, and light objects without issue.
If your table sees heavier use—like serving as a desk, craft table, or frequent entertaining surface—we recommend 3/8″ glass. For statement pieces or tables that need to support heavier items regularly, 1/2″ glass offers maximum durability and peace of mind.
The thickness also affects appearance. Thicker glass has more presence and weight, while thinner glass maintains a lighter, more delicate look. We’ll help you choose based on your specific furniture and how you use the space.
Will a glass top damage my wooden table underneath?
Properly installed glass table tops actually protect your wooden furniture, not damage it. We use clear bumpers or pads at contact points that prevent the glass from directly touching your table’s surface.
These small, nearly invisible spacers allow air circulation underneath, preventing moisture buildup that could harm wood finishes. They also prevent the glass from sliding while providing cushioning that protects both surfaces.
For valuable antique pieces, this protection is especially important. The glass shields your wood from water rings, scratches, and UV fading while the bumpers ensure no pressure points or trapped moisture can cause damage to the original finish.
What happens if my custom glass table top breaks?
Tempered glass is designed to be incredibly durable—four to five times stronger than regular glass. But if it does break from severe impact, it crumbles into small, relatively harmless pieces instead of dangerous sharp shards.
We keep detailed records of every custom piece we create, including exact measurements and specifications. If replacement is needed, we can recreate your glass top without requiring another measurement visit in most cases.
Our glass tops are covered by warranty against manufacturing defects. While accidental breakage isn’t covered, we offer replacement services at a reduced rate for existing customers. Most importantly, the safety glass design means a broken top is an inconvenience, not a safety hazard.
How do I clean and maintain my glass table top?
Glass table tops are remarkably easy to maintain. For daily cleaning, simply use glass cleaner and a soft cloth or paper towel. The smooth surface wipes clean easily, showing no water spots or streaks when dried properly.
For stubborn spots or sticky residue, a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap works well. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the surface, though tempered glass is quite scratch-resistant under normal use.
The key is regular light cleaning rather than letting buildup accumulate. A quick wipe after meals or use keeps your glass top crystal clear. Unlike wood furniture that needs special oils or polishes, glass maintains its appearance with minimal effort.
Can you cut glass to fit unusual table shapes?
Yes, we specialize in custom shapes including ovals, rounds, rectangles with rounded corners, and even completely unique configurations. Our computerized cutting equipment handles complex curves and angles that would be impossible to achieve by hand.
We create templates for unusual shapes to ensure perfect fit. For antique tables or custom furniture pieces, we often need to account for irregularities or decorative elements that affect how the glass should be cut.
The most complex shapes we’ve handled include kidney-shaped desks, octagonal dining tables, and tables with built-in extensions or decorative cutouts. Each piece is treated as a custom project with careful attention to both fit and aesthetics.
How long does it take to get a custom glass table top?
Most custom glass table tops are ready within one to two weeks from the time we complete your measurement and finalize specifications. Simple rectangular or round shapes typically fall on the shorter end of this timeframe.
Complex shapes, special edge treatments, or multiple pieces may require additional time. We’ll give you an exact timeline during your consultation based on your specific requirements and our current production schedule.
Rush orders are sometimes possible for an additional fee, especially for standard shapes and sizes. We understand that furniture protection is often needed quickly, particularly when you’re preparing for events or have new furniture arriving.
