Frequently Asked Questions
Can glass protect an existing wood table?
Yes. A custom top can protect the surface while allowing the wood to remain visible.
How do I measure a curved tabletop?
A template is often the best way to capture an irregular shape. The existing top may also be used as a pattern if it can be transported safely.
What edge is best for a tabletop?
A polished edge is common for a clean modern look. A bevel is more decorative. The choice should suit the furniture and how the edge will be touched.
Can shelves be tempered?
Yes, and tempering may be appropriate depending on the shelf size, location and support. All holes and shaping must be finished first.
Do you deliver large glass tops?
Delivery can be discussed. Size, building access, elevator dimensions and safe handling affect the practical panel size.
