Custom-size glass should be specified from the use, final dimensions and required geometry. A simple rectangle, a shaped shelf and a panel with several holes or notches can all require different measurement and fabrication information.
NY-GoodHome handles custom-size glass project requests in Brooklyn and New York City. Call (223) 226-1828 with rough dimensions, photos or drawings and a description of how the glass will be used.
Start With the Application
The intended use helps determine which glass requirements need to be considered. A tabletop, wall panel, partition piece or replacement glass panel may use different thickness, edge or safety specifications.
The project should not choose material only from dimensions.
Dimensions and Shape
Provide width and height, plus a sketch for nonrectangular pieces. Irregular shapes may need a physical template or field measurement after surrounding finishes are complete.
Edges, Holes and Notches
Exposed edges can require a finished edge specification. Holes for hardware, notches around fixtures and cutouts need exact positions and sizes.
Those features should be finalized before glass is produced because they cannot be treated like simple field cuts after installation.
Fabrication Boundary
Fabrication method and turnaround depend on the specific glass requirements. Start by confirming dimensions, edge work, holes or cutouts and installation needs.
When the project also involves Custom Mirrors or Custom Glass Tabletops, include those items in the request so each scope can be planned clearly.
