Table Tops

Your home is a direct reflection of your sense
of style, and/your personality. Glass table tops can be an
elegant and cost-effective way to open up your living space
while adding function.

Alamo Glass Company can provide glass for any table size or
shape and in thicknesses ranging from 1/8" to 3/4".

When calling for a quote, the important details include the size, and the shape and
thickness, and what type of edge work you would like. Often times the top may be cut to
a pattern, so the size may just be a block size but should be as close as possible,
because depending on the thickness, just a few inches either direction can mean a
major price difference. Below see some examples of pattern shapes ...

PLEASE NOTE!
WE DO NOT HAVE
WRAPPING FOR
YOUR LARGE
PIECE OF GLASS,
PLEASE
COME
PREPARED!
Each detail in a table top adds to the price, for example a rectangular top with 90
degree corners, would cost less than the same size and thickness table top, with
even slight radius or clipped corners.



WAYS TO GAUGE THICKNESS WITHOUT A TAPE MEASURE:



A standard emory board is 3/8 wide at one end and 1/2 inch wide at the other.

A standard #2 pencil is about 1/4"

A new legal pad is roughly 1/4" thick, as is a standard drinking straw, and a small sized
paper clip

A large sized paper clip is about 3/8' of an inch at it's widest point

If you have a ruler or tape measure but are not sure of the measuring terminology,
please observe the following:

An inch has 16 marks, some are smaller and some are bigger.

There are 16 - 16ths

There are 8 - 8ths

There are 4 - 1/4s

There are 2 - 1/2s



You can give your measurements to us in marks, such as there are 10 marks of the
ruler, and we can translate that for you or use the handy chart below ...
PLEASE BE ADVISED:
SOME TABLE TOPS HAVE INTRICATE PATTERNS (SCALLOPED EDGES, CURLED CORNERS, ETC.) THAT REQUIRE
A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PRECISION AND WHILE OUR CUTTERS ARE EXPERIENCED, ALL CUTTING IS BY HAND
AND ALL THAT THAT IMPLIES. WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO CREATE YOUR TOP TO PERFECTION, BUT PLEASE
DO NOT EXPECT A HAND CUT ITEM TO LOOK LIKE A LASER OR WATER JET CUT ITEM. WE CAN GET YOU A
LASER OR WATER JET CUT TOP, IT WILL SIMPLY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER AND COST MORE.  PLEASE CALL IF
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
Another example of edgework is our standard flat ground shop edge. This edge is
sanded smooth and has a matt finish that can be oiled to add some gloss. It is shown
next to a high gloss polished edge.
There is no charge for the flat ground edge.
