 * High-precision, intricate cutting is available for an additional cutting fee.

If the shape you need is not shown we can probably still do it for you;
To verify that we can cut the shape you desire we will need a drawing or
diagram of the shape. A pattern may also be required before we can cut
the glass for you. For more information on your specific needs please

Edgework

There is a variety of edgework for to choose from. A more common type of
edgework is a Pencil Polished edge w/Satin finish. Pencil Polished edges are
also available in clear finish. We also offer Flat Polished edges in both Satin
and Clear as well as Ogee and Mitered edges in a Clear finish only. Beveled
edges can also be applied to any of these edge finishes.

Beveling
The beveling of glass or mirror edges makes the edge look elegant and
is often found on tabletops, vanity mirrors & wall mirrors. Our beveling
process uses diamond grinding wheels to remove a portion of the glass
edge and then uses felt wheels and polishing compound to bring the
edge to a shiny clear finish once again. The finished result will enhance
the appearance of any project that uses glass or mirror.

Examples of beveled edges
Shaped	Oval	Straight

Our beveling equipment can handle glass from 1/8" to 3/4" thick.
Lamont Glass can produce a bevel sizes as narrow as 1/2" and as
wide as 1 1/2" on both straight pieces and curved pieces. The standard
bevel sizes are shown in the figure below.

Fabrication
To accommodate for the many applications of glass, we offer the
following types of fabrication:

• Drilled Holes; 1/8" & up.
• Cutouts
• Notches
• Finger Pulls
• Plate Grooves
• Sandblasting
• Etching

 

Tolerances
Shown below are the industry tolerances for the different glass
thickness'. Every effort is made to hold your glass to the size
ordered. An additional charge will be added to orders requesting
"hold to exact size".

Standard Tolerances
Thickness	Tolerance
1/8"	± 1/16"
3/16"	± 1/8"
1/4"	± 1/8"
3/8"	± 3/16"
1/2"	± 1/4"
3/4"	± 3/8"

Tabletops
One very common use of glass is tabletops. Glass tabletops
protect the table from the normal wear and tear of having
objects placed on them while at the same time enhancing the
appearance of the table. 1/4" plate glass is the most common
thickness used for tabletops, however on larger tables or on
bases only (where the glass is the actual table top) 3/8", 1/2"
& 3/4" thick glass is often used.
