Tempered Glass

This product is used most often for shelves, some fireplaces and table tops. Tempered glass breaks into many small pieces when broken and usually never cracks.

Annealed Glass

Often used in small pieces. This product is not considered a safety glass. Annealed glass does not shatter into small pieces. If broken, the piece will crack into large shards. Maximum Annealed Glass Size: 29-15/16" x 47-15/16". For pieces larger than this please select Tempered Glass.

Tempered Glass Shelves

Tempered glass can be used for shelves in display cases or as shelving on wall systems. Glass shelves are a great accent for the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and many other places in your home or business.

One Day Glass offers custom cut tempered glass shelves, allowing you to get just the look you desire.

Maybe you have an achievement to display in the office or finally want to give your sports memorabilia a special place in your den or garage. With custom tempered glass shelves they will have the place they deserve. Our custom tempered glass shelves are durable and safe. You can expect them to stand the test of time. Give whatever room you chose to put them in, that great look of more space and beautiful depth.

We create custom shelves out of glass at whatever length, depth, and thickness you need. Most of the time these shelves have exposed edges, giving you the option of adding another level of detail to better reflect your personal style. Our seamed edge comes standard with your order. If the edge is going to show, consider a rounded (pencil) or flat edge, as preferred by many as it gives a more finished look when edges are visible.

After choosing whether or not you want a rounded or flat edge, you get to choose between a polish or grind. A polish gives a shiny and glossy finish, while a grind provides a frosted matte finish. This small detail can impact the overall effect you are wanting to create in your space.

Sometimes we get clients who have something special in mind for their edges. If you have a custom idea for your edgework, there’s a good chance that we can do that for you too. Give us a call or get started on your order and we can make your dream a reality.

Custom Glass Shelves FAQs

Why use tempered glass for glass shelves?

What is tempered glass?

Can I order glass shelves made from other glass types?

Yes. Tempered glass is normally used. You can order any of our glass types and use them for glass shelves. You can use annealed glass (weaker, but cheaper), Laminated glass (2 sheets of glass with plastic sheet between) or Ceramic glass (high temperature applications). To order, click on the red order now button at the top of the page and start by selecting the type of glass that you want.

What thickness do you recommend for glass bookshelves?

Since all of our projects are custom made to order, there is no standard thickness for shelves of any given size. The most important thing is that the glass is tempered which is what gives the glass strength. For this reason, much of the choice is aesthetic and will vary from person to person and project to project.

Use our Glass Weight Load Calculator to calculate how much weight your glass shelf can safely hold.

Once I place my order, when will it ship? Will my order ship the same day?

We live up to our name! Most orders are shipped within 1 business day after being submitted and approved. We do our best to ship orders received before 12:00pm (Noon) Pacific Time for all the same day they are ordered but generally ship no later than the next business day. If your piece is extremely labor intensive (ex. IGU, cut to a pattern), larger than 24″ x 48″, requires edgework, or an uncommon tint/thickness, it may take us extra time to get it just right.

Once your order is placed, your email order confirmation will display the estimated production time and estimated delivery dates based upon your order specifications and the delivery option chosen.

What is your cutting tolerance?

What is the exact thickness of the glass?

Glass thicknesses are shown as a Nominal Thickness, meaning “in name only”, used solely for identification. These are commonly listed as 1/8″, 5/32″, 1/8″, 3/16″, 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″. The nominal size may not match the exact thickness but will be within the acceptable industry-wide thickness range and can correspond to a large number of highly standardized dimensions and tolerances.

How do I measure a radius?

It is simple to measure a radius by using our radius measurement tool. Download the tool by clicking here. Print the tool. When printing please make sure page scaling is set to none. To verify you have printed the tool to the correct scale measure the 1″ Scale Line at the bottom of the page. It should measure out to exactly 1″. If it does not measure correctly please check your printer settings.

The correct radius will fill the entire curved area on the template.

What is a seamed edge? How do I know if I need edgework?

A “seamed” edge is one that has been lightly sanded to remove any sharp burrs. Glass with a seamed edge is safe to handle but is not decorative. It is our standard finish and is available at no extra charge. We will never send out glass with sharp edges that you could not handle safely without being cut.

The seamed edge is recommended for all applications in which the edges of the glass are not exposed.

For example, if your glass will be installed into the frame of a fireplace door and no one will see the edges once the glass has been installed, a seamed edge is all you need.

For shelves, table tops, or the like, you may want to consider upgrading to a more finished/decorate edge.
