Clear float glass, cut to your sizes. This is the standard glass behind most shelves, tabletops, cabinet doors and framed openings. It carries a faint green cast that comes from the iron in the raw batch. You will not see it on a small piece, but it shows at 1/2 in and along a polished edge. When the glass is going to be tinted, frosted or backed with a colored film, that cast disappears into the finish and clear glass is the sensible choice. When you want the glass itself to read as colorless, choose low iron instead.
How it is sold
By the square foot. Choose the thickness, then give us the width and height of each piece and how many you need. Every piece is rounded up to the next whole square foot. The minimum is 5 square feet for the whole order: you can order less and it is charged as 5 square feet.
Choosing a size
Pick one of the standard sizes from the size list, or choose Custom size and type the width and height: the calculator on this page prices it straight away. A single piece cannot be larger than one sheet. For a bigger wall we join panels, so call (866) 823-4523 and we will plan it with you.
Holes and edges
Holes are $15 each, from 1/8 to 3 in. Edges are priced separately: seamed, flat polished or pencil polished.

Before you order
Send us your sizes and we confirm them before cutting. Measure the opening, not the old glass. Tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled or edged after it leaves the oven, so every hole and notch has to be on the drawing.
Care
Clean with a soft cloth and a mild glass cleaner.
