Glass Cutting & Custom Fabrication — What to Expect
A tempered glass tabletop cut to an unusual shape, a shelf insert for a built-in bookcase, replacement glass for a single-pane window, a picture frame panel, or switch plate covers in matching glass — these projects all require accurate measurement, clean cuts, and proper edge finishing. Off-the-shelf glass panels rarely match non-standard dimensions.
Colfax Glass cuts flat glass in standard, tempered, and laminated varieties. We stock common thicknesses from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch and can source specialty glass for unusual requirements. Edge treatments include seamed, flat polished, beveled, and pencil polished finishes — chosen based on whether the edge is exposed or set into a frame.
Tempered glass cannot be cut after tempering. We order it cut to your exact dimensions and have it tempered at the factory. Accurate measurements are critical since the finished piece cannot be modified. Standard tempered orders take 5-7 business days. Regular flat glass cuts are often ready same-day or next-day.
Common projects include glass tabletops for dining and coffee tables, glass shelving for display cases and bathrooms, replacement panes for older windows, cabinet door glass, fireplace screen panels, and cover plates for light switches and outlets. Bring in the broken piece or give us the dimensions and we will match it.
Glass Cutting & Custom Fabrication for Foresthill, CA Homes
Foresthill is a rural community on the Foresthill Divide at about 3,400 feet elevation, accessed by a single road from Auburn. Homes here are predominantly single-family residences on larger lots, many surrounded by mixed conifer forest. Building styles range from 1970s A-frames and cabins to modern custom homes. The remote setting means homeowners often deal with contractors who are reluctant to make the drive. Colfax Glass is about 40 minutes from Foresthill and serves the area on a regular basis.
At 3,400 feet, Foresthill gets meaningful snowfall and extended freezing conditions through winter. Windows and doors need to handle snow loads, ice buildup at sills, and the thermal stress of cold nights followed by sunny days. We specify products with strong weatherstripping, durable frame materials, and insulating glass units rated for mountain conditions. For cabins and A-frames, we frequently replace older single-pane and aluminum-frame windows that were common in 1970s mountain construction.
The Foresthill Divide also includes smaller communities like Todd Valley and Yankee Jims. Road access can be limited during winter storms, so we plan projects with weather windows in mind. For emergency glass repair after storm damage or break-ins, we prioritize Foresthill calls because the remote location means residents have fewer alternatives.
