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 Grass Valley, CA Homes
Grass Valley sits at roughly 2,500 feet elevation in western Nevada County, blending Gold Rush heritage with steady modern growth. The housing stock ranges from Gold Rush-period cottages and mid-century ranch homes to newer subdivisions on the outskirts toward Lake of the Pines and Penn Valley. Each building era presents different glass and window challenges, from non-standard openings in historic homes to aluminum-frame upgrades in 1960s-era tracts.
This elevation gets significantly more snow than Auburn or Colfax. Heavy snow loads put pressure on skylights and roof-mounted glazing, and the freeze-thaw cycle is more intense. We select products with higher structural ratings for Grass Valley elevations and pay close attention to flashing details. Condensation on interior glass surfaces is a common complaint during cold months, and we address this with improved spacer systems and gas-filled insulating units.
Colfax Glass is about 35 minutes from central Grass Valley. We also serve surrounding communities like Penn Valley, Lake of the Pines, Cedar Ridge, and the Banner Mountain area on the same scheduling basis.
