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 Nevada City, CA Homes
Nevada City is one of the most architecturally distinctive towns in the Sierra foothills. The historic downtown and surrounding neighborhoods feature a concentration of Victorian-era homes with ornate trim, tall narrow windows, and original wood sashes. Preserving the character of these homes while improving thermal performance requires careful product selection and installation technique.
At roughly 2,500 feet elevation, Nevada City 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.
Colfax Glass is about 40 minutes from downtown Nevada City. For homeowners restoring older Victorian or Craftsman homes, we source custom window profiles that match period styles without sacrificing thermal performance. We also serve the surrounding areas of Cement Hill, Deer Creek, and properties along the Highway 49 corridor.

“Our 1890s Nevada City home needed windows that looked right but actually insulated. Colfax Glass found a product that matched the originals and the house is noticeably warmer in winter now.”
