Custom glass table tops cut to the actual dimensions of your base, with thickness and edge finish selected for how the piece is used and where it lives in your home. Fabricated and delivered by Preferred Glass & Windows in the Santa Clarita metro — AAMA-certified, no subcontractors, since 1969.
A glass top is only as effective as the support beneath it and the environment around it. At Preferred Glass & Windows, we specify thickness, glass type, and pad spacing based on the actual base and where the piece lives — not a standard formula. Dining tables with heirloom bases need a top that protects the surface without obscuring the material underneath. Patio sets in Santa Clarita's heat face real thermal expansion that requires proper pad spacing to prevent stress cracks. Active households need tempered glass and rounded corners at edges where impact is likely. We've covered all of it, and every job starts with a look at the actual piece before anything gets cut.
Thickness is set by how the base supports the glass. A top on four narrow legs needs more strength than one on a fully supported surface. We review base design and support spacing before fabricating anything.
Irregular shapes need physical templating. For asymmetrical bases or decorative frames, we template on-site so the glass sits centered with a consistent overhang all the way around. We also handle cut-outs for umbrella poles and cable openings, with enough material left around each notch to maintain structural integrity.
Preferred Glass & Windows has been a trusted provider in the Southern California area since 1969, and the team still handles every job in-house. We're AAMA-certified, fully licensed, and insured. For custom glass table tops, that means knowing how to template irregular and asymmetrical bases, how to spec glass for outdoor patio sets that deal with real thermal swings, and how to replace tops on antique furniture where dimensions have to match exactly. Every installation carries a lifetime guarantee. If something isn't right, we fix it.
Tempered glass is strongly recommended for most residential table tops and may be required depending on size and placement. It is stronger than standard glass and safer if breakage occurs. We confirm requirements during the site visit and specify accordingly.
Thickness depends on span length and how the base supports the glass. A top with a large unsupported center span needs more thickness to prevent flex under load. We review base design and support spacing before making a recommendation.
Yes. We fabricate a new top to fit the existing base as long as the structure is stable and support points are sound. We re-evaluate thickness and edge profile at the same time so the replacement performs better than the original if the original had issues.
Most cracks start at edges or contact points where support is uneven or where the glass meets the base without proper pad spacing. Heat exposure on outdoor tables and unsupported center spans are the other common causes. Getting thickness, support, and pad placement right at the start prevents most of these problems.
Standard glass carries a slight green tint along cut edges. On a large panel or a piece where the edge is visible, that tint is noticeable. Low-iron glass removes it so the panel reads clear and neutral. It is worth considering on dining tables and display pieces where edge clarity matters.
I loved going with Preffered Glass as it was recommended by a family friend to fix my antique hutch cabinet. I spoke with Courtney and I needed 2 new pieces for my doors. She was great she got the measurements I needed and what I wanted. She got the work done same day. And when I installed the pieces one needed to be cut a little more because it was a little to big. She personally went to the back and cut the piece I needed so it can fit properly. 10 out of 10 recommend for all your Glasswork needs.
Preferred Glass & Windows is an amazing company to work with beginning to end on any project! Scott came to my house to give me a quote on shower doors for my master bath and on all my windows. He was extremely professional and helpful and made sure everything went smoothly! Courtney at the front desk was super friendly as well and very knowledgeable and she had no problem answering any of my questions! The customer service was top tier and the installation job was even better! I will definitely be a returning customer.
We had a broken window called for service to replace it. They came the next day measured the window said it would be a week or two to get the window call the next day. The window came in sooner than expected, they came that afternoon and installed it it came out great very impressed with their level of service. Thank you very much!!!
