How to choose the right glass table top
Glass edge finish
There are three common types of glass edge finishes. The right one for your home will depend on how you plan to use your glass table top.
- Beveled edges: Popular for its elegant look, beveled edges are cut and polished to a specific angle and size that leaves the glass thinner around the edges with a normal glass thickness in the middle portion.
- Flat polish edge: Mostly used for display purposes due to its refined, simplistic look, a flat polish edge is defined by a thicker-than-usual appearance.
- Pencil polished edge: This style gets its name from its pencil-like shape, which is a slightly rounded edge. It looks especially stylish with a frosty, satin or matte glass finish.
Glass Thicknesses
COMMON GLASS THICKNESSES
4mm Good for table and furniture cover in both kitchen and living room table tops.
6mm Great for patio tables, side tables, inserts, and glass protective table covers.
8mm Although not commonly used, 8mm is used for glass tables and glass protective table covers.
10mm Used for heavy, unsupported tables where glass is the only table top.
12mm Ideal for heavy, unsupported tables where glass is the only table top.
19mm Ideal for heavy, unsupported tables where glass is the only table top.
Corner finishes
Should you wish to purchase a square or rectangular table top, you might also want to consider what type of corner finish you would like. Below are two of the most popular corner finishes that we can provide:
- Tipped corners: Used for safety and comfort, an eased corner is our most popular choice.
- Radius corner: This style of corner finish is ideal for covering tables with similar corners, or when the glass is on a pedestal.

FAQ
How much does a glass table top cost?
The exact price is determined by the specific measurements of your glass table top when it is cut to size. Keep in mind that tempered glass may cost more.
How thick should glass be for a table top?
There are three standard glass thicknesses, which depend on the table itself. For small tables, we recommend 6mm thick.
Can you buy replacement glass for a patio table?
Yes, you can buy replacement glass for a patio table. Whether you want to update your current table top or replace it, we recommend covering your patio table to ensure longevity and beauty. We measure the size and shape of your patio table top and order a replacement that is an exact fit.
How do I measure a glass table top to replace?
Simply measure both sides of the table top along the width, from edge to edge and from left to right. For a square table top, measure through the exact centre to get the diameter. It’s important that you get a true measurement so we can cut your glass to size.
Do I need a glass table top and a glass table cover?
A glass table top is glass that sits on a pedestal. Alternatively, a glass table cover sits on the surface of an existing table, such as a wooden surface, in order to protect the material underneath it.
Why should I use a glass table cover?
Glass table covers are popular for when you want to protect antique or wooden furniture while still showcasing its beauty. With a glass table cover, your table’s surface is safe from spills, chips, stains and scratches. Best of all, you can place hot dishes or cups directly onto the glass without having a need for placemats. Lastly, glass table covers are much easier to clean and keep clean - simply wipe with a damp cloth.
How long will it take for my custom glass table top to arrive?
We will cut custom glass to your size and shape requirements. We carry a wide range of glass in stock, so our turnaround time is generally quite quick.
How can I best maintain my glass table top?
Very high temperatures can make your glass table top crack, so try to avoid putting anything hot on the table. If you need to put a hot dish or cup on the glass table top, lay a placemat or trivet on the surface before placing the hot item down.
What size glass should I get for my dining table?
If your dining table rests on a pedestal, then you’ll need to consider whether the pedestal is big enough to support the weight of the glass. Keep in mind that a too-large piece of glass may tip, so you’ll need to look at getting the correct measurements in place before purchasing the glass.
