What Types of Glass Can Be Custom Glass Cutting?
A glass shop can custom cut many types of glass. Float glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, and specialty varieties are all available. The type you need depends on where the glass will be used and what safety requirements apply.
• Float glass for picture frames, shelves, and tabletops
• Tempered glass for showers, doors, and railings
• Laminated glass for skylights, floors, and security
Custom Cutting Gives You the Exact Glass Size No Store Shelf Can Match
Every piece is cut to your measurements. No trimming. No shimming. No settling for close-enough.
Custom homes in Newport Coast and Laguna Beach often need non-standard glass sizes for unique architectural features. A glass shop handles these with precision.
Tempered, Laminated, and Float Glass Each Serve Different Purposes
Tempered glass is the strongest and safest. It is required by code in showers, doors, and railings. Laminated glass holds together when broken. Float glass is standard clear glass for everyday use. 1
Knowing which type to order prevents safety issues and code problems.

Accurate Measurements Prevent Costly Mistakes on Custom Orders
Measure width and height at multiple points. Use the smallest number. This accounts for walls and frames that are not perfectly square.
A local glass shop in Orange County offers on-site measurement to eliminate errors. This is especially helpful for odd shapes and angled openings.
Most Custom Glass Orders Are Ready Within Days, Not Weeks
Standard float glass cuts are often ready the same day. Tempered glass takes about five to seven business days because it must be cut before the tempering process.
Glass shops in Orange County stock common thicknesses and types for fast turnaround.
Leave Glass Cutting to a Professional — DIY Risks Injury and Waste
Professional tools and experience produce clean, safe edges. DIY cutting risks shattered material and serious cuts. And tempered glass cannot be cut at all once it has been tempered. It must be ordered to size.
