## What we handle here

- **Drilling and edgework in-house** Holes, countersinks, and seamed, ground, or polished edges, finished here before the glass ships.
- **Large-format CNC cutting** Shapes, notches and radii cut from your DXF or DWG on lites up to 90" × 144".
- **Tempering under the same roof** Cut, printed and tempered in one building, so a print revision doesn't ripple through three subcontractors.
- **Quotes in a day, parts in a week** Most quotes go out within one business day; production typically ships in 5–10.

## FAQ

### What thickness do I need for a 36" shelf?

It depends on load and bracket spacing more than length. Tell us the span and what goes on it and we'll recommend a thickness rather than guessing.

### Can you notch shelves for standards?

Yes, cut before tempering along with any holes. Send the standard's profile or a dimensioned sketch.

### Are polished edges standard?

On shelving, yes. The edge shows, and people handle it, so flat polish is the default.
