Where Can I Buy Glass Cut to Size?

If you’re looking for made-to-measure glass for a trade project, the best place to buy is a specialist supplier that can machine, finish, and toughen the panel to your specification. Big-box retailers tend to stock only standard sizes. For accurate dimensions, polished edges, and holes for hardware, you’ll need a glass partner that manufactures to order.

Best in Glass is a trade-friendly, supply-only supplier based in Staffordshire with nationwide delivery. We provide both stock items and bespoke panels, and we’re well reviewed for helpful, straight answers. If you need advice or a quick quote, call 01889 226444 or email contact@bestinglass.uk.

What to look for in a cut-to-size supplier

• Ability to add holes, notches, and shaping before tempering

• Choice of edge finishes, such as arrised and flat-polished

• Clear guidance on tolerances for channels, clamps, and hardware

• Nationwide delivery with protective packaging

• Fast, practical support when you’re finalising drawings

A good supplier will help you specify the right thickness and edge finish, confirm hardware positions, and give realistic lead times based on your order. For components and ancillaries, see our range of glass hardware and tools.

Typical trade uses for cut-to-size glass

• Glass partitioning. Accurate panels for U-channels and door hardware. Explore our glass partitioning systems.

• Balustrades and railings. Panels sized around clamp centres or base shoes. See our options for glass balustrades and railings.

• Furniture and interiors. Replacement tops and shelves with polished, radius corners. View our glass table tops.

• Quick fixes. Off-the-shelf sizes from the catalogue can help when tolerances are forgiving.

If your dimensions are tight or the edge is visible, bespoke manufacture is the safer route.

How to order glass cut to size

• Share sizes in millimetres, thickness, and edge finish

• Mark any holes and notches with centres from the nearest edges

• Include quantity, delivery postcode, and your timeframe

• Send a clear sketch or CAD file

Once we have the spec, we can confirm availability and lead times. Nationwide delivery is available, and timings vary with size and complexity.

Where can I buy mirror glass cut to size?

For mirrored furniture tops, feature walls, or vanity surrounds, look for a supplier that can cut, polish, and toughen where required. Some mirrors are supplied as annealed, others as safety-backed or laminated depending on the application. If the mirror sits near taps or high-traffic areas, a polished edge gives a cleaner finish and safer handling.

If you need brackets, adhesive, or finishing trims, you’ll find suitable choices in our selection of glass hardware and tools. Share your sizes and we will advise the best make-up for the environment.

Where can I buy tempered glass cut to size?

Tempered glass, also known as toughened glass, must be cut, drilled, and edged before it goes into the furnace. You cannot cut or drill it after tempering. Choose a supplier that machines the panel first, then toughens it to suit the job.

Common options before tempering include:

• Holes for hinges and handles

• Notches for brackets and channels

• Radius corners and shaped edges

• Flat-polished or arrised finishes

For partition and balustrade work, 10 mm and 12 mm are common thicknesses. Always follow the hardware manufacturer’s guidance for thickness and edge distances.

Where can I buy window glass cut to size?

For simple replacements in timber frames or secondary glazing, annealed cut-to-size can be suitable. For safety-critical areas and doors, you may need toughened or laminated glass depending on regulations. Share the opening sizes and the frame type and we can help you choose an appropriate specification.

If you are fitting trims, gaskets, or channels, confirm the exact clearances with your chosen system to avoid reorders.

Where can I get glass cut to size on short notice?

If you need something fast and your tolerances are flexible, check our current catalogue of stock products. For tight fits and visible edges, it is usually quicker overall to order the right bespoke item once, rather than fight with an almost-right stock piece.

When timing is critical, tell us your deadline at the enquiry stage. We will give an honest view of what is achievable based on your spec and location.

Measuring tips that save time on site

• Measure the opening in several places and work to the tightest size

• Allow sensible fitting clearance for channels, clamps, and movement

• Follow the hardware drawings for hole diameters and edge distances

• Keep radii and hole sizes consistent across a batch

If you are unsure what clearance to allow for your system, email a quick sketch to contact@bestinglass.uk and we will sense-check it.

FAQs

Do you deliver cut-to-size glass nationwide?

Yes, we deliver across the UK. Lead times depend on panel size, processing, quantity, and route planning.

Can you cut or drill tempered glass after delivery?

No. All cutting and drilling must be completed before the glass is toughened. Send your final sizes and hole positions with the order.

What edge finish should I choose?

Use flat-polished for visible edges on furniture and partitions. Arrised is fine where the edge sits in a channel or is fully covered.

What information do you need for a quote?

Sizes in millimetres, thickness, edge finish, hole details, quantity, delivery postcode, and your timeframe. A simple drawing speeds things up.

Do you supply stock sizes as well as bespoke?

Yes. We stock a range of pre-cut products and also manufacture made-to-measure panels. We will help you decide which route suits your job.
