Custom cut glass prices


Recommended Posts

Hi all, 

 

I'm considering getting one of those Ikea Detolf glass cases, and I was exploring costs for extra shelves. A custom glass installation business I called said that cutting 4 sheets of tempered glass to the appropriate size will cost $172.00! :o

 

Is this average, or am I looking at the wrong kind of business?

For model shelves I don't think you need the glass to be tempered. Tempered glass is expensive probably due to the post process after cutting to shape. If the glass shelves break it should be contained in the cabinet.

 

My model cabinet came with only two shelves and now I have 6 in it. It started out as a china cabinet that I added the shelves to. I got lucky and got the glass free from a friend who had a bunch of aluminum framed windows he had replaced with new ones. I simply took them to the glass shop and they cut them to size. They were not tempered.
