Specialty Glass

When Standard Glass Won't Do

Antique mirrors, custom etching, dip-tech painted glass, beveled edges, privacy stripes, cast glass, and one-of-a-kind shapes. This is where craftsmanship meets imagination — if you can dream it, we can likely make it.

The Fun Stuff

Most glass shops can cut a square piece of glass. The specialty work is where experience really matters — and it's some of our favorite work to do. Whether you want your company logo etched into a storefront, a warm antique mirror feature wall behind your bar, a bold dip-tech painted backsplash, or a custom-shaped glass tabletop, we have the equipment and expertise to make it happen.

Every specialty project is unique, so pricing is custom. Send us your idea, a photo, a sketch, or a Pinterest screenshot — we'll tell you if we can do it (we usually can) and what it'll cost.

What We Create

Specialty Glass Services

Custom work that turns ordinary glass into something special.

🍷 Antique Mirrors

Warm, aged patina that mimics vintage hand-silvered glass. Perfect for accent walls, behind home bars, in custom millwork, and as statement decorative features. Several antique finishes available.

✏️ Custom Etching

Logos, monograms, decorative designs, and patterns etched directly into glass. Great for shower doors, office partitions, storefronts, and branded signage. Send us your design.

🎨 Dip-Tech Painted Glass

Digital ceramic printing that fuses vibrant, permanent color into the glass surface. Ideal for backsplashes, feature walls, signage, and decorative panels. Won't fade, peel, or scratch.

💎 Beveled Edges

Angled decorative edges that catch and refract light. Adds an upscale, traditional touch to mirrors, tabletops, and glass panels.

🔲 Privacy Stripes

Frosted or etched horizontal bands for privacy on shower doors, office partitions, and glass walls — without fully blocking light or view.

⬡ Custom Shapes

Circles, arches, ovals, hexagons, freeform designs. We cut, drill, and shape glass for tabletops, art pieces, and architectural features.

🤚 Custom Glass Handles

Unique glass pulls and handles for shower doors, cabinets, and furniture. A custom touch you won't find off the shelf.

🪵 Glass Tabletops

Custom-cut glass tops to protect furniture or create modern tables. Any shape, polished or beveled edges, tempered for safety.

Common Questions

Specialty Glass FAQs

What is dip-tech painted glass?

Dip-tech is a digital ceramic printing process that fuses color directly into the glass surface. The result is vibrant, durable, fade-resistant painted glass — perfect for backsplashes, feature walls, signage, and decorative panels. Unlike paint, the color is permanent and won't peel or scratch off.

Can you etch a custom logo or design?

Yes. We do custom etching for logos, monograms, decorative designs, and privacy patterns — perfect for shower doors, office partitions, storefronts, and signage. Send us your design and we'll bring it to life in glass.

What are antique mirrors?

Antique mirrors have a warm, aged patina that mimics the look of vintage hand-silvered glass. They add character and depth and are popular for accent walls, behind home bars, in custom millwork, and as decorative features. We offer several antique finishes.

Can you cut glass into custom shapes?

Yes. We cut glass into virtually any custom shape — circles, arches, ovals, hexagons, and freeform designs. We can also drill holes, create cutouts, and shape glass for tabletops, art pieces, and architectural features.

How much does specialty glass cost?

Specialty glass is priced custom based on the type of work, size, and complexity. Custom etching, antique mirrors, dip-tech painted glass, and unique shapes all vary widely. Contact us with your project details for a custom quote.

Can you match a design I found online?

Most of the time, yes. Send us a photo or screenshot of what you're after — a Pinterest pin, a magazine clip, whatever inspires you. We'll tell you if we can recreate it and how to make it work for your space.

Do you do specialty glass for businesses?

Absolutely. Etched logos, dip-tech branded glass, antique mirror feature walls, and custom signage are popular with restaurants, bars, salons, and retail spaces. See our commercial glass page for more.
