    • Whether or not your cabinet door has a trim piece that covers the edge of the glass. This is often called “coverage”

Timeline

  • Timing to complete your project depends on your glass selection and whether or not we have the material in stock. Usually cabinet doors take a few days to turn around, but this varies. We will include information about timing in your quote.

  • Timing to receive a quote takes less than a business day once we have all your information

  • If you can bring the doors to our shop and pick up from us, this makes timing much quicker.


Taking Off / Re-hanging Cabinet Doors

  • The simplest way is to handle this part of your project with your GC, handyman, or yourself. Cabinet doors are typically very simple to mount and unmount, so we advise taking care of this part of your project without our help.

  • If you do need us to remove your doors, let us know and we will advise on next steps.


Other Considerations and Options

  • Shatter-proof tape If you cabinet doors are in a very high use situation, some customers prefer having a plastic film applied to the back of mirror panels. This film prevents shattering.

  • Tempering some textured glass can be tempered but not all. If your project requires tempering, please let us know.
