How Do You Replace A Glass Tabletop?
Glass tabletops are made out of tempered glass. Though they are difficult to break, it does happen occasionally. It is important to get a replacement made out of tempered glass, since regular glass breaks into dangerous shards rather than little pebble-like pieces. Tempered glass needs to be cut to the pattern before it is tempered. This means that your glass table top will need to be made to order, unless the glass is already cut to your specifications. Start with the shape that the replacement glass needs to be to fit in the frame of the table top. Rectangular, square, octagon, round and oval are common. The table frame also may have rounded corners, which you will need to specify when you order the replacement. If it has an odd shape, you will need to trace the exact shape and size of the pattern on a large sheet of heavy-duty paper. Decide on the kind of edge you would like. Some options are pencil edge, flat edge, beveled edge or waved edge. The edge can be left plain or finished
