Cabinet Glass

Information and options for cabinet glass

Clear glass in cabinets is the standard and can be great to show off your fancy dinnerware or knick knacks, but when it comes to food or basic dishes some of us prefer to hide what's behind the glass. Obscure glass is a great way to provide an updated look and hide the contents of the cabinet. Patterned or obscured glass can be used in conjunction with clear glass as well depending on the look you are seeking.

The standard thickness for glass in cabinets is 1/8" which is light enough that your door won't feel heavy, but thicker than single strength glass so it's not as easily broken. There is also the option to have tempered glass in your cabinets as well. There aren't as many obscure pattern options available in tempered glass, but tempered glass is much harder to break. Tempered glass is a safety glass and when the glass breaks it will break into little pieces to reduce the risk of injury.

Before I started working for a glass company I thought I had to go to a cabinet shop in order to get glass for my cabinets, but that is not the case. Glass company's are the ideal place to purchase your cabinet glass as they are the direct source to the manufacturer where as cabinet shops quite often purchase glass from glass companies. Our office sells both clear annealed and tempered glass and offers in store installation of glass, for a very reasonable price, as well. If you prefer to install the glass in your cabinets yourself they are most often installed using silicone, but it depends on the material of your cabinets.

Storefront Door Repair

By Stephanie C • 22 May, 2019

When you own a business the first point of contact with a customer is through the front door. Problems with the door can potentially give customers a negative first impression of your company. Here is an overview of the issues that can arise with your storefront doors and the typical reasons behind the problems.

Customer Reviews

"I was selling my property and had two windows that needed replacing. One had thermal seal failure and one was broken. I had gotten a quote from a “window” company and they said the whole window plus the transom above it would have to be replaced and their cost was over 1700.00. I called another glass company and they have yet to call me back to even come out and look at replacing the glass only. I called Huntsville Glass and I believe they came out within 2 days to measure and give me a quote. It was under 600.00. After I gave them the go ahead to order the replacement glass I was told it would take 2-3 weeks and that was fine with me but they came in at least a week sooner and they installed them within two days of calling me to say they were in!! John and James arrived right on time and were finished quickly and left behind no mess. The even answered my questions and explained the process to me patiently. I will definitely use them again! I appreciate their exemplary customer service!"

"I was very pleased with the replacement of a window in a double door, which was installed by Mr. May and Mr. Davis. They were on time, worked very efficiently, and were most pleasant to talk to.

In addition, when my plantation blind was removed, there was decay on frame that I was unaware of. They were able to repair the damage, which would have been extra expense for me if I had to call in an extra repairman.

This is the third project that Huntsville Glass has assisted me with; therefore, I am very comfortable calling when I have another project."

"We had a storm window recently broken while the yard was being mowed. We called Huntsville Glass who was very friendly and helpful. Two employees came out that day to measure for a repair quote which we received the next day. Those two employees John May and James Davis Sr. came back to the repair work. They were friendly and knowledgeable in doing their work. They also made sure that the window area was clean and no broken glass fell on the ground. Thank you so much. "

"I am writing about the outstanding service provided by two of you service technicians, John May and James Davis. They arrived early, were extremely proficient in removing the existing large picture window, kept the area clean, moved the window outside to their truck, removed the frame and placed the new window into the frame. They brought the window back inside and installed it in the wall. Throughout the process, they were communicative, very professional, did the required caulking, and subsequent cleanup. I would gladly recommend your company and these two service technicians to anyone needing such service."
