Glass Cutting & Custom Fabrication — What to Expect
A tempered glass tabletop cut to an unusual shape, a shelf insert for a built-in bookcase, replacement glass for a single-pane window, a picture frame panel, or switch plate covers in matching glass — these projects all require accurate measurement, clean cuts, and proper edge finishing. Off-the-shelf glass panels rarely match non-standard dimensions.
Colfax Glass cuts flat glass in standard, tempered, and laminated varieties. We stock common thicknesses from 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch and can source specialty glass for unusual requirements. Edge treatments include seamed, flat polished, beveled, and pencil polished finishes — chosen based on whether the edge is exposed or set into a frame.
Tempered glass cannot be cut after tempering. We order it cut to your exact dimensions and have it tempered at the factory. Accurate measurements are critical since the finished piece cannot be modified. Standard tempered orders take 5-7 business days. Regular flat glass cuts are often ready same-day or next-day.
Common projects include glass tabletops for dining and coffee tables, glass shelving for display cases and bathrooms, replacement panes for older windows, cabinet door glass, fireplace screen panels, and cover plates for light switches and outlets. Bring in the broken piece or give us the dimensions and we will match it.
Glass Cutting & Custom Fabrication for Auburn, CA Homes
Auburn is the Placer County seat and sits at about 1,200 feet elevation where Highway 49 meets I-80. The city has a wide range of housing: historic structures in Old Town Auburn, mid-century ranch homes throughout the central neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions climbing the hillsides east of town. Each of these building types presents different glass and window challenges. Old Town buildings often have original wood-frame windows with irregular dimensions, while tract homes from the 1970s and 1980s typically need aluminum-frame replacements upgraded to vinyl or fiberglass.
Auburn's climate is moderate compared to higher foothill towns, but summer temperatures still exceed 100 degrees on the hottest days. Solar heat gain is a real concern, especially for west-facing windows on homes without mature tree cover. We specify Low-E coatings and argon-filled units as standard for Auburn projects. For homes in the tree-heavy ravine areas near the confluence, moisture management and proper window flashing matter more than in the drier ridge neighborhoods.
Colfax Glass is about 25 minutes from most Auburn addresses. We serve the full Auburn area including North Auburn, the Highway 49 corridor toward Cool, and properties along Foresthill Road. Our familiarity with Placer County building codes and permit requirements helps keep projects on schedule.
