How long does custom glass cutting take?

Standard flat glass cuts are often ready same-day or next-day. Tempered glass requires factory processing and typically takes 5-7 business days. Polished or beveled edges add 1-2 days to the turnaround.

Can tempered glass be cut to size?

Tempered glass cannot be cut after tempering — it must be ordered pre-cut and tempered at the factory. We take precise measurements to ensure the finished piece fits correctly since it cannot be modified.

What thickness of glass do I need for a tabletop?

Most glass tabletops use 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered glass. Coffee tables and end tables can use 3/8-inch. Dining tables and desks typically need 1/2-inch for strength. We recommend tempered glass for any tabletop application for safety.

Do you cut glass for picture frames?

Yes. We cut standard float glass and non-glare glass for picture frames in any size. Bring in the frame or provide dimensions. Most frame glass cuts are ready same-day.

What windows work best for Loomis heat?

Dual-pane windows with spectrally selective Low-E coatings block the most heat without darkening the view. For west-facing windows that get direct afternoon sun, we may also recommend exterior shading or tinted glazing options. The key is reducing infrared transmission while keeping your home bright.

Can you replace windows in my barn or outbuilding?

Yes. We handle glass work for agricultural and equestrian buildings, including barn windows, tempered glass panels, and fixed-lite installations. These projects are straightforward and we can usually complete them in a single visit.

Do you serve Newcastle from the same route?

Yes. Newcastle is right along our I-80 service route between Auburn and Loomis. We schedule Newcastle projects on the same days as other lower-foothill work.

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 Loomis, CA Homes

Loomis is a small town along the I-80 corridor between Rocklin and Auburn, known for its rural character, horse properties, and fruit-growing heritage. Most homes are single-family residences on lots ranging from a quarter acre to several acres. Building styles lean toward ranch-style homes from the 1970s through 1990s, with newer custom homes on the larger parcels. The town's low density and open landscapes mean many homes get full sun exposure with little shade, making solar heat gain a primary concern for window selection.

Summer temperatures in Loomis routinely hit the upper 90s and occasionally top 105 degrees. South- and west-facing windows in particular take a beating from direct sun. We recommend spectrally selective Low-E glass for Loomis homes to block infrared heat while maintaining visible light transmission. For horse property owners with barns and outbuildings, we also handle utilitarian glass work like barn window replacements and tempered glass panels for covered arenas.

Colfax Glass reaches Loomis in about 30 minutes via I-80. We serve the entire Loomis area including properties along Horseshoe Bar Road, King Road, and Brace Road. The town's proximity to both Auburn and Rocklin means we often schedule Loomis projects alongside nearby jobs for efficient routing.

“Our ranch house in Loomis was an oven in summer. They replaced all the west-facing windows with Low-E glass and the temperature difference is dramatic. Should have done it years ago.”
