How to Measure for Custom Glass Table Tops Without Guesswork
Updated July 6, 2026 · By paveking_admin · LightGate Glass Field Team
For a glass table top, the safest measurement is not always the exact size of the table base. Overhang, corner radius, glass thickness and edge finish change the final order.
Checklist
- Measure width and depth at multiple points
- Decide flush fit or overhang
- Trace unusual shapes on paper or cardboard
- Choose flat polish, pencil polish or bevel
- Use bumpers between glass and base
Estimate size and weight with the glass size calculator, then see custom glass.
