where to get glass cut

[Der ABT]

Looking for a place to cut some glass for me and having trouble finding one that can do small pieces

 

Looking for 3/8th glass squares as small as 4*3 1/8 for an external overflow

Thanks for any help

I don't know about that small, but I had Del Ray Glass do some work for me when I was building my sump.

I would recommend Del ray as well.. They are right up the street from my work and ive used them before and was pleased with the work.

If you have the glass I can cut it for you.

Gaithersburg Glass Co. cut a 47" strip for me that was only 1" wide. They cut it by hand because it was too narrow for the cutting thing.

I'm trying to contact them to get something similar cut and I only get their machine when I call and no response so far from emailing them. Maybe I'll have to drive over there.

AlanM, What size glass and thickness are you looking for?

[AlanM]

6mm graylite black (actually dark gray) or other dark tinted glass to see how much a glass internal overflow box would cost. 4 pieces total

 

4 inches tall on the sides,

3 inches tall in the front (to provide for water to fall over the front edge),

36 inches wide,

1 inch front to back (bottom piece).

 

Then I'd probably get a clear glass box with 4 sides, dimensions of 5"x5"x36" to silicone behind the tank and I'd cut 4 1.5" holes in the back wall to link the internal box with the external box where the plumbing actually is.

 

I've contacted Adam to build me something nice out of acrylic to cover the plumbing part in the back since it won't be in the wall.

i would go acrylic on the inside and glass on the outside...that way you can go nice and skinny inside the tank and not take up much room/light.....also since it wont hold much water it doesnt need to be glass.

 

for the outside box definately want glass.....

 

thats what im doing at least

Yeah. Still thinking about that. How big will your inside box be?

 

Was thinking glass for adhesive issues rather than structural, mostly. Heard silicone doesn't stick well long term to acrylic so was going to use it for looks around glass rather than for water holding maybe.

Full Service Glass in Manassas had excellent customer service when I used them for my sump build. They cut me 5 pieces and had it done less than 2 hours after I called.
