What to Expect with Same-Day Glass Cutting Services

Need Glass Cut Today in Austin? Here's How It Works:

Whether you’ve broken a tabletop, need a quick custom pane for a project, or are simply replacing a piece of glass in a cabinet, waiting days or weeks isn’t always an option. That’s where same-day glass cutting comes in.

At Alamo Glass in Austin, we specialize in glass-cutting services that are fast, accurate, and affordable—often completed. At the same time, you wait within a few hours. Here’s what you can expect when you come to us for custom, same-day glass cutting in Austin.

What Types of Glass Can Be Cut Same-Day?

We cut a wide variety of custom glass pieces daily, and most standard options can be turned around same-day.

Here’s what we can typically cut on the same day:

• Tabletop glass
• Cabinet door glass
• Picture frame or art glass
• Shelving glass
• Glass inserts for doors or windows
• Protective glass for furniture

We stock 1/4”, 3/8”, and 1/2” clear glass in-house, along with tempered and patterned options like Pattern 62 and Rain, depending on the use case.

Custom edge finishes, such as flat polish or pencil polish, are also available. We’ll walk you through which one best suits your project.

What You Should Bring (and What We’ll Handle)

To ensure a quick and accurate cut, we recommend bringing:

• A physical template (especially for irregular or curved shapes)
• Precise measurements (length, width, thickness)
• Any hardware or frame pieces the glass needs to fit inside

Don’t worry if you’re unsure—we’re happy to help you double-check sizing before we begin cutting.

While we don’t provide wrapping materials, we recommend bringing moving blankets or padding when picking up larger pieces. Need guidance on how to transport glass safely? Ask our team—we do this every day!
