Not sure how to measure a replacement pane or a new cut? Follow this and you’ll have a price in seconds.
Step 1: Pick a starting shape
- Rectangle / Square — length and width
- Circle — diameter
- Ring — outside diameter, inside diameter
- Oval, hex, triangle, and other templates — follow the fields on that product
- Fully custom — upload a DXF
Step 2: Measure
Measure the finished size you need (the cut size), not the rough stock. For rectangles: length × width. For circles: diameter across the widest point. Thickness is selected in the quoter.
Tip: a tape measure is fine for most window and table cuts. Calipers help on small precision parts.
Step 3: Choose the material
Clear, frosted, mirror, borosilicate, or polycarbonate — see the Material Guide if you’re unsure.
Step 4: Instant price
Open the matching template (or the glass builder), enter dimensions or upload a DXF, pick material and thickness, and see the price immediately. No waiting on a quote. No minimum order.
