Architectural Glass: 24-Hour Fabrication Options

Fast Turnarounds for Eligible Glass Orders

Need Glass on a Tight Schedule?

From replacement panels to custom architectural glass, different projects call for different fabrication schedules. Tell us what glass you need, its dimensions and your deadline. We can review the available options and confirm a production timeline for your order.

Selected glass orders may qualify for expedited fabrication, including 24-hour service. The schedule depends on the material, finishing requirements and order approval.

24-Hour Glass Options

For eligible orders, expedited fabrication may be available when the required glass and production capacity are available. Simple cuts and standard finishing are generally easier to schedule quickly than specialty treatments or complete assemblies.

  • Pickup: Ask whether your completed order can be collected locally.

  • Shipping: Request a transit estimate separately from the fabrication schedule.

Common Requests for Expedited Fabrication

  • Clear Tempered Glass: A safety-glass option for compatible doors, partitions and fixed panels.

  • Tinted Tempered Glass: Adds color and changes the amount of light passing through the panel.

  • Low-Iron Glass: Offers a clearer appearance where glass color is a design priority.

  • Flat-Polished Edges: An edge finish for exposed glass panels.

  • Basic Hole Fabrication: Openings for compatible hardware, subject to the glass design.

24–48 Hour Glass Options*

Some orders need additional cutting, polishing or assembly. Depending on the specifications and current production schedule, a short fabrication window may be available for:

Glass and Mirror Options to Discuss

  • Clear and Low-Iron Shower Glass: Choose the appearance and thickness required for the enclosure.

  • Flat Mirrors: Cut to the dimensions needed for bathrooms, gyms or commercial interiors.

  • Beveled Mirrors: A finished-edge option that may require additional fabrication time.

  • Tinted or Reflective Glass: Review available colors, glass makeups and finishing requirements.

  • Custom Glass Panels: Specify the size, thickness, edges and any required holes or cutouts.

Share your drawings or layout when requesting a short production schedule.

Custom and Specialty Glass*

More complex glass makeups and finishes require additional production steps. These examples can help you plan, but the timeline for your order should be confirmed before scheduling installation:

  • Insulating Glass Units: Typically require several working days; ask about expedited options

  • Laminated Glass: Allow time for the selected glass and interlayer makeup

  • Spandrel Glass: Color and coating requirements affect the schedule

  • Custom Sandblasted Glass: Logos, patterns and artwork require design approval

  • Bullet-Resistant Glass: The required rating and complete glass makeup determine fabrication

  • Complete Glass Systems: Doors and other assemblies also depend on hardware and configuration

Specialty Glass Options

  • Laminated Glass: Multiple glass plies bonded with an interlayer for specified safety or design needs

  • Bullet-Resistant Glass: Manufactured in different tested makeups according to the required protection level

  • Insulating Glass Units: Multiple panes assembled into a sealed unit for use in compatible windows and façades

  • Switchable Privacy Glass: Changes between clear and opaque states when connected to its control system

  • Decorative Glass: Includes textured, sandblasted, colored and other custom finishes

  • For specialty glass and complete systems, send your specifications early so the fabrication and delivery schedule can be reviewed.
