Buckhead Glass Table Tops
We get it — you want a table top that looks effortless, lasts, and fits your exact style. Whether you’re updating a dining room, outfitting a lobby, or designing a boutique café, a custom glass table top can deliver clarity, light, and a refined finish that other materials can’t match. At Glass Governor (Locally owned & Operated), we design and produce glass table tops tailored to your space and aesthetic
What About Glass Table Tops?
What a custom glass table top gives you
A visually lighter surface that brightens a room and visually enlarges small spaces.
A hygienic, non-porous surface that’s easy to clean and sanitary for dining and hospitality uses.
Precise fit and finish to match round, oval, square, or highly irregular bases and designs.
Design flexibility: clear, low-iron (extra clarity), tinted, frosted, or patterned options to match your interior palette.
Beyond these basics, custom glass tops protect underlying surfaces from scratches, water rings, spills, and even UV damage when you opt for tinted or specialized coatings. This makes them especially worthwhile for preserving high-value wood furniture or antique bases, adding both functionality and longevity without altering the original piece's charm.
Where Glass Table Tops Fit In
Dining table glass top protection
Location & Integration
A protective glass top for dining tables maintains the beauty of your furniture while adding an easy-to-clean, hygienic surface. In homes, where formal dining spaces often serve multiple functions, glass tops help prevent scratches, stains, and sun fading without hiding the table’s original character. Clear or low-iron glass maintains color accuracy for wood or stone tables, ensuring the surface looks its best year-round.
Installing & Pairing
We cut glass to match your dining table’s exact dimensions and shape, using tempered glass for durability and safety. Edges can be flat-polished or beveled, depending on the desired look. For added UV protection, we offer tinted or coated glass. Small bumpers are applied to allow airflow between the glass and the table, preventing moisture buildup. This approach preserves both the furniture and the room’s aesthetic.
Coffee table replacement glass
Location & Integration
Replacing coffee table glass is an opportunity to refresh the entire piece. In living rooms, a new glass top can modernize a classic base or restore a worn table to like-new condition. Glass helps the table feel less bulky, especially in smaller spaces, and works well with a variety of materials, from wood to metal to rattan.
Installing & Pairing
We fabricate replacement glass to match your existing base exactly, ensuring a snug and stable fit. Tempered glass is standard for safety, with low-iron options for higher clarity. Edge treatments like rounded corners or ogee profiles can match the style of the table base. Pair with decorative trays or books to personalize the surface while maintaining easy cleaning and durability.
Outdoor patio table glass top
Location & Integration
Outdoor patio tables benefit from durable glass tops that resist weathering and maintain a polished look through ’s hot, humid summers. Clear glass highlights decorative table frames, while tinted glass can reduce glare and heat absorption. Positioned on patios, decks, or poolside, glass tops provide a sleek surface that withstands frequent gatherings.
Installing & Pairing
We use tempered safety glass rated for outdoor use, with optional UV-resistant coatings. Edges are polished for safety, and rubber bumpers are added to prevent movement and absorb impact. Pair tinted glass with lighter frame colors to reduce heat buildup, or use frosted glass for a softer, diffused look. Our installation ensures the top stays secure even in windy conditions.
Custom desk glass cover for offices
Location & Integration
Custom glass desk covers protect the surface from scratches, spills, and wear while adding a professional finish. In offices, they can transform basic desks into sleek, modern workstations. Clear glass preserves the look of wood or metal surfaces, while frosted or tinted glass can add privacy and style.
Installing & Pairing
We measure and fabricate glass to fit your desk exactly, with polished or beveled edges for comfort. Tempered glass is standard for durability and safety. Pair with anti-slip pads to keep the cover in place without damaging the desk’s finish. Frosted glass works well for reducing glare under bright office lighting, while low-iron glass offers the clearest view of decorative materials beneath.

What to plan for
Transparent process — how a typical custom glass top project moves forward
Discovery: We talk through the intended use, style goals, and any constraints from the existing base or space.
Material review: You see samples and we discuss trade-offs between clarity, safety, and finish.
Measurement templating: Accurate on-site templating or careful dimension confirmation guides precise cutting.
Cutting, finishing, and edge work: Cutting to shape and applying the chosen edge/finish to meet the agreed look.
Delivery planning: We coordinate delivery to reduce risk during transport and to ensure safe placement.
If you value clarity in communication and predictable outcomes, this process is designed to reduce surprises and deliver the precise outcome you want. We adhere to ASTM standards for fabrication tolerances, ensuring every piece meets quality benchmarks.
Industry Standards and Safety Insights
To build trust, we follow established guidelines from the National Glass Association (NGA) and U.S. standards like ANSI Z97.1 for impact performance and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 for consumer safety. This means recommending tempered or laminated glass for most tops to minimize breakage risks. For projects, we also consider local factors like humidity and sun, suggesting UV-filtering options to prevent fading.
Design
Custom shapes and precision measurement (how we ensure a perfect fit)
Custom table tops are measured to follow the exact footprint of your base or tabletop outline. For unusual shapes — live-edge bases, sculptural frames, or vintage furniture — precise templating ensures the glass aligns with contact points and mounting hardware. We work to account for protective pads or mounting bumpers so the glass rests securely and discretely.
Common mounting choices (explained)
Discrete rubber or silicone bumpers create a gap that prevents slipping and cushions the glass against movement, while allowing airflow to prevent condensation in 's variable weather.
Metal standoffs or brackets can lift a glass top for a floating effect; appropriate selection depends on base design and weight distribution.
Adhesive bonding is used in some applications where a permanent, gap-free appearance is required; this approach is selected with safety and future maintenance in mind.
Because safety and longevity are important, we’ll discuss which mounting approach fits your table base and intended use before any cutting or finishing begins. For outdoor patios, we suggest tempered glass with weather-resistant hardware to handle pollen, storms, and sun exposure.
