Glass Solutions
Carlson Glass and Mirror provides a wide variety of glass products & services. We also repair and fabricate screens and screen doors.
Glass Tabletops & Shelves
We create indoor and patio glass tabletops as well as glass shelving.
Curious about our process?
Watch our video to see how a paper pattern can be used to create a glass tabletop. We can give you craft paper to make your own pattern as well. Set the paper on the table with weights, such as books, and use the edge of a pencil or a crayon to trace the edge of the table.
Storefront Aluminum Doors and Panels
Custom storefront panels and doors are available for your business needs. Aluminum indoor partitions available as well. We can repair old storefronts and install new ones.
Types of Glass Edging
Discover the standard edgework options for your glass project as well as the different types of safety glass that we have available. Flat polished edges are the most common for indoor glass table tops, shelves, and frameless shower doors. Below you can see the profile of each of these different edge types. The pencil edge is also popular with indoor table tops and shelves. It has a rounded look. You see beveled edges a lot on mirrors that are in frames, or frameless mirrors in bathrooms. The beveled edges are more expensive but give a nice decorative look. You occasionally see them on clear glass table inserts as well. The eased or dubbed corner uses a very slight sanding to make the corners less sharp.
Safety Glass
Safety glass is needed for doors and windows next to doors within a certain distance. Safety glass can also be necessary in certain bathroom applications. The most popular types of safety glass for those applications are tempered glass and laminated glass. Tempered glass shatters into many tiny pieces if it breaks to avoid sharp shards. It is also stronger than annealed (non-tempered) glass. Laminated glass is two panes of glass with a film between them. This keeps the glass together upon breakage.
Patterned Glass
We have many types of patterned glass. Pattern glass is great for cabinet doors or table inserts. Certain patterns can also be made into thermopanes (I.G.U.s) for a more decorative window and/or privacy. Our showroom has a display of many popular patterns installed into cabinet doors, and our office has a bin of patterned samples to look at.
Picture Framing Glass
We have non-glare glass, conservation glass, museum glass, clear glass, and conservation non-glare glass for framing.
We are selling custom frames for pictures, but we do not handle any artwork or put artwork in frames. We can order Frames from Larson-Juhl, Nielsen, and Precision Frames.
We can also put mirrors in any of our custom frames.
Screen Repair and Fabrication
We repair and fabricate screens, including patio screen doors. We can add new screening and fix certain corners and sliders on existing frames. There are several types of screening including aluminum, fiber, and pet screen. Bring in your screens any time of the year for repairs.
