Glass tabletops can be created in a wide range of shapes and sizes, thicknesses, custom edges and even with special tints or protective coatings to keep UV rays from harming your furniture’s surfaces.
A qualified design specialist will come to your location for a design consultation at your convenience. During this time you will have the opportunity to brainstorm ways to meet your glass decor needs to add a touch of distinction to your home while protecting your furniture’s surfaces from damage.
Custom Mirrors
From small vanity and bathroom mirrors to large wall or door-hung mirrors, Glass Doctor Home + Business of Austin will create custom-cut or install standard mirrors for use in just about any room in your house. Tasteful placement of mirrors will add a special decorative flair, bring in more light to an area and add the visual illusion of a larger space.

Through a partnership with numerous vendors, our team can receive in-stock door glass products faster and in a variety of designs.
Low-E Glass Windows
Low-E glass, which is short for low emissivity, is a unique metallic coating that makes glass panes resistant to glare and prevents some of the intrusion of the sun's UV rays. This type of glass has become popular in recent years because of the numerous benefits provided, including helping protect your home's furniture, carpeting and curtains from excessive sun damage.
Low-E glass also has the ability to lower energy use in an occupancy fitted with this technology. Since visible light is permitted entry without the accompanying presence of heat rays, homes and offices with Low-E glass windows stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This allows for greater comfort control and reduces the requirement for air condition use. Replacing older windows with new, efficient Low-E insulated windows is a worthwhile investment in occupancy comfort and energy conservation.
