Glass shelves cut to size provide a neat, practical surface for storage or display in bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and living spaces. Made from toughened glass with polished edges as standard, they can be ordered in clear, extra-clear, grey tinted, bronze tinted or satin finishes, with thickness options from 6mm to 19mm.

A transparent shelf is ideal when you want a place for everyday essentials without covering the wall behind it. A tinted or satin finish can give a display a more decorative feel, while the smooth surface is easy to wipe after use. The result works equally well for toiletries, books or a few favourite objects.

Choose a rectangular, quadrant or triangular shelf to suit your layout. The made-to-measure service can also prepare holes, notches and rounded corners where the design requires them. Polished edges give accessible sides a smooth, finished appearance, and an optional polymer coating is available for selected applications.

Take accurate measurements of the intended position and allow for the manufacturing tolerance stated with the order. Shelf supports and brackets are sold separately, so their position, spacing and compatibility with the glass need to be planned together. The glass panel alone does not establish how much weight the finished shelf can safely carry.

Load capacity depends on the glass thickness, shelf span, number and spacing of supports, wall construction and the fixings used. Make sure the supporting wall and brackets are suitable for the items you intend to place on the shelf. Any holes or notches must be specified before the glass is toughened.

Clean the shelf with a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid concentrating heavy objects at unsupported edges and periodically check that the brackets remain secure.

Made-to-Measure Glass Shelves in Five Finishes

Extra Clear (Low Iron) Glass Shelves

Extra clear low iron glass provides exceptional clarity with reduced green tint. It is particularly suitable for modern interiors where you want the glass to appear as discreet and transparent as possible.

Grey Tinted Glass Shelves

Grey tinted toughened glass offers a stylish smoky appearance that complements modern interiors, darker furniture and contemporary bathroom fittings.

Bronze Tinted Glass Shelves

Bronze tinted glass introduces warmer tones, making it an attractive option alongside natural timber, stone and neutral interior finishes.

Frosted Satin Glass Shelves

Frosted satin glass provides a smooth, translucent finish that helps diffuse light and creates a softer appearance. It works particularly well in bathrooms, dressing rooms and contemporary living spaces.

What Thickness Glass Should I Choose for Shelves?

Our made-to-measure toughened glass shelves are available in the following thicknesses:

6mm: A slimmer option to consider for smaller shelves and light decorative use, subject to suitable support.
8mm: A popular option for domestic shelving and bathroom applications.
10mm: Suitable for a range of bespoke shelving projects, depending on dimensions and supports.
12mm: A thicker option where the shelving design requires greater glass thickness.
15mm: Available for specialist shelving and bespoke design requirements.
19mm: Our thickest available option, intended for installations where its weight and support requirements can be accommodated.

Important: Shelf load capacity cannot be determined by glass thickness alone. The glass dimensions, unsupported span, bracket spacing, wall construction, load distribution and fixing specifications must all be considered.

Always check the manufacturer’s specifications for your chosen supports and seek technical advice for heavier or more complex installations.

Glass Shelf Supports and Brackets

Choosing appropriate shelf supports is essential for a secure installation. Our glass shelf supports and brackets are available in different styles and sizes to suit a range of glass thicknesses and shelf depths.

Our selection includes:

Chrome and brushed chrome shelf supports
Clamp-style brackets for compatible glass thicknesses
Supports for different shelf depths
Specialist glass shelf supports for sloping walls

Before purchasing, check the maximum permitted glass thickness, shelf depth, support spacing and load rating of your chosen brackets.

For example, our 4mm–10mm glass shelf supports are designed for compatible thinner shelves. Thicker glass may require alternative supports.

Ensure all fixings are appropriate for your wall construction and the weight of the installed shelf and its contents.

Please note: Glass shelf brackets and supports are purchased separately unless specifically stated otherwise.

How to Measure for Glass Shelves

Accurate measurements are essential when ordering glass shelving cut to size.

Measure the width: Measure the available space from left to right. For alcoves, check at several points because walls may not be perfectly parallel.
Measure the depth: Measure from the back wall towards the front edge, allowing sufficient room for the items you intend to display.
Allow for clearances: Account for any required fitting gaps, wall irregularities and installation tolerances.
Choose your thickness: Consider the shelf dimensions, span, intended load and available support options.
Check the shape: Select the appropriate rectangular or shaped glass option and supply any additional dimensions required.
Confirm any processing: Specify drilled holes, cut-outs, notches or rounded corners before manufacture.

Our online configurator allows you to enter your dimensions in millimetres and upload drawings where necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glass Shelves

Are your glass shelves made to measure?

Yes. Our toughened glass shelves are manufactured to the dimensions and processing requirements you provide when ordering.

Can I order floating glass shelves?

Yes. Our glass panels can be used to create a floating-style shelving installation when paired with suitable supports. The appearance and maximum supported load depend on the bracket design and installation method.

Are glass shelf brackets included?

No. The product price is for the made-to-measure glass panel. Browse our glass shelf brackets to choose suitable supports separately.

Can I have frosted or tinted glass shelves?

Yes. We offer clear, extra clear low iron, grey tinted, bronze tinted and satin toughened glass finishes.

What is the strongest glass thickness for shelving?

Thicker glass can offer greater strength for a given design, but choosing the correct shelf specification requires consideration of the unsupported span, mounting arrangement and intended load. Thicker glass is also heavier, so the supports and wall fixings must be suitable.

Are toughened glass shelves safe?

Toughened glass is designed to have greater resistance to impact and thermal stress than ordinary annealed glass. If broken, it typically fragments into smaller pieces. However, toughened glass can still break and must be correctly supported, installed and used within its design limits.

Can glass shelves be used in bathrooms?

Yes. Glass shelving is a practical option for bathrooms when installed using supports and fixings suitable for the conditions, wall construction and intended load.

How do I clean toughened glass shelves?

Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth with a suitable glass cleaner or mild soapy water, then dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning products and protect exposed glass edges against impact.
