🔥 The Hidden Cost of Cheap Alternatives

• Laminated plastic tops: Crack within 12 months, require frequent replacement
• Stainless steel tops: Conducts heat, increases kitchen temperatures by 8-12°C
• Granite tops: Porous surface requires constant sealing, harbors bacteria

1. What thickness should I choose for commercial applications?

For most commercial kitchens and restaurants, 6mm to 8mm provides the best balance of durability and cost. Thinner glass (3-5mm) works for decorative applications, while 10mm+ is recommended for high-impact areas like bar tops.

Pro Tip: Add a 1.5mm silicone edge seal for extra protection in wet environments.

2. How do you handle custom sizes and edge profiles?

We offer CNC cutting to ±0.5mm tolerance and can produce any edge profile including:

• Seamed edges (standard)
• Flat polished edges (premium)
• Pencil edges (semi-circular)
• OG edges (bullnose)

Custom templates and CAD files are accepted. Our Intermac CNC work center ensures precision even for complex shapes.

3. What's your lead time and shipping policy?

Standard lead time is 25-30 calendar days from order confirmation to shipment. We offer:

• Sea freight: Economical for bulk orders (>100m²)
• Door-to-door service: Available in USA/EU/Asia

All shipments include wooden crates with foam protection and moisture barriers.

4. Can you match existing bronze glass samples?

Absolutely. We use spectrophotometer color matching to ensure ±1% color consistency. Please provide:

• Physical sample (minimum 100x100mm)
• Color code (e.g., Pantone 4635 C)
• Photograph under standard lighting conditions

Sample matching is included in our $299 certification fee (waived for orders >50m²).

5. What's your payment terms?
