In-house custom cutting and fabrication changes four things for your project. First, lead time: when a shop cuts and tempers under one roof, the glass moves from cut list to handoff without an out-of-state shipping leg, which compresses the timeline by about a week.
Second, spec accuracy: the same team that reviews the cut list or measures the opening cuts, edges, drills, tempers, and inspects the panel, so the spec does not drift across hand-offs. Third, custom shapes, holes, notches, and edge work are done in-shop on the same panel that gets tempered, with geometry verified before the kiln. Fourth, single-shop accountability: one call covers the spec, the cut, the temper, and the handoff, with drop-off and pickup at three Northern Colorado locations. (See parent capability: Heavy Glass Fabrication & Tempering Northern Colorado.)
Straight rectangular panels run any size from small replacement panels through architectural spans, with thicknesses from 1/8 inch through 3/4 inch. Shaped cuts (circles, ovals, irregular geometries) are cut to a drawing or template. Holes from 1/4 inch through 3 inches are drilled for hardware, plumbing, and fixtures, with corner notches and outlet cutouts to spec.
Edge work covers flat-polished, beveled, ogee, seamed, and pencil-polished finishes, finished in-shop before tempering. In-house tempering runs in the same workflow, with every safety-glass panel cut, edged, drilled, and tempered under one roof. Laminated configurations run in-house or with an established laminator partner for impact-rated or acoustic assemblies.
Contract cutting for builders and cabinet shops covers batch work: replacement panels, cabinetry inserts, display-case glass, casework, and furniture tops. Glass options include clear, low-iron (Starphire-equivalent), frosted, textured, and back-painted. For full heavy-glass-wall installs, see Commercial Glass Installation & Heavy Glass Walls Northern Colorado; for architect-spec-led engineered glazing products, see Custom Manufactured Glazing Products Northern Colorado.
Custom cutting runs the full spectrum: 1/8 inch for picture frames and small panels; 3/16 inch for cabinet inserts and shelving; 1/4 inch for mirrors, tabletops, and light partitions; 3/8 inch tempered for heavy-glass panels; 1/2 inch tempered for larger spans; and 3/4 inch tempered for architectural-span applications. Laminated configurations are available for impact-rated or acoustic-upgraded assemblies.
Edges, holes, and notches finish in-shop on the same panel that enters the kiln, because no edge or hole work can be done after tempering. Each panel is heated to roughly 600 to 700°C, then rapidly quenched with high-pressure air jets, leaving the glass 4 to 5 times stronger than annealed and producing the small-pebble break pattern required by ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Cat. II. Glass options include clear, low-iron, frosted, textured, and back-painted.
Moffat handles custom glass cutting and fabrication for builders, GCs, remodelers, and cabinet shops across Northern Colorado, including low-rise commercial projects up to 4 stories. Custom-home builders use us for replacement panels, custom-shape windows, shelving, tabletops, and mirror glass. Remodelers send replacement glass for windows and doors, custom shower-glass cuts, and custom-fit cabinetry inserts.
General contractors on low-rise commercial TI use us for replacement panels, conference-room cuts, retail display panels, and custom partition cuts. Cabinet shops and custom furniture fabricators run batch contract cuts for cabinet glass, display-case glass, casework, and point-of-purchase displays. Interior designers spec custom shapes and low-iron, textured, or back-painted glass for design-led projects. Contractor markets run across the Greeley and Evans corridor, Loveland mixed-use, Fort Collins high-end residential, and the Windsor and Johnstown growth corridor. Homeowners are welcome for direct custom shower, wine wall, partition, or tabletop projects.
Since 1921, Moffat has cut, tempered, and fabricated custom glass across Northern Colorado, with over a century of in-house craftsmanship anchored in three locations (Evans HQ, Loveland, and Fort Collins) serving Larimer and Weld County contractors. We hold BBB Northern Colorado A+ accreditation, National Glass Association (NGA) membership, and PCC (Partners in Construction) safety certification for GC and builder bid qualification, plus our Shower Door Professionals Co-op affiliation and our Greeley and Evans Chamber memberships.
Commercial heavy-glass cuts and door systems pair with commercial hardware from FHC (Frameless Hardware Company), our commercial hardware partner for low-rise work up to 4 stories. Where Moffat handles the install, every panel is set by Moffat technicians, never subcontracted, on an industry-standard workmanship warranty backed by 100+ years of in-house craft.
Moffat cuts glass from 1/8 inch through 3/4 inch, with in-house tempering on 3/16 inch and thicker panels where safety glass is required. Thinner glass (1/8 inch, 3/16 inch) handles picture frames and cabinet inserts; 1/4 inch covers mirrors and tabletops; 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch tempered cover heavy-glass panels; 3/4 inch tempered serves architectural spans. Confirm the spec with your cut list or on-site measure.
Yes. Moffat cuts custom shapes (circles, ovals, irregular geometries), drills holes from 1/4 inch through 3 inches, and cuts corner notches and outlet cutouts in-shop before tempering. Shaped panels and hole placements need a drawing or template from the contractor or designer. All edge work and cutouts finish before the panel enters the kiln. Send your drawing at quote-request to confirm scope.
Most custom glass cutting and fabrication projects ship in 1 to 2 weeks from approved measurement or cut list at Moffat, compared with 2 to 3 weeks for vendors who outsource fabrication to out-of-state shops. The mechanism is structural: we cut, edge, drill, temper, and inspect every panel in our Northern Colorado shop, with no shipping leg between the cut and the handoff. The same team coordinates with the contractor on pickup, delivery, or install timing. Very large batch contract runs or specialty laminated configurations may take slightly longer. Submit your cut list or drawing for a precise timeline.

Yes. Moffat offers contract custom glass cutting and fabrication for general contractors, builders, remodelers, cabinet shops, and custom fabricators across Northern Colorado, including low-rise commercial projects up to 4 stories. Scope includes one-off cuts, replacement panels, custom shapes, and batch contract work. Drop-off and pickup at 3 Northern Colorado locations; delivery available where the project needs it. Response within 2 business days. Submit your cut list to start the scope review.
No. All cuts, edge work, holes, and notches must be finished before glass enters the tempering kiln. Tempered glass cannot be cut, drilled, or edged after tempering: the heat treatment that strengthens the glass also locks the shape in place. Any attempt to cut tempered glass causes it to shatter into the small-pebble break pattern. Lock the final spec at the cut-list review or on-site measure.
Custom glass cutting and fabrication project costs vary widely by glass thickness, cut complexity, edge work, hole count, tempering requirement, and project volume. A single replacement panel, a shaped tempered partition, and a batch contract cut for a cabinet shop each run different ranges because the spec sets vary. Moffat prices each project after the cut-list review or on-site measure. Submit your cut list or drawings for a precise estimate.
Bring custom glass cutting and fabrication into your next project with cuts, shapes, edges, holes, and tempering all done in our Northern Colorado shop. Since 1921, Moffat has built its craft on in-house custom glass work for Larimer and Weld County builders, GCs, remodelers, cabinet shops, and custom fabricators. Send us your cut list, drawing, or project specs, and we will quote the work and the timeline, with finished panels staged for pickup at one of three locations, delivered to the job site, or installed by our own technicians.

I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass
"We needed our patio screen door replaced. Moffat answered the phone (something that 3 other businesses did not do), scheduled someone to come measure the same day, manufactured our non-standard sized door and installed it within a week. We have yet to hear from the other businesses we contacted who told us they would 'get right back' to us. The quality of customer service was very good. Everyone was friendly, professional, and expressed appreciation for our business. I do not hesitate to recommend Moffat Glass. They have been in Greeley for a long time and I can see why they have lasted."
I will absolutely be using Moffat again and I highly recommend them!

I will absolutely be using Moffat again and I highly recommend them!"
