You’re not looking for someone who can cut glass. You need someone who can cut it right the first time—no thermal stress cracks, no chipped edges that need grinding down, no material waste from botched attempts.
Waterjet cutting handles what traditional methods can’t. Cut glass up to 9 inches thick without generating heat. Create curves, interior cutouts, and intricate patterns that would take months to master with conventional scoring techniques. The edge quality comes out smooth enough that most projects skip secondary finishing entirely.
Architects in Woodmere, NY use this for custom facade panels and interior partitions. Contractors rely on it for one-off residential projects where standard sizes don’t fit. Artists create detailed glass installations without worrying about shattering expensive materials. If your project requires precision and your timeline doesn’t allow for do-overs, this is how you get it done.
We serve contractors, architects, glaziers, and designers throughout Nassau County and the broader Long Island area. We’ve built our reputation on handling the glass cutting jobs that require actual expertise—not just running material through a machine and hoping it works out.
Woodmere’s mix of residential renovation projects and commercial builds means you need a fabricator who understands both worlds. We work with everyone from homeowners doing custom kitchen backsplashes to commercial glass companies fulfilling large architectural contracts. Our facility handles low-volume custom work and high-volume production runs with the same attention to accuracy.
You’re working with people who understand that broken glass costs you time, money, and credibility with your clients. That’s why we focus on getting cuts right the first time.
You send us your design specs—CAD files, drawings, or even sketches if that’s what you’re working from. We review dimensions, glass type, and thickness to confirm the project parameters before cutting begins.
The glass gets secured on the cutting bed. Our CNC waterjet system uses a high-pressure stream of water mixed with fine abrasive to cut through the material. No heat means no thermal stress. No scoring and snapping means no risk of the glass fracturing along unintended lines. The waterjet follows your exact design path, whether that’s straight cuts, tight radius curves, or interior cutouts that traditional methods struggle with.
Once cutting finishes, we inspect edge quality and dimensional accuracy. Most projects are ready to install as-is. If your application requires it, we can coordinate additional finishing, but the waterjet process typically produces edges clean enough to skip that step. You get your cut glass on the timeline we agreed to, ready for installation.

You get cuts that hold tolerances tight enough for architectural glazing systems. You get the ability to work with laminated glass, tempered glass, and specialty materials without changing processes or worrying about heat compromising the laminate layers.
Nassau County’s construction market runs on deadlines. Delayed glass fabrication holds up entire projects. Our waterjet system processes glass faster than traditional cutting and grinding methods, which matters when you’re coordinating with other trades. We handle rush jobs when your project timeline gets compressed, and we maintain the same accuracy standards regardless of turnaround speed.
Woodmere contractors and designers also benefit from reduced material waste. Waterjet cutting is precise enough that you’re not ordering extra material to account for mistakes. That matters when you’re working with expensive specialty glass or trying to maximize yield from larger sheets. The process produces minimal waste—what does come off can often be repurposed for smaller applications rather than ending up in a dumpster.
We cut standard float glass, laminated glass, tempered glass, and specialty architectural glass. Thickness capacity goes up to 9 inches, which covers everything from standard window glass to thick structural panels.
Laminated glass is particularly well-suited for waterjet cutting because there’s no heat to compromise the interlayer. Tempered glass needs to be cut before tempering since the process locks in internal stresses, but we work with glass companies who handle tempering after we complete the cutting. If you’re working with decorative glass, textured glass, or low-iron glass for high-clarity applications, the waterjet handles those without issue.
The key limitation isn’t the glass type—it’s whether your design is physically achievable. If you can draw it, we can usually cut it.
Waterjet cutting holds tolerances within a few thousandths of an inch. For architectural applications, that level of precision means panels fit into framing systems without gaps or forced adjustments during installation.
CNC control eliminates the human error factor you get with manual cutting methods. The machine follows your CAD file exactly, which is critical when you’re fabricating multiple identical pieces or creating patterns that need to align across large installations. If you’re doing a glass facade with repeating design elements, every piece comes out dimensionally consistent.
This precision also matters for interior applications like custom shower enclosures or glass partitions where panels need to meet at specific angles. You’re not dealing with the slight variations that come from hand-guided cutting tools.
Yes. Waterjet excels at complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible with traditional methods. Interior cutouts—like rectangular openings in a glass panel or curved notches—are straightforward because the waterjet stream is narrow enough to navigate tight radiuses and make sharp direction changes.
This capability opens up design options that contractors and architects often assume aren’t feasible. You can create organic curves, geometric patterns, or functional cutouts for hardware without switching to secondary processes. The same setup that cuts the outer perimeter also handles any interior details in a single operation.
Artists and designers use this for decorative installations where the pattern itself is the focal point. If your design includes fine details or repeating elements that need to be identical across multiple pieces, waterjet cutting maintains that consistency better than manual methods.
Traditional glass cutting uses scoring and breaking, which works fine for straight cuts on thinner glass. It falls apart when you need curves, thick material, or interior cutouts. Waterjet doesn’t have those limitations.
There’s also no heat-affected zone with waterjet cutting. Traditional grinding and cutting methods generate friction heat that can create internal stresses in the glass. Those stresses sometimes don’t show up until later—during installation or even after the glass is in place—when temperature changes cause the glass to crack along those stress lines. Waterjet eliminates that risk entirely.
Edge quality is another differentiator. Waterjet produces smooth edges that often don’t require additional grinding or polishing. That saves time and labor cost, especially on projects with extensive linear footage of cut edges. You’re getting finished-quality edges straight from the cutting process.
Turnaround depends on project complexity and our current production schedule, but most custom glass cutting projects are completed within a few days. Simple cuts on standard glass can often be done faster. Complex designs with multiple pieces or specialty glass may take longer.
We prioritize clear communication about timing upfront. If you’re working against a tight installation deadline, let us know when you request a quote. We can often accommodate rush projects when needed, especially for local Woodmere and Nassau County contractors who need quick turnaround to keep projects moving.
The CNC waterjet process itself is fast—it’s the setup, quality verification, and coordination that determine total turnaround time. Once we have your approved design file and material specifications confirmed, the actual cutting happens efficiently. We’ll give you a realistic completion date when you place the order, and we stick to it.
We work with both. Residential projects often involve custom glass for kitchen backsplashes, shower enclosures, tabletops, or decorative installations. Commercial work includes architectural glass for building facades, interior partitions, storefront systems, and specialty applications.
The process is the same regardless of project size. Whether you’re a homeowner with a single custom piece or a contractor managing a large commercial build, you get the same precision and attention to detail. We handle one-off custom projects and high-volume production runs with equal capability.
For residential customers in Woodmere, NY, working directly with a fabricator often makes more sense than going through multiple intermediaries. You get accurate pricing, direct communication about what’s feasible, and faster turnaround. For contractors and commercial clients, we understand project coordination requirements and can work within your scheduling needs.
