PLATE GLASS

Description: This comes 1/4 inch thick and in various sizes, with beveled edges.

Buying information: It is used on coffee tables, countertops, and other surfaces.

How-to hints: It takes more skill, but it can be cut the same way as single- and double-strength glass; warming it in the sun makes the job easier. The edges can be sanded smooth after cutting to make them less likely to chip and crack, but do this only with silicon carbide sandpaper.
