Suggestions needed for tinting glass

Jan 02, 2005 2 Replies

I need suggestions for tinting glass for two pieces of furniture I am building, an entertainment center and a book case.



I'd like a smokey/dark tint, just to 'hide' the cabinet contents.



I'm a woodworker with no experience working with glass.



I've found what appears to be a good source 1/4" tempered glass in standard sizes, for about a third the price of custom work which allowed tinting as an option.



Is tinted film my only choice?



ThankX, Ron


No you can buy grey tinted window glass like is used in buildings and have it cut to size and tempered. In this usage, you may not have to have it tempered depending on the sizes of the panes.
