Cutting

Wheaton Custom Glass cuts glass with the precision the industry requires. Pieces of glass can be cut to exact dimensions without the worry of excess or waste.

Grinding

The process of grinding creates flat surfaces that make it easy to join components together. This reduces the time and cost needed to achieve advanced processes at any facility.

Step Grinding

Step Grinding is the process of grinding into the wall of a glass fitting without going through. It creates a small step in the lip of the fitting that can be used to produce a more efficient seal.

Polishing

Polishing creates a smooth finish which is ideal for components that have exposed edges. It is an economic and efficient alternative to grinding.

Beveling

Beveling creates angles on glass pieces that meet customer needs and specifications. Wheaton Custom Glass has the ability to bevel both the inside and outside diameter of glass pieces to provide as uniquely a beveled edge as desired.

Sandblasting

Sandblasting creates a matte appearance on glass pieces which is often referred to as "frosted." This process gives glass the unique finish that may be required for specific applications.

Drilling

Wheaton Custom Glass has the ability to cleanly drill holes into glass which is often necessary when working with hanging glass pieces as well as in lighting applications.

Lathing

Lathe work is available for scientific, artistic, and architectural applications. Wheaton Custom Glass specializes in a variety of techniques including round-bottoming, flat-bottoming, flaring and custom apparatus work.

Overflow

Wheaton Custom Glass has the capacity to handle overflow work as customer's operations demand.

Coatings

A variety of coatings are available including silverization and heat resistant coatings.

Silanization

Silanization is a process which creates a chemical reaction in the surface of the glass. This translates into a non-stick surface for liquids and powders which reduces the amount of liquid left in a container and eliminates a meniscus when measuring exacting amounts.

Cleaning

We can provide particulate cleaning, sterile cleaning, surface cleaning, EPA cleaning, and TOC cleaning.

Tempering

Tempering is a process that heats the glass for a specific amount of time to release certain atoms. This provides a stronger level of heat resistance than normal glass.

Lamination

Lamination combines different sizes of tubing to achieve custom outside diameter / inside diameter combinations.

Screening and Decaling

Screening and decaling is the process of printing directly onto the glass. This allows company logos or measuring information to be placed on any glass product.

Customization

Wheaton Custom Glass has the ability to meet most customization needs based on customer specification. Shipping and packaging requirements can be met.
