What to Include When Requesting a Glass Quote

Company & project

• Company name, contact name, email and phone number.
• Project name and location, plus your project, quote or other reference number.
• Quote deadline and any relevant specification or glazing schedule.

Product & specifications

• Product type, glass thickness, color, coating and any specified performance requirements.
• Glass type and required annealed, tempered, heat-strengthened or laminated construction.
• For patterned or textured glass, identify the actual glass pattern, texture and required orientation. This is different from a physical paper template for a shape.

Quantities & finished sizes

• Quantity for each size, with finished glass width × height and units of measurement.
• Line, opening, room or elevation tags that match your schedule and drawings.
• Clearly distinguish finished glass sizes from opening dimensions or preliminary dimensions. Identify dimensions that still need confirmation.

Insulating glass make-up

• Outboard and inboard glass thickness, type and color, including any tempering, heat-strengthening or laminated requirements for each lite.
• Low-E coating and specified coating surface, plus total unit thickness.
• Spacer type, size and color, airspace and specified gas fill.
• Muntin requirements: layout, profile, color and dimensions, with matching tags.

Drawings & fabrication

• Dimensioned drawings for shapes, holes, notches and cutouts, including their sizes and locations.
• Edgework, finished orientation and any face or viewing-direction requirements.
• Drawing number, revision and date. Identify changes clearly and keep tags consistent across the quote request and drawings.
• If a shape requires a physical paper template, coordinate it with your account manager. Identify the piece and orientation, and arrange pickup or drop-off and return needs.

Delivery & project phases

• Delivery address, site contact and phone number, or your pickup preference.
• Site access restrictions, receiving hours and unloading arrangements.
• Requested delivery date, project phases and any separate releases. Include tags that identify the glass for each phase or destination.
• Have your account manager confirm delivery dates for the destination and route. Production completion and delivery are separate milestones.
