Confirm Glass Vitrine Specs Before You Place Your Order

t432-40

To confirm glass vitrine specs, you agree on exact dimensions, glass type and thickness, frame or fixing method, and finish, all recorded in a written specification you approve before production. Techno Kol Uzi measures on site, sends a drawing, and starts manufacturing only after your sign-off.

Why a Written Specification Comes First

A glass vitrine or partition is built to measure, so small gaps between a verbal idea and the final product can become expensive. Before any cutting starts, the factory should give you a written specification and a drawing that shows the layout, sizes and materials in one place.

Read the document slowly. Check that every dimension, the glass type and the finish match what you discussed. If something is missing, ask for it to be added now rather than after production.

Measuring On Site

On-site measurement is the foundation of a correct order. The measurer checks the opening or the wall at several heights and points, because floors and walls are rarely perfectly level or square.

Record width and height at top, middle and bottom.
Note wall thickness, ceiling and floor finishes.
Mark door swing, handles and any obstacles.
Photograph the area from several angles.

Choosing Glass Type and Thickness

Glass choice affects safety, appearance and how the vitrine performs. Discuss whether you need clear, frosted or tinted glass, and whether safety glass is required for your use. Thickness depends on the span, the height and the load the panel must carry.

Ask the factory to confirm the exact glass specification in writing. Exact structural values are checked with the engineer for your project, so do not rely on general figures alone.

Frames, Fixings and Finish

Decide how the glass will be held: a framed system, a frameless look with point fixings, or a combination. Each option changes the profiles, the hardware and the installation sequence. Confirm the profile colour and surface finish, and whether the metal parts will be galvanized or powder coated for protection.

Also confirm sliding or hinged doors, locks, and any handles, so they are included in the specification rather than added later.

Production and Approval Steps

Once you approve the drawing and specification, the work moves to the factory. Glass is cut to the confirmed sizes, metal parts are fabricated and finished, and the components are assembled and checked against the drawing.

Any change after approval may delay the job, so review the final drawing carefully and sign off only when every detail is correct for you.

Installation and Final Check

Installation is the final stage. The team fixes the frame or fixings to the structure, sets the glass panels, and checks levels, alignment, door operation and sealing. Clear any remaining questions with the installer before they leave the site.

After installation, inspect the vitrine together with the team, confirm that all parts match the approved specification, and note anything that needs adjustment.

Frequently asked questions

What should I bring when I ask for a vitrine quote?

Bring photos of the space, a rough sketch with approximate sizes, and a note on how you plan to use the vitrine. This helps the factory understand the request before the on-site visit.

Can I change the specification after I approve it?

Changes are possible but may affect timing and cost, so raise them as early as you can. Always confirm any change in writing before the factory updates the drawing.

Who checks the measurements?

The factory measures on site, and the drawing is based on those measurements. It is wise to re-check the key dimensions together before final approval.

Do I need an engineer to confirm glass thickness?

For larger or load-bearing glass panels, thickness and fixings should be checked with the engineer for your project. The factory can advise on the process and coordinate with the engineer.

Common mistakes to avoid

The most common error is approving a specification that leaves out the door details, fixings or finish. Another is measuring only once at one height, which can lead to panels that do not fit the actual opening.

Our recommendation

Walk the space with the measurer and the drawing in hand, and confirm each dimension aloud before you sign. Taking five extra minutes at this stage prevents most installation problems.

Summary

Confirm glass vitrine specs by measuring carefully, agreeing on glass and finish, and approving a written drawing before production begins.
