Our glass is sold by the square foot (sq.ft.), each, or pound depending on the manufacturer and is priced in those units of measure.

Order by the SQFT Example: Wissmach full sheets are sold by the square foot and the full sheet is 9.33 sq.ft.

To order a full sheet of Wissmach Amber and White Wispy (WI145SPL), choose "Full Sheet (9.33 sqft)" from the dropdown and enter the corresponding square footage of 9.33 in the quantity field. An incorrect entry would be 1 or 2. Multiple sheets would be multiples of the indicated sq.ft. size.

Example: 2 sheets would be 18.66 in the quantity field (9.33 x 2 = 18.66)

Order by the EACH Example: Bullseye full sheets are sold by the each.

To order a full sheet of Bullseye Tomato Red Double Rolled (BE002430F), choose "Full Sheet (20" x 35")" from the dropdown and enter the quantity of sheets you would like in the quantity field. 

Example: 3 sheets would be 3 in the quantity field.

Order by the LB Example: Lustres glass is sold by the pound and a full sheet is approximately 1.5 lb.

To order a full sheet of Lustres Green Opal, Gold Finish (LUS013111), enter the corresponding weight of 1.5 in the quantity field. An incorrect entry would be 1 or 2. Multiple sheets would be multiples of the indicated weight. 

Example: 2 sheets would be 3 in the quantity field. (1.5 x 2 = 3)

Ordering Glass Cut Sheets: Glass is also sold by the smaller cut piece and the size of the piece is indicated at the end of the part number.

Example:

OGT1009SF12x12 is (1) square foot Oceanside smooth black, sold by the each. A quantity of 1 or 2 would be correct if you wanted 1 or 2 12x12’s of that color.

Transporting full sheets of glass requires a truck for shipping. If you prefer your glass not be cut, we will gladly crate your glass and ship it via motor freight. Be sure to choose LTL/Freight as your shipping method if you are placing a truck order online. Because of our extensive network and Midwest location, Ed Hoy’s continuously negotiates the best shipping rates possible and passes those savings onto you.
