Fabrication
Fused Quartz Glass Fabrication
Custom quartz fabrication is an additional area of expertise. We offer several quartz fabrication services, including:
Prototyping
We have worked with lighting manufacturers and quartz fabricators developing new products and processes. Our understanding of technical processes, along with the capabilities and limitations of quartz, has saved our customers precious time and money.
Fused Quartz Glass Repair
Many times, a damaged piece of quartz apparatus can be repaired for a fraction of the replacement cost. We can let you know if repair is feasible, and will give you an exact estimate of the cost and time involved.
