002 // WHERE GLASS ORDERS BREAK

The specification needs more than width and height.

Dimensions, treatments, openings, and glass makeup all belong in the conversation.

01 · TODAY

A fraction changes the fit

A size arrives in inches and fractions, then gets retyped into a quote and a drawing. A small transcription error can mean another panel.

IN PAINLESS

Try fractional-inch and millimeter entry in Glass Studio. The drawing and perspective preview come from the same dimensions.

Fabrication needs a picture

An edge note, a hole location, or a corner treatment is easy to miss in an email chain.

IN PAINLESS

Select an edge or corner directly, add openings, and inspect the sample drawing before reviewing the design summary.

The assembly matters

Monolithic, laminated, mirror, and insulated products have different materials, thicknesses, and fabrication needs.

IN PAINLESS

Explore sample materials and insulated assemblies, including spacer cavities and a cross-section. Laminated glass is a catalog material with a defined total thickness.

Not every detail has a price

A quote can look complete even when a special notch or custom fabrication charge still needs review.

IN PAINLESS

The sample quote breaks out materials and fabrication. Unpriced sample features display Requires review instead of a complete total.

004 // QUESTIONS

What glass fabricators ask us.

How do we capture custom glass specifications accurately?

Start with a shared specification for dimensions, units, shape, glass makeup, and fabrication details. Fractional measurements, edge finishes, corner treatments, and opening locations should be reviewed together before an order reaches production.

How should glass and fabrication pricing work together?

A glass quote can combine material rates, minimum charges, fabrication charges, and dealer-specific pricing. Define which combinations have established prices and which need review, so unusual shapes or fabrication requests do not slip through as complete quotes.

Can dealers order custom products through Painless?

Painless supports guided product configuration, dealer pricing, and order submission. Your glass catalog, permitted fabrication options, and approval requirements would be mapped during implementation, along with any integration needed to carry glass specifications into live orders.

What information should reach the glass shop floor?

Operators need the reviewed dimensions and drawing, material for each pane, fabrication details, required heat treatment, and assembly information for insulated units. The handoff should also make inspection and labeling requirements clear. Connecting those specifications to your production systems is part of implementation planning.

What do we need to get started?

Bring representative orders, your glass and spacer catalog, fabrication rules, dealer price books, and production steps. We will walk through how you quote, review, manufacture, and deliver today, then identify the configuration and integration work needed for a live rollout.
