CBS Dichroic Quarter Sheets

A quarter sheet is the largest everyday cut of CBS dichroic glass sold at Art Glass Supplies, and this page explains exactly what you are getting. Coatings By Sandberg (CBS) dichroic glass comes on round sheets roughly 19 inches across. A quarter sheet is one quarter of that round: a piece shaped like a slice of pie, measuring about 8.5 to 9.5 inches along each of the two straight sides with a curved outer edge.

How quarter sheets compare to other sizes

On most CBS dichroic product pages you can choose the size that fits your project: small 2"x4" and 4"x4" pieces for jewelry and test work, the quarter sheet for serious production, or a full sheet, which is the complete coated round. The quarter sheet sits in the sweet spot: enough continuous coated glass for platters, panels, and production runs of cabochons, without the cost of a full round.

Why buy by the quarter sheet

Dichroic is a premium material, and cutting the round into quarters keeps large format pieces affordable and manageable. A quarter sheet ships more safely than a full round, is easier to handle at the cutting table, and still gives you an unbroken sweep of color shift for architectural style accents, suncatchers, and large fused work. Per square inch, larger cuts are the economical way to buy dichroic glass sheets.

Finding your pattern and color

Quarter sheets are ordered as a size option on the individual product pages rather than from this page. Browse the CBS Dichroic Patterned Glass and CBS Dichroic Solid Color Glass categories, in COE90 or COE96 to match your project glass, then select your size on the product page. Black based dichroic shows the boldest mirror-like color, clear based dichroic stays transparent, and each coating is applied to fusing glass within its own COE system.
