Cut IKEA Imperative wall panels

Hello dear Ikea fans, I actually have just a simple question. Can the glass also be cut with a regular glass cutter? I need to shorten it a bit. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hej,

since the imperative panes are made of hardened glass, as far as I know, they can only be hardly or not at all processed by amateurs. This glass is not produced like normal glass panes but under tension. At the slightest injury to the glass, it shatters into a thousand pieces.

Na.

I would like to chime in right away

ergo, you cannot shorten the Imperativ glass - but how does IKEA envision the installation if, for example, there is only space for 2.5 glass panels in width, because on the left there is a wall and on the right a Faktum tall cabinet that is screwed flush with the wall at the back??

any ideas?

Hello,
we also had this problem, our first idea:
Go to the glazier, have the missing piece cut, and paint the back white.
But then it didn’t look exactly the same as the original IKEA wall panels.
In addition, we backlit the panels, so you could see that the "hand"-painted piece of glass looked very uneven.
I just didn’t manage to get the white paint layer perfect.

That’s why I thought: if you can already see a difference between the "patched" glass pane and the original IKEA wall panels, why not make a virtue out of necessity and emphasize the difference:
So plan B: paint the glass pane with blackboard paint. Now the piece deliberately looks completely different and you can write recipes, little notes, etc. on it...

Those were our ideas... does anyone else have others?

Move the tall cabinet away, install the panels behind it, and then screw the cabinet back on with 2 spacers. Done. Oh yes, and of course DO NOT use the rail system behind the cabinet. Either glue it with construction adhesive or use two nails as support surfaces.

Well.
