The Glass Counter Breakfast Bar by CGD Glass

Here at CGD Glass we get a lot of great feedback from our clients on how they enjoy our products.  We have gotten many fruitful and great ideas from this feedback and one of the most common seems to be the use of our raised glass countertops as a beautiful breakfast bar.  It is a natural transition as raised bar glass countertops tend to lend themselves to a bar experience and breakfast is a great way to enjoy that experience!

Let’s take a look at some examples of our raised glass countertops and how they accommodate the breakfast bar top experience.

#1 – Thin Horizontal Extension

Although most raised glass countertops extend upward to give a “raised” experience to the existing bar top, the above example also horizontally to provide even more room for a delightful brunch.

#2 – Extended Stainless Steel Raised

This unique raised glass countertop is an ideal breakfast bar.  It is raised via stainless steel bars that extend from the floor and existing countertop adding a beautiful elevated space to enjoy breakfast and mimosas. 

#3 – Steel Substrate Raised

This is another example of a steel raised glass countertop, the difference here is that it is raised using a steel substrate which is connected directly to the existing bar top.  It is also situated right next to the stove for a personal “hibachi” breakfast experience.

#4 – LED Lit Wrap-Around Raised Countertop

Another wonderfully unique creation by CGD Glass, this raised countertop has beautiful LED under lighting and is a full wrap-around of the existing countertop for maximum extra space.  Pull up a few bar chairs and you’re ready for a wonderful breakfast experience.

As you can see the raised glass countertops we uniquely create for all of our clients are a perfect set-up for a breakfast bar in all aspects.  Our ability to create custom products for your home experience is limited only by your imagination so call or email us today to learn how we can transform your home with custom glass!
