Glass Table Top Edge Styles

The beauty of using glass as a tabletop or countertop is the variations of styles and surfaces that you can choose from. There is such a variety of options to choose from when using glass which makes it ideal for any home project and ensures that you will be able to find the right style for you. Below are a few options of glass table top and countertop edge styles that are available to you.

Along with many variations in the surface texture of the glass countertop, such as sanded, melted, pixels, and linear, we also offer a variety of table top edge styles. Many people don’t realize that the edges of your table or countertop are just as essential in design as the surface itself. It can really tie a room together with the right edge style. Lets go over the options that are available.

The “brushed polished” edge is one of the most popular. This look is accomplished by brushing down the side and leaving it with an opaque finish. This is a great look for kitchens or bathrooms.

The “textured edge” is used for that natural finish and usually used in combination with the sanded or melted tabletop finish. The textured edge gives the glass a rough bumpy edge that is perfect if you are going for a less manufactured finish.

The “fire polished” finish is one of the most popular finishes for kitchen and bathroom settings. The fire polished look is clean and clear, it allows you to actually see the texture inside the tabletop and creates a sharp modern look for any kitchen or bathroom.

We offer a variety of colors, textures, thickness and surfaces to assist you in finding the perfect fit for your home or office. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions on the different finishes and how they can be applied in your home or office.

How Durable are Glass Countertops?

Recently, glass countertops have seen a resurgence in popularity. Glass countertops provide an excellent choice for any home and are breaking the mold of standard materials used in home building. Not only are glass countertops strong and durable, they are also absolutely stunning. Most people think of glass countertops for their beauty but what many don’t know is how durable glass countertops truly are.

Glass countertops have incredible strength and durability because they are not susceptible to cracking or chipping under normal wear and tear conditions. In fact, their strength and durability equals even the most common countertop materials like marble and granite. Additionally, glass countertops are heat and stain resistant as a result of their non-porous surface. Glass countertops won’t scorch, burn, or melt. In fact, the only product that compares to the durability of glass is quartz.

Unlike other materials like granite and marble, glass countertops require very little maintenance. As a result, glass countertops don’t show signs of aging like some of their stone counterparts. They also do not need any special sealant like other stone countertops. Their non-porous surface makes the countertops very hygienic and easy to clean. It is difficult for germs and bacteria to hide on the surface of glass. All you need to do is clean the countertops with regular glass cleaner and a soft sponge. It’s literally that easy. Make sure not to use an abrasive or strong chemical to clean your countertops.

Although tempered glass countertops are extremely strong, it may chip, scratch, or break if you drop an excessively large object on it or if you are constantly putting it through a substantial amount of abuse. However, if you make an effort to take care of your glass countertops they will look as great as the first day you had them put in your home. This is one of the many reasons why glass countertops are so popular right now.
