Although we here at CGD Glass Countertops are a Canadian company, we can’t help but feel enthusiastic when big summer holidays like the Fourth of July roll around. Though there may not be any barbeques and fireworks here on that day, but summer has arrived nonetheless.

That means you’ll be doing more outdoor entertaining than ever. Now is the perfect time to dust off your outdoor kitchen island! What if you don’t have a kitchen island to call your own? Just reach out to us at CGD Glass Countertops. Countertops are what we specialize in, but customers love our kitchen islands just as much.

Glass is a great material that is ideal for outdoor cooking and entertaining. Here are some of our favorite features of our outdoor glass kitchen islands.

No Need to Worry about Sun Fading

Don’t you hate when you invest in a beautiful piece of outdoor furniture only to find that after a year or two, all that sun exposure has damaged and faded it? That won’t happen with a glass kitchen island. Even if you get your glass backpainted (a unique service offered here at CGD Glass Countertops), your colors will last for years. Glass surfaces can handle a bit of sun exposure without fading or getting too hot. You can’t say the same thing about your metal outdoor furniture.

Durable in Many Conditions

It’s not always beautiful and sunny every day, even in the summer. Sometimes it’s windy and rainy. Depending on what kind of outdoor furniture you have, you may have to move it each time a storm rolls in. After all, you would hate for your metal surfaces to get wet or your cushions to be waterlogged.

Don’t worry about that with your glass outdoor kitchen island. It can handle a bit of rain.

Cleaning Is as Easy as One-Two-Three!

If you have stains and messes to clean up, you won’t need to expend much effort with glass. Just grab a soft cloth, some soap, and water, and you’ve got everything you need for the kitchen island to look spotless. There’s no need to invest in expensive specialized cleaners again and again.

Speaking of cleaning, if you’re concerned about germs, you don’t have to be with an outdoor glass kitchen island. Since the cleaning surface is totally flat, there are no small crevices and corners in which germs can hide. Once you wipe up the kitchen island, all germs are gone.

Reliable Beauty Year after Year

Glass is such a stunning material for kitchen islands, countertops, bartops, and many other items. Each year that you go outside to use your outdoor glass kitchen island for the first time that season, you’ll be amazed and inspired by its boundless beauty. Glass requires minimal upkeep, just that you clean it and use it carefully. If you do, you should expect years and years of enjoyment.
