CGD Glass Counter Tops are known for being very stylish & high quality glass that require little maintenance. Having one of our custom glass countertops in your kitchen or bathroom can be very aesthetically pleasing. Our glass counter tops are extremely durable as they are all solid piece thermoformed glass and completely non-porous. Because all of our glass products are non-porous this makes our glass countertops an excellent choice in comparison to other counter tops such as stone, granite or even marble counter tops which will sometimes absorb stains permanently or consume a lot of time in order to keep in top shape. Our glass countertops most often used with LED or RGB light, these enhanced features make glass countertops even more attractive. The above countertops were designed with our Ultra clear glass 1 1/2″ thick, melting ice texture and have LED lighting. Please send us e-mail with all specs of your project for quote.
Planning for a Bathroom Remodel: What You Need to Know about Glass Sinks and Glass Countertops

It’s a new year and you’re once again chomping at the bit to make some renovations to your home. In years past, you’ve focused on other rooms one by one, and in 2020, it’s time to give your bathroom some love.
Before you jump right into the project, you’re going to want to do your research. Here are some things to keep in mind as you proceed from the planning stages to the consultations, bills, and installation.
Budget Accordingly
No home renovation, no matter how big or small, can really get off the ground without a proper budget. It’s ideal if you spend several months, maybe longer, setting aside cash when possible so you’re financially prepared for the remodel. Remember that you’re not just paying for the price of the new bathroom addition, but installation and other fees as well.
You also want to have more money in your budget than just the entirety of the project costs. This way, if something goes wrong or an unexpected expense crops up, you won’t be caught off guard.
Start with One Fixture at a Time
You may have a complete bathroom overhaul on your to-do list, but this isn’t always necessary. What many of our CGD Glass Countertops customers have found is that by making one small but significant change to the bathroom, such as a new glass sink or vanity, that their bathroom looks brand new.
Take, for example, an issue with space. By switching out your large pedestal sink to one of our glass waterfall sinks, your sink now takes up much less room. This can open up your bathroom and make it feel bigger by only replacing a single fixture. Give it a try and see how you like your bathroom! You can always continue upgrading fixtures from there if you’d prefer.
Have a Clear-Cut Vision
If you are going for a more in-depth bathroom remodel, then you must have a strong vision and a thought-out plan for how you’d like to proceed. Documents like blueprints and even illustrations of what you want the finished product to look like can help our CGD team immensely. This is your bathroom, after all, so we want you to be happy with it.
Given the high degree of customization we offer all our customers, it’s even more important you’re clear on what you want. This is your chance to plan your bathroom the way you’ve always dreamed, so take some time and think carefully!

When Should You Plan Your Glass-Based Home Remodel? This Year or Next?

You’ve spent the past few months carefully reading the CGD Glass Countertops blog and absorbing all the information you can. Now you’re finally at the point where you’re realistically thinking about a home remodel.
Admittedly, you’ve taken your time to get here, and that’s more than okay. After all, when planning for any major home renovation, it’s going to take budgeting, research, and preparation on your part before work can begin.
There are a mere few weeks of the year (not to mention the decade) left. Should you plan your glass-based home remodel through CGD right away or wait until 2020 has officially arrived?
Here are a few questions to answer as you make up your mind.
Do You Have Room in Your Budget Around the Holidays?
Even if you started shopping for your gifts months ago, it seems impossible to avoid spending too much money during the holidays. Between parties, baking, gifts for someone you forgot about, cards, professional photos, and the like, you can feel financially burnt out. You’re far from alone in that.
Do you really want to add to the money strain by spending on a home remodel during the holiday season? If you have a pretty sizable budget for the home reno, then you might not mind so much. You can chip into that cash without touching your bank account.
For others who maybe don’t have quite as significant savings, there’s nothing wrong with waiting a few months. You can spend that time saving up money again and then finally put your project into action come the spring.
Do You Want Construction Potentially Limiting How Much of Your Home Is Available for the Holidays?
If you want an expansive home remodel, then you have to assume some rooms will be off-limits for a while. These can include the kitchen, the family room where you host Christmas morning, and the like. As we’re sure you can imagine, this can be a major deterrent to your holiday plans.
There are workarounds for this. You can always put off work in those more well-used rooms until after the holidays. If you want to start with the foyer, the den, or a spare bedroom, you can do those first. Then, in January, February, or later, you can have the CGD team tackle those major rooms like the living room or kitchen.

Christmas Decorating Tips for Your Glass Countertop

Christmastime is here again, and you’ve decked the halls with boughs of holly. Your kitchen could use a bit of holiday décor as well, but you’re not quite sure what to do with this space. There are still a few weeks until Christmas, so you’ve got plenty of time. Once you finish reading this post, we’re sure you’ll have the inspiration to whip up something beautiful.
Here are some of our top Christmas decorating tips and ideas for your glass countertop.
Garland Around the Countertop
If you’re not sure what to do with the glass countertop itself, wrapping some garland around it is one of the most classic ways to celebrate the holiday season. You can use your favorite garland in hues like rich red or deep forest green as well as metallics like festive gold or silver. Should you feel like decorating with pine garland, real or faux, you could wrap lights through it, find an outlet, and light the whole thing up. Your kitchen will glow with the holiday spirit.
Glass Jars Full of Ornaments
Have some Christmas ornaments lying around? It’s time to put them to good use! No, not on the tree, but rather, on your glass countertop. Take a few jars or glass containers of varying heights. Fill about a quarter of each container with fake snow (using colored sand, finely-ground foam, or even a faux snow product), and then put a few prized ornaments up to the top of the jar. Make sure you select ornaments of different colors for a more vivid effect.
Miniature Christmas Tree Centerpiece
No room is complete without a Christmas tree, even your kitchen. This holiday, make sure everyone knows where the central hub of the home is with your very own kitchen countertop Christmas tree. Now, this shouldn’t be huge; just a little tabletop tree will do.
You can buy a real tree or shop for a fake one, whichever you prefer. Do keep in mind that pine needles will shed off real trees, which can create a hygiene issue if you’re also using your glass kitchen countertop for food prep.
Feel free to decorate the tree, be that with a string of lights, ornaments, garland, and even a small star.

4 Ways Glass Countertops and Other Kitchen Surfaces Make Thanksgiving Prep and Cleanup a Breeze

Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner? You love cooking for close friends and family, but you have to admit the kitchen gets rather chaotic this time of year. Wouldn’t it be nice to reduce the mess and the stress this Thanksgiving? With a new set of countertops and other glass kitchen items from CGD Glass Countertops, you can.
Here are four ways having glass kitchen surfaces will make all your holiday cooking and cleanup so much easier.
1. Glass Backsplashes Safeguard Your Walls
Turkey juices, rogue corn kernels, and is that a squashed cranberry splattered on your beautiful kitchen wallpaper? You get so crazy when cooking for a big holiday like Thanksgiving that you hardly even pay attention to your kitchen walls until it’s too late. Set-in stains that have sat for hours rarely come out of your pretty wallpaper without a fight.
Take better care of your walls this holiday season with a glass backsplash from us at CGD Glass Countertops. You can size your backsplash to protect your entire wall or just part of it. You’re also not limited by the size, shape, design, and color of your backsplash. Hey, backsplashes don’t just have to be functional, but appealing, too!
2. A Glass Kitchen Island Gives You an Extra Food Prep Surface
It never seems like you have a big enough countertop on Thanksgiving. After all, you’ve got pots, pans, dishes, and bowls full of food to put on the dining room table. If you’re left to stacking things to make your holiday prep work, then you definitely need a glass kitchen island.
You’ll love having an extra surface to prepare meals on. Now you can ensure that you plate everything on time and don’t burn the biscuits in your frenzied haste.
3. Glass Cleans up Incredibly Easily
When dinner is done and people begin thinking about the pumpkin pie, you can easily clean your glass countertop to make room for dessert. All you need is a soft cloth, water, and some soap. Make sure you wipe in the same direction to avoid streakiness, just like with any other glass surface.
Within minutes, you’ll be done with the cleanup. How convenient, especially after the exhaustion of a long day of cooking.
4. Germs and Bacteria Can’t Linger
Another great benefit of glass kitchen surfaces is how efficiently they clean up. With woodgrain and even some metal, small divots and imperfections make for the perfect hiding spaces in which bacteria and germs can linger.
No one wants to end up sick for the holidays. With glass surfaces from CGD, you can ensure your kitchen is truly clean and germ-free.
