Top 3 Reasons Why You Need a Raised Glass Countertop

Raised Glass Countertops are an often overlooked product when people think about a new countertop. With raised glass countertops you have so many choices to transform your kitchen in an affordable and contained fashion. In this post we’d like to go through the top 3 reasons why you should consider a raised glass countertop.

#1 – Easy to Add to Your Existing Countertop

Many people really like their existing countertop but are just looking to add/transform the functional space in their kitchens. Raised glass countertops allow you to do just that. The beauty of this type of countertop is that it can take an existing countertop and extend it’s functionality to make room for a small bar, breakfast area, or just additional sitting/eating room. Check out a few examples below:

Substrate Raised Glass Countertop In the above example a raised glass countertop was added to an existing countertop to add an effective bar area alongside the installed space.

The above example shows how a raised glass countertop can be added to an existing countertop as a breakfast/sushi bar, adding an additional eating space to an otherwise less-effective space.

#2 – Much More Affordable Than a New Countertop

Another one of the great benefits of considering a raised glass countertop is the fact that they are considerably less expensive than replacing an existing countertop. When most people consider changing/replacing their current kitchen countertop they often overlook the cheaper possibility of adding a raised glass countertop to their current counter. Their are several different forms of raised glass countertops but the most affordable and easiest to implement is the ” Standoff/Angle Bracket” style. Below is an example:

Standoff Angle Bracket Raised Glass Countertop

As you can see the countertop is help up by “standoff brackets” which keep it sturdy in place, while not having to construct and heavy and tedious floor-level substrate.

#3 – So Many Different Options

When it comes to flexibility, raised glass countertops are almost unmatched in the variety of different options available to you. These options range from adding a raised glass countertop as a bar space, extending a bar space, adding a dining table to a countertop, and many more. These options extend even further when you consider the amount of customizations that CGD can perform to your countertop order. Check out the following post on our many different types of raised glass countertops.
