Glass countertop for your home

Glass countertop for home. When it comes to elevating the design of the kitchen, bathroom or bar, countertops often play a bigger role than people expect. While traditional materials like granite, marble, and quartz continue to dominate, glass are steadily gaining attention for their sleek appearance and contemporary appeal. If you’re aiming for a bathroom that feels fresh, light, and undeniably modern, glass countertop might be the material worth considering. One of the biggest advantages of glass countertops by CGD is its versatility in design. Glass countertop can be with clear or frosted surface and also may have translucent color such as sky blue or amber, textured with variety of different textures to choose from, or even with embossed design. You can see installation shots here. The result of these is a glass countertop feels uniquely tailored rather than mass-produced.

Durability and Strength of glass countertop

Despite common assumptions, glass countertops are not fragile. When they produced by CGD they go through particular technological process. This process ensures resistance to impact, heat, and daily wear. When properly installed glass countertops can last for many years without losing its structural integrity.

Hygiene and Maintenance

Glass countertops are easy to maintain. Bathrooms are high-moisture environments, making hygiene a top priority. Glass countertops are non-porous, meaning they do not absorb water, bacteria, or stains. This makes them one of the most hygienic countertop options available.

Cleaning is straightforward—usually just a soft cloth and a mild cleaner will keep the surface spotless. Unlike natural stone, glass doesn’t require sealing or specialized maintenance routines. However, it’s worth noting that fingerprints and water spots can be more visible, so regular wiping helps maintain that pristine look.

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.

Wouldn’t You Like a New Countertop for the Holidays?

More so than any other time of the year (except maybe summertime barbequing season), your kitchen is about to see a lot of action. The holidays are soon to be upon us, which means you’ll be busy all day prepping and cooking turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, goose, duck, and maybe a pumpkin pie or two.

You’ve made the holidays work in past years, but your kitchen sure feels cramped. Wouldn’t it be nice to have more food prep space? Better yet, wouldn’t it be awesome if that food prep space cleaned up easily?

Glass Tabletops Make Housework Quick

Earlier this month, we talked about how beneficial glass countertops from CGD Glass Countertops can be. Today, we want to focus on another glass surface we think will make your life easier: glass tabletops.

Keeping your home spotless is a top priority, but admittedly it’s not one you always get to every day. In the summertime, you were cooking on the grill, swimming in the pool, going to the beach and the theme park, or planning a vacation with your family.

Now that the kids are back in school, it’s more paramount the house stays as clean as possible. After all, your children are bringing home lots of germs each day whether they mean to or not.

The official arrival of autumn is also just around the corner. Before we know it, the temperatures are going to start cooling down and more colds, flus, and other illnesses will become prevalent.

Glass tabletops from CGD make keeping the house clean so much easier. Here’s how.

The Real Tabletop Is Protected

You don’t need to order a whole new table to enjoy one of our glass tabletops. You can measure your favorite house table and send us the specs. Then we’ll custom-design the glass panel to fit perfectly atop your table. This protects the real tabletop from sun damage, moisture, scratches and nicks, and stains.

Cleaning Glass Is Simple

There’s no need to be shy about cleaning glass. You can save money on the special cleaners and put that cash towards a soft, reusable cleaning cloth. Then dip the cloth in a mixture of warm water and dish soap, squeeze out the excess water, and start cleaning both sides of the glass. It only takes minutes!

Less Places for Germs to Hide, Reside, and Thrive

Materials like wood and metal give germs plenty of places to take cover when you come at them with a cleaner. There are nooks, crannies, and crevices that you can’t reach unless you really put some elbow grease into it. If you’re cleaning the whole house, you can get tired and miss some spots where germs thrive most.

That’s not the case once you add glass to your table. Our sheer glass tabletops have no tiny spaces for germs to multiply. Your family will stay healthier, even during germy back-to-school season.

Any Tabletop Will Do

If you want a glass tabletop, you don’t need to be picky about it. Here at CGD Glass Countertops, all our glasswork is customized. Whether it’s a beloved coffee table, a dining room table, or even an oft-used end table, we can add glass to any tabletop.

Get Your Glass Tabletops Today!

Now’s the perfect time to order your custom glass tabletops from CGD Glass Countertops. The school season has just gotten underway and the weather is still warm enough that too many people aren’t getting sick.

You can send your table measurements via our website. Any other information about your project that you have available is also welcomed. From there, we’ll get back to you with a quote.

Glass Countertops Will Keep Those School Germs at Bay

In just a few short days, the kids will be going back to school. You’ll finally have a quieter house, but a germier one, too. But, you’re saying, you’ve taught your kids well. They know to always wash their hands when they’re done in the bathroom and before they eat. They also know not to touch their face if their hands are dirty.

Well, sure, and that’s your kids, but what about everyone else’s? 2017 data from ABC News found that a child’s classroom and school have more germs than you ever could have imagined. There could be as few as 2,000 germs and as many as 15,000 based on how popular and heavily-used a certain item is.

Yes, sadly, you can expect that your kids are bringing home a lot of these germs with them. This may not be such a big deal at the beginning of the school season, but once the weather turns and colds, flus, and other illnesses are rampant, you’ll want a house as clean as possible.

One of the areas that gets germiest and grubbiest fast is the kitchen. This is where little hungry hands raid the fridge, the cabinets, and the shelves for snacks after a long day at school.

If you want to keep your home as germ-free as possible, you might want to rethink your kitchen materials. For instance, glass countertops resist germs much better than a wooden or metal countertop could. Why? Well, wood has tons of tiny little crevices and corners in each wood grain. You can wipe it down with a wet cleaning cloth and you still won’t be able to reach each and every one of those crevices.

Metal tables may have divots and inaccessible areas as well. You can clean your countertop if it’s made of metal or wood and it can seem germ-free, but it may not be. That’s not so with a glass countertop. These are made of a single slab of thick, polished glass. There are no crevices, corners, or divots. When you wipe down a countertop after a chaotic before-school breakfast or family dinner, you can be assured that you’ve truly gotten the germs.

You and your family can then enjoy a healthier school season. What’s better than that?

Now, you may be wondering, where can you get a glass countertop? CGD Glass Countertops is a Toronto manufacturer that specializes in these and other glass items and accent pieces. We allow you to design any of your glass items, even our countertops, from the ground up. You can get special edging, layers of texture beneath the glass, back-painting (which adds color to the glass), and even LED lighting for your countertop. This way, if the kids are hungry for a late-night snack, they can safely navigate the kitchen.

The school year is just getting started, which means now is the perfect time to order your very own glass countertop. To get started today, you can fill out our online contact form or call CGD Glass Countertops at 416-398-9733.
