Glass Table Tops & Glass Shelves
Glass tabletops are used in a number of different ways, one popular glass table top is used to protect the surface of a table, desk, or a coffee table. When used as a cover on a wood surface, normally a thinner glass such as 1/4" is used. The edges of the glass would normally be polished to smooth them out and avoid the possibility of injury from the sharp edges. When glass is used as a wood surface cover there is no need for tempering the glass. As a cover for wood furniture, glass enriches the wood finish of tables or dressers while protecting the finish from scratches, glass rings, sun damage and scuffs.
Glass can also be used as a weight bearing element, either as inset panels within a wood or metal frame, or as a full surface either supported directly on the legs or held within an outer frame. Any weight bearing glass tabletop must be made of tempered glass.
Glass table tops have a wonderful quality of minimizing the visual impact of end tables, coffee tables and dining tables, making them perfect for smaller rooms.
Glass, both clear and colored or tinted are also very popular with very contemporary designs.
Glass is also very popular as shelf material. Glass is inexpensive, easy to cut to size and doesn’t block light or diminish the items on the shelves.
When choosing glass for shelves, important factors to consider are the overall length of the shelves, the distance between supports and the weight to be placed on the shelves.
Glass shelves may be small pieces inside a cabinet, useful because a light mounted in the top will shine through several shelves. The glass shelves can be as thin as 1/4” and can be simple plate glass.
Longer shelves, used to display objects or to store books should be thicker and possibly tempered. Your Cut Rate Glass technician will be able to advise you of the proper type and thickness required for your particular use.
