Glass table tops
Glass table tops add elegance and functionality to any space. Whether you’re upgrading your dining table, coffee table, or patio furniture, finding the right replacement glass is essential. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about replacement glass table tops, from choosing the right type of glass to installation tips.
1. Why Choose Glass Table Tops?
Glass table tops offer several advantages:
Aesthetic Appeal: Glass adds a sleek and modern look to your furniture.
Durability: High-quality glass is resistant to scratches and stains.
Easy Maintenance: Wiping down glass surfaces is a breeze.
Versatility: Glass complements various styles and materials.
2. Types of Replacement Glass
a. Clear Glass
Clear glass is the most common choice. It’s transparent, allowing the beauty of your table base or legs to shine through. Clear glass works well in both formal and casual settings.
b. Tinted Glass
Tinted glass comes in various shades (gray, bronze, blue, etc.). It adds a touch of color and can reduce glare. Consider tinted glass for outdoor tables or to match specific room aesthetics.
c. Frosted or Satin Glass
Frosted or satin glass has a textured surface that diffuses light. It provides privacy and a soft, elegant appearance. Ideal for coffee tables or bathroom vanities.
d. Tempered Glass
Tempered glass is heat-treated to make it stronger and safer. If it breaks, it shatters into small, harmless pieces. Use tempered glass for safety-critical areas like patio tables.
3. Measuring and Ordering
Before ordering, measure your existing table top carefully. Note the dimensions and any special requirements (e.g., rounded corners). Euroglass offers custom-cut glass to fit your exact specifications.
4. Installation Tips
a. Safety First
Wear gloves and safety goggles during installation. Clear the work area to avoid accidents.
b. Remove the Old Glass
Carefully remove the old glass using suction cups or assistance. Clean the table frame thoroughly.
c. Place the New Glass
Position the replacement glass on the table frame. Use clear silicone adhesive to secure it in place.
d. Finishing Touches
Wipe off any excess adhesive. Let the glass cure for 24 hours before using the table.
5. Maintenance and Care
Regularly clean the glass with a mild glass cleaner.
Avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly on the glass.
Use coasters to prevent water rings.
