3 Ways to Use a Glass Table Top in a Dining Room
Did you know you can order a custom glass table top from a glass shop like ABC Glass & Mirror? In fact, a glass table top could be just what your dining room needs. Both the beauty and the functionality of a dining area can be boosted by a glass surface, and our team can cut a table top to your precise specifications, deliver, and install it. If the room where you eat your meals is due for some extra TLC, read on to discover the potential offered by custom glass table tops.
1. A glass-topped dining table
One of the most dramatic ways to transform your dining room is by replacing a traditional table with a custom piece of furniture formed by attaching a glass top to the base of your choice. Depending on the size and shape of the top, possibilities for bases include:
• Welded steel supports
• One or more pedestals formed from tree trunks
• A transparent acrylic base in the form of an “x” or “+”
• A metal frame with four legs
Turning to the glass, you can choose whether the top will be:
• standard clear
• low-iron (ultra clear)
• acid-etched
• custom sand-blasted
• patterned
• gray tinted
• bronze tinted
Thus, by your choice of glass dimensions, glass style, and base, the new dining table can be a custom, one of kind piece that expresses your personality and gives your dining room unique charm.
2. Give an old table a second wind.
Glass that hides or blurs the view of what’s below it can be used to transform your existing dining table. At the same time, you can make the table larger by ordering a piece of glass that extends a little past the edges of the surface below it. Has your dining table been scratched? Damaged by hot pans? Stained by food spills or art projects? You can keep your table but make all these problems go away by adding a glass covering. Back painted glass is completely opaque, while acid-etched, sand-blasted, patterned, and tinted sheets of glass will blur the visibility of whatever is underneath them. If your beloved dining table needs a new lease on life, consider covering it with a custom-cut piece of glass. To complete the new look, you could add wall shelves make of the same style of glass and create an elegant display.
3. Protect a new or heirloom table top.
If you’ve just purchased a pristine new dining table or received a treasured heirloom, you want this piece of furniture to retain its beauty with time and use. This can be challenging when the surface is used frequently and in close proximity to sharp and pointed objects. If you have young children, there is added risk from paint, markers, and the like. However, with a clear or ulta-clear glass table top, you can protect your dining table’s surface from damage and stains while keeping it visible.
