Whether you have a modern home or a more traditional abode, glass tabletops can add an elegant touch to your kitchen and dining room. In fact, the market for glass tabletops is evolving and they’re available in several trendy styles, including tempered glass and patterned glass. If you don’t have an existing table to cover, you should consider some important factors before buying the new glass table top.
Thickness:
Measure your table’s diameter and height. Measure the thickness of your tabletop to calculate its volume; also, take note of how thick your existing table is. You’ll need these measurements to find out whether a glass tabletop will fit over your wooden or stumpy table, or if you need to purchase a base plate to secure the glass tabletop onto. In addition to the height and diameter of the tabletop, consider your needs when selecting a top.
Material:
Tabletop materials come in a range of materials, like wood and glass. Look at any tabletop with an eye to its suitability for different types of food and drink, as well as how it will look. You’ll need to consider the different materials of the tabletop, as well as how it will go with the room’s decor and existing furniture. Each materi has different qualities to consider before you place your order. For instance, Annealed glass, which is so named because it’s heated to a low enough temperature that it doesn’t need to be tempered for strength, is typically half an inch thick or less. It has a moderate price point and a choice of textured or smooth surfaces.
Shape:
The shape of the glass table top can also be a good idea to consider while buying one. If you are getting a glass dining table, then you should opt for a rectangular or oval shaped glass table top. As you can see in many restaurants, dining tables have rectangular or oval shaped glass table tops. These designs are the most functional ones, because they allow enough space for people to move around comfortably. At the same time, these shapes look classy and elegant, especially in the dining room.
If you are looking for more decorative tops consider shapes like round or oval, which can cover up blemishes in the wood but still give the top a unique shape.
Looks:
When you're looking for a glass table, the first thing you should consider is the look of the tabletop. The most common is clear glass, but you can also go for frosted or mirrored. Clear glass tabletops are great for small rooms because they offer the illusion of space. If you want to show off your flooring too, clear glass is ideal.
What's more, clear glass is perfect if you want to add a modern touch to a classic setting. If your dining set has ornate carvings and gold detailing, then a clear glass tabletop will highlight these features without competing with them. This is also a good option if you have a large dining room with minimal decoration.
