Whenever guests are over or family gathers for the holidays, people naturally gravitate towards the kitchen. It’s the perfect place to relax and have a chat, without the hosts feeling like they are neglecting their guests. With so much space spent inside it, why not plan to remodel it?
Why Remodel Your Kitchen with Glass?
The greatest concern that homeowners have about using glass in a kitchen remodeling project is that glass is easily damaged. However, the glass used for tabletops, countertops, backsplash, breakfast bars, and cabinet inserts is tempered glass. This glass comprises of using a process which strengthens it and makes it shatterproof. The tempering process, itself, also has the added benefit of making the glass resistant to heat.
That’s the good news but now it is time for the really great news. Tempered glass is a non-porous material. That means that not only will your table and countertops not harbor dirt and germs, the surfaces are much easier to keep clean. Glass surfaces are smooth, which prevents food debris and grease from sticking to the countertop. The only thing you should avoid is the use of abrasive cleaning pads which can scratch the glass.
Glass Tabletops
Glass tabletops come in a variety of colors and styles, which can really make your kitchen centerpiece stand out. You should choose a tabletop that invites your guests to sit down and take a load off. Glass tabletops serve a practical purpose, too, as it is easy to keep the surface looking clean and like new.
