Glass Kitchen Countertops

More from the Kitchen Remodeling Gallery

There are many choices for kitchen countertopping, including natural stones, basic Formicas, practical stainless steel, or affordable tiles. One other option that doesn't get a whole lot of attention is glass.

A Whole New Array of Design Options

Glass countertops offer a whole different array of design options than the more conventional countertop choices. Glass opens up a completely different style element that ranges from the modern contemporary to the wild and wacky.

Glass countertopping can be as simple as a sheet of clear glass; or it can become much more in-depth. Art glass provides one beautiful illustration of this product. Captivating recycled glass designs give another set of examples to the wonders of glass designs.  Who knew that beer bottle you took the time to pick up could become so useful and beautiful?

Durability

Despite the fact that they are glass, glass countertops are actually pretty durable. This product, Vetrazzo Recycled Glass Countertopping, is supposed to be as strong and durable as granite, even though it consists of 85% glass. It is resistant to stains, but still a porous material that requires gentle and patient care. The glass and concrete combination make a strong surface that is resistant to heat, and will not break or scratch easily. The only cleaning required is to occasionally apply soap and water; chemical cleaners are not recommended.

Recycled, Eco-friendly, Affordable

If you are looking for a resourceful way to incorporate recycled materials into your kitchen to support a greener building project, then glass countertopping is just what you are looking for. The good news is that glass is quite affordable, and is quickly becoming the green choice for eco-friendly remodels.
