With custom glass countertops, you’re not limited to any singular shape. Maybe you have a seaside cottage and want to add subtle curves to your countertops that mirror the movement of water. Maybe you have a unique kitchen island shape that you need the glass to match.

Whatever the case for your specific home or commercial venue, custom glass countertops allow you to create something that’s truly personalized to your space.

When you go custom, standard rectangular countertops are, of course, possible but not necessary.

2.     Glass can be colored to your specifications.

One of the big benefits of using custom architectural glass is your choice of colors. Glass can be made to match or complement certain colors, ensuring the design integrates seamlessly into your residence or commercial space.

This is where your due diligence is important, though. Even within custom glass countertops, not all products are created equal.

Many glass manufacturers will simply paint or laminate a piece of glass in order to make it appear certain colors. When you use True Colors glass from TCG, you’re actually getting glass infused with that color. This gives you:

• Incredible depth and vibrancy of color
• Amazing durability and longevity (no worrying about paint coming off over time or laminate eventually getting compromised, damaged, or unsightly)
• A stunning, unique product using cutting-edge, proprietary technology

If colored glass is important in your design ideal, a custom countertop could provide the flexibility you need.

3.     Choose your desired countertop texture.

Off-the-shelf countertops tend to be smooth and basic. If you’re looking to add the visual depth and interest of texture into your countertops, customization is the way to go.

This texture can be felt on the actual surface of the countertop, or it can be a smooth countertop with various textures integrated into the center (bubbles, lines, bumps).

4.     Go unique with your countertop edging style.

Just as with colors and shapes, a mass-produced glass countertop tends to have a limited number of edge styles. These kinds of details, while small, can have a big effect on the overall look and feel of your finished design.

If you have something unique or stylized in mind for an edge style, reach out to a custom glass manufacturer to talk through the feasibility of your idea.

5.     Enjoy higher quality (and better ROI) with custom countertops.

Perhaps the biggest differentiator between a mass-produced countertop product and a custom glass product is the quality.

With a generic product, you have to be more concerned about:

• Maintenance issues (related to time and expense)
• The cost of potential breakage and replacement
• Liability issues (in the event of glass breakage)
• Repair costs over time

Custom glass countertops are generally a bigger up-front expense than their generic counterparts, but that’s not the whole picture. When you think about the lifetime expense of that product, custom countertops often present the better value.

If you’re paying to repair chipped, scuffed, or otherwise damaged countertops or even replace a countertop that fails entirely, you quickly end up paying more for that initially cheaper product.

When you work with TCG Glass, you also get a scratch-resistant coating applied to your glass countertop. For free. We are the only glass manufacturer who provides this durability-enhancing service at no extra cost.
