Whether you’re considering glass as a countertop material for an interior space or an outdoor living area, glass can be a great solution.

When properly engineered, designed, manufactured, and installed, glass is compatible with even the most extreme weather conditions. This includes things like intense UV exposure, snow, ice, rain, or large temperature swings.

Many people have this misconception that glass is going to be fragile. But when it’s specifically manufactured as architectural glass, it’s highly durable and can withstand either interior or exterior conditions.

2.     Minimal Maintenance

Glass is a hydrophobic material, meaning it repels water. This helps contribute to it being a highly hygienic building material. Because water can’t seep into the glass itself, you don’t have to worry about accumulated bacteria or mold.

This greatly reduces how much overall maintenance is required to keep these countertops looking and performing their best.

Even without harsh chemicals or cleaning solutions, you can get your glass countertops looking pristine with a bit of warm water and mild soap.

When you work with TCG Glass specifically, all their glass countertops come standard with a complimentary anti-scratch treatment. This contributes to the product being durable and requiring very little work to keep it looking like the day it was installed.

3.     Extreme Durability

The glass used to create countertops, flooring, and other architectural products is manufactured and engineered to be highly durable. It’s resistant to both total failure and everyday scratches, dings, and gouges that would make it unsightly over time.

When you choose glass countertops, you can be confident you’re getting a product that’s resistant to:

• Scratches
• Staining
• Impact damage
• Heat
• Hard water etching
• Acid etching

Even when used frequently for food preparation, you don’t have to worry about the material being compromised—functionally or aesthetically.

4.     Customization Options

Glass countertops are ideal for anyone looking to create something entirely custom. Due to the nature of the material, glass lends itself very well to numerous kinds of customization:

• Color
• Thickness
• Edge treatment
• Texture
• Shape
• Size

If you have a bold idea for your countertops, talk to an expert glass manufacturer. A company with adequate experience and expertise can walk you through all your customization options and what’s feasible with this material.

If you’re less interested in cookie-cutter architectural solutions and more drawn to custom pieces created to your exact specifications, glass should be top of your list for potential countertop materials.

5.     Unique, Bold Design

Glass countertops are not typically the norm or standard. Going with glass inherently means you’re choosing a bold and unique design statement.

If you’re looking for something to differentiate the home, glass is the ideal material because it not only stands out in a crowd, but you also get to enjoy all the other benefits of this high-quality but low-maintenance choice.
