When looking to protect and extend the lifespan of your office furniture, glass tabletops are an incredible option. At S. Albert Glass, we understand the benefits of glass in the office.
Glass creates a more polished, modern look. If you have older furniture, a glass top can enhance the appearance of wood. Additionally, desks and meeting tables are less likely to suffer from scuffs, damages, and glass rings when you have a glass top. We understand there are many considerations you need to make when considering a glass cover.
Glass Strength
To protect your table, you need strong enough glass. In an office setting, the annealed glass may be tough enough to protect your table. However, tempered glass which has an extra layer of strength is more robust and safer than annealed glass.
Glass Edge
When choosing glass tabletops, you have a choice between different recommended edges. Many offices use flat, polished edges for a more streamlined look. However, if you want a more dramatic look or have an accent piece to showcase, you may choose a more beveled edge or pencil polish. Another popular choice in the office place is the seamed edge.
Glass Thickness
In most cases, you want the glass to be a thickness of about 1/4 of an inch. However, in some instances, 3/16″ or 3/8″ may also be preferable. The thickness of your glass can create different effects. However, when you choose a thicker glass, you need to ensure your furniture can withstand the weight.
