Modernize Your Kitchen with Luxury Glass Countertops
ExpiredWith so many options on the market, choosing the right countertop often becomes a challenging task. You need to ensure that the material is durable and at the same time, looks visually appealing. While marble and granite countertops are arguably the most common upscale option, the use of these materials has become outdated with time. So, why not look into other modern and attractive alternative, such as glass?
Why A Glass Countertop?
It Looks Elegant: Glass countertops look more appealing and elegant than many other materials and glass comes in a large variety of designs and colors so you’re likely to find the perfect fit for your personal style. Glass adds a modern touch to your kitchen space which isn’t achievable with granite and marble. These modern countertops also make the space look cleaner, more spacious, and brighter.
Easy Maintenance: No one wants to spend hours cleaning kitchen countertops. Compared to granite and marble, glass is much easier to clean. You can conveniently get rid of stains, liquid spills, dirt and debris with a simple glass cleaner. By taking care of your countertops, they can stay intact for decades. However, it may still be a good idea to re-seal them occasionally.
Eco-Friendly Option: Recycled glass countertops offer an eco-friendly option to your kitchen design. While many homeowners prefer natural stones such as marble and granite, glass is by far the best choice if you’re looking for a more environmentally friendly option. Go green with recycled glass, all while improving the overall appearance of your space.
Increased Safety: Glass is often viewed as dangerous due to its sharp edges. For this reason, it is best to opt for tempered glass material for use in the home. This glass is processed so that if it is damaged, it breaks into small pieces without any sharp edges, thereby reducing the risk of injuries. Tempered glass is an especially good option if there are young children in your home.
How to Choose the Right Glass Material?
Cost: For many, the budget is the most important factor when it comes to choosing a material for countertops. You can opt for recycled glass material which is relatively low cost compared to other materials. It is similar in appearance to regular glass, the only difference being the use of recycled materials in its manufacturing process.
Durability: While it may seem like glass is not a durable material for countertops, you can find very durable glass materials by choosing a contractor that specializes in quality glass installation. Although the price of durable and high-quality glass is a bit higher, it is worth the money with an increased useful life and appeal.
Appearance: Glass is an attractive material that is easily available in a large variety of colors and designs. Glass countertops can add a refreshing element to any kitchen or bathroom design, especially when placed into the right space. Ask for a sample, so you can choose the glass color and design that is perfect for you.

After an extensive search to have installed mirrors in our gym in the Northern Neck area for a glass company we found More Than Glass.

I Refer More Than Glass
I bought a large piece of glass (4'x9') to cover our kitchen table. They offered options for the edge and corners and had my glass ready in a couple of days. I picked it up and they helped me load it in my vehicle. Whenever someone asks where we got the glass, I refer them to More Than Glass. Very happy with the product and service.
