GLASS FURNITURE FOR MODERN HOUSES

Recently, glass furniture is part of the usual decor of homes designed in modern minimalist style. In interior design glass brings transparency and facilitates the passage of light, helping to increase visually the space.

Increasingly we find on market various furniture and glass decorations for house: tables, desks, coffee tables, cabinets with transparent glass doors, shelves, interior doors, dividers, nightstands, safety glass countertops for kitchen furniture, colored glass panels that replace tiles in the bathroom or kitchen, cabinets and bathroom glass sinks, glass bars for living room and even glass stairs or floors. Top designers compete in manufacture of luxury glass furniture (chairs, stools, etc.) available at hefty prices. In other words, in the modern era, glass became a prestigious decorative element, adored by many specialists in interior design and decoration.

Glass can be combined with a multitude of other materials, resulting in at least interesting pieces of furniture. Such as, for example, tables with wrought iron, aluminum or stainless steel structure with tempered glass countertop. An interesting approach is also the case of wood furniture or woven wood with glass elements: coffee tables, shelves, etc.

For manufacturing glass furniture are used solid panels with 8 mm thickness. Usually, the price of glass increases depending on its thickness. Many avoid purchasing decorative glass objects, considering them extremely fragile. Perhaps they would change their opinion if they knew that a piece of glass with an area of 1 sq m and 15 mm thick can support a weight of up to 100 kg.

Modern technology in the manufacture of glass furniture and decoration allows a huge variety of glass finishes: transparent, matte, sandblasted, carved, colored, cracked glass effect, called Crash and others.

For those who preffer Minimalist or High-tech design style, glass is the element that must not miss the house, even if designers believe that the transparent furniture can be integrated into any decorating style, depending on the elements with which they are combined.

Among the disadvantages of glass furniture and decorations is the meticulous maintenance. As we all know already, on glass surfaces become visible even the tiniest particles of dust, and in families with small children, hand prints are hardly hidden on such furniture. Another drawback of the quality glass furniture is undoubtedly the high price.
