Glass Tabletops

A Glass Tabletop is a stylish statement piece in any room. The natural transparency of the glass can help create the impression of more space and less clutter, and the smooth, sleek appearance of glass adds a modern flair to your furnishings. It’s also easier to keep clean and germ-free than wood—since glass doesn’t stain and won’t absorb contaminants, maintaining it is as simple as using a clean cloth and a glass-cleaning solution. For this reason, glass is also commonly used for covering wooden tabletops, thereby protecting the original surface and making it easier to maintain.

Our glass store in Ottawa can also produce new tabletops for DIY projects, so whether you’re building a base from scratch or you’re repurposing a reclaimed object—a whiskey barrel, for example, makes a great base for a small, high table—our glass store in Ottawa can produce the perfect finishing touch to your new table that shows off your unique style and tastes. We are able to cut a wide variety of shapes in clear, grey or bronze glass in several popular thicknesses in your size*. If you require tempered or safety glass, it is available for many layouts and applications.
