Custom glass table tops are a great way to protect your furniture while adding a design element to your home. Sleek, elegant and available in a wide range of colors and styles, glass table tops can transform the look of a living or dining area instantly. They’re a modern alternative to staining or painting, making any room look bigger and brighter.

A skilled glazing contractor can customize a beautiful glass table top to fit your exact specifications. These three factors will help you design the perfect glass piece for your home.

The Size You’d Like Your Table to Be

At Golden Glass, we custom fabricate all of our glass pieces in-house. No project is too big or small for our contractors – whether you’d like a simple bedside table or an extravagant dining room piece, we’ll bring your vision to life.

Make sure to measure your space beforehand to ensure your new glass table top will fit comfortably in the room you’d like it. If you’re ordering a glass table top for a table you own, you’ll want to measure the surface area of the piece to ensure the glass will align with the edges of the piece.

The Shape of Your Table

If you’re designing a glass table top to go on top of an existing piece of furniture, the shape of the table underneath is an important factor.

Glass table tops are a beautiful way to make your table more durable. Making sure the shape of the glass aligns with the piece underneath will help prevent scratches, chips and other damage. We carry nearly every size and pattern you can imagine, so whether you need a circle, square or more abstract glass table top, we can create a piece that suits your needs.

The Thickness of Your Glass Table Top

The thickness of glass used in table tops is also up to your discretion. You might prefer the enhanced durability of a thicker material. Or, you might like the delicate look of a thinner piece of glass. People commonly choose either a ¼”, ⅜” or ½” thickness for custom glass table tops.

Golden Glass will work with you to create the perfect custom glass table top for your space. We pride ourselves on exceptional customer service, combining the resources of a large company with the personal attention of a small business. We’ll fabricate each custom piece in-house, ensuring timely delivery and expert installation.

No one sees home damage coming. Whether you experienced a break-in or your window was shattered by a rogue baseball, broken glass windows are a problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Glass replacement services can often be performed the same day you contact your glasswork and glazing contractor. Here are the five most important reasons you make an appointment to fix a broken window as soon as possible.

Glass Replacement Services Maintain Your Curb Appeal

Cracked windows can make even the most beautiful, sophisticated home look run-down. Replacing your windows quickly is key to maintaining your curb appeal if your windows have been cracked or shattered. Fixing broken windows efficiently also prevents you from running into problems with your HOA or neighbors who’ve noticed the problem.

Keep Your Home Safe

Cracked glass is a major safety concern. Broken windows or glass patio doors make your home far more susceptibly to home invasions, which is why replacing them fast is key to preventing break-ins. 

Your family’s safety is a top priority, and the right contractor will be able to provide quick or even same-day glass replacement services to keep your home safe and secure.

Keep Your Heating and Cooling Costs Down

High-quality windows create a proper seal between the indoors and outdoors of your home. Proper insulation is the key to keeping your heating and cooling costs low, which is why broken windows can cause your utility bill to skyrocket.

Glass replacement services quickly prevent your energy expenses from increasing, saving you money in the long run.

Keep the Weather Out

In addition to a draft, broken windows let in dirt, dust and rain. All of these can cause significant home damage, which is why you shouldn’t put off glass replacement services.

Protect Your Interiors

Modern windows have UV resistance to help keep your home insulated and prevent your interior from fading. When your windows are broken, the direct sunlight can quickly fade your furniture and paint. 

Golden Glass is proud to provide efficient, high-quality glass replacement services. We’re committed to fixing your broken windows as quickly as possible to keep your home safe, secure and properly insulated. Our warehouse is reliably stocked with a range of beautiful, quality glass materials – you’re guaranteed to find the perfect fit for your home. Call us today at (800) 644-5277 or fill out our online contact form today – we’d be happy to provide you with a complimentary quote.

Glass shower doors are a beautiful, low-maintenance upgrade to your home. High-quality glass shower doors are unlikely to suffer any significant problems or damage when properly installed.

However, glass shower doors can have some minor issues with regular use. Here’s our guide to taking care of them yourself – and when you should call a professional.

Sticky Glass Shower Doors

If your glass shower door is sticking, there are two main culprits: loose screws and soap scum.

If you can locate a loose screw and tighten it again, you can solve the problem in a few minutes.

If the buildup of scum looks like the issue, a deep clean should take care of it. Spray down your shower door with vinegar and dish detergent, and use a toothbrush or scraper to get into any hard-to-reach areas.

Glass Shower Door Won’t Stay Closed

When your glass shower door doesn’t stay closed, screws could also be to blame.

Check your hinges, latches and handles and then tighten any loose screws with a screwdriver. Didn’t find any? Give your hinges a good scrub with vinegar to loosen any scum that could be getting in the way.

Your Sliding Glass Shower Door Drags

Water buildup and debris can cause your sliding glass shower door to become unaligned with its track and start to drag.

Because repairing this problem involves taking the door off the track, it’s best to leave this to a professional.

Scratches on Glass Shower Doors

A skilled glass technician easily repairs scratched glass shower doors. Your contractor can buff out or fill in scratches during a brief appointment.

Leaks in Your Glass Shower Door

If your glass shower door is leaking, that points to a problem with the seal around the edges. Getting leaks taken care of by a professional promptly is key to preventing water damage on your floors and bathroom walls.

As Golden Glass, our glasswork and glazing contractors handle everything from fabrication to installation to ensure your glass shower enclosure has a flawless seal. Your home is important to us, and we pride ourselves on providing only the highest quality glass materials. Renovations are an investment – choose the glasswork and glazing experts with a proven history of excellence.

Whether you’re renovating an existing deck or patio or you just installed a new one, adding a handrail system is essential. Particularly if your household has children, pets or people with disabilities, this safety feature is non-negotiable for keeping everyone safe.

Many find themselves unsatisfied with the most common materials used in handrails; wood, for example, leads to splinters, and metal can look a bit too sterile. 

Glass handrails are the ideal way to create outdoor areas that are just as secure as they are beautiful. Because glass is so often overlooked when installing handrails, we’ve listed four of our favorite ways a glass handrail system can enhance your deck or patio.

Enhance the View From Your Deck 

Traditional handrail materials, like metal or wood, obstruct your view of the outdoors. Adding a safety feature shouldn’t take away from your view, whether your home overlooks the ocean, the mountains or you’re just trying to keep an eye on the kids.

Because they’re transparent, glass handrail systems give you a beautiful, unobstructed view of your backyard. 

Make Your Patio Feel Lighter and More Spacious 

Glass surfaces are a great way to make any space feel more open and airy, and that extends to your patio. Your deck should feel like a seamless transitionary area from the indoors to the outdoors, and glass handrails are a beautiful way to achieve that.

Add Safety and Privacy With Style

With modern tempered glass, it’s easy to see how glass can be a great material to add safety to your deck or patio.

But what about privacy? Let us explain.

Glass panels are incredibly customizable. Our glass handrail systems can be treated to create an opaque or obscured effect that creates privacy while still allowing the light in. This makes them the perfect solution for urban apartments or other housing areas where your neighbors are fairly close. 

Make Your Safety Features More Durable with Tempered Glass

When adding a safety feature like a handrail system, choosing a material that’s strong enough to break a fall is crucial. Our glass handrail systems are made with tempered glass, which is far more durable than other glass materials. 

Tempered glass is incredibly difficult to break. In the rare event that it does shatter, the tempered glass breaks into dull shards that are far less likely to cause injury. This makes it an ideal material for households concerned about installing glass surfaces where children or pets will play.

When renovating their outdoor spaces, too many homeowners feel they have to choose between beauty and function. Glass handrail systems are perfect for extending the sophisticated style of your home out onto your deck or patio. Golden Glass fabricates beautiful tempered glass materials that are ideal for adding safety and style simultaneously. We’d love to help you transform your home with Golden Glass – give us a call at (800) 64-GLASS or contact us online to get started on your next home renovation project today.

When you’re looking to install an important safety feature like handrails, you shouldn’t have to compromise the spacial aesthetics of your home. Glass is often thought of as a weaker material, so it’s usually overlooked when it comes to safety features.

Today’s modern, tempered glass is incredibly durable and low-maintenance, making it ideal for use in glass handrail systems. We’ve outlined four ways that glass handrail systems can elevate your home’s safety and design. 

1. Glass Handrail Systems Are Surprisingly Low Maintenance

If you’ve ever lived in a home with wooden handrails, you’ll know they’ll start to chip or fade with regular use. They’ll require repairs, staining or painting fairly regularly.

High-quality tempered glass materials are durable and easy to maintain. A quick once-over with soap and water is all you need to keep your glass handrail system sparkling.

2. They’re the Best Way to Keep Your Family Safe

We’ve all had a sibling (or maybe it was you) get their head stuck in between railings on a stairwell or playground. Installing wooden handrails puts your family at the same risk. 

Skip the call to the fire department and install glass handrail systems – made with no gaps to eliminate the worry of children or pets getting caught or falling through. 

Glass handrails are also far stronger than wooden materials, making it nearly impossible for children to break them and suffer a fall. Because glass doesn’t corrode in the same way as wood, this makes it a superior material for installing handrails in your outdoor areas as well.

3. They’re Incredibly Customizable

Our glazing contractors are proud to fabricate each piece in-house so we can customize a glass handrail system to your home’s unique needs and style. Regardless of the thickness, shape or design you envision for your space, we have the expertise to bring it to life.

Whether you’d like to let more light into your home with clear materials or add a bit of privacy with frosted glass, we’ll create and install the perfect glass handrail system for your home.

4. They Won’t Stick Out

You’ve spent time and money creating a sophisticated space that reflects your personal style. Why should a safety feature interfere with your home’s interior design?

Unlike traditional handrail materials like metal or chrome, glass handrail systems fit seamlessly into elegant home designs. They contribute beautifully to the spacial aesthetics of your home by allowing light to flow right through them.
