Glass counters are easy to install. The most challenging part is placing the glass on top of the cabinets, which requires careful handling to ensure safety. Once in place, a simple silicone seam along the edges that touch walls is enough to prevent liquids from seeping underneath the glass. In addition to installation documents, Thinkglass is always ready to support clients through the installation process.

Yes! LED lighting is an optional feature for all Thinkglass projects. Our integrated plug-and-play lighting solutions are easy to connect and add a stunning visual effect to your bar, kitchen, bathroom, or workspace. The LED is integrated inside the glass, illuminating the countertops and leaving a lasting impression on your guests.

Yes, glass countertops are heat-resistant and won’t discolor or mark under heat. While thermal shock is highly unlikely, we recommend using trivets or hot pads to protect the surface from direct contact with hot pots or pans to maintain its longevity.

Glass is a very hard and durable material, but certain materials like ceramic or metal, can cause scratches when dragged with pressure along the surface. However, Thinkglass countertops are designed with a unique texture on the bottom of the glass that are very forgiving. These textures help conceal potential scratches over time, ensuring the surface always remains visually appealing.

Glass is a non-porous material, which makes it easy to clean and resistant to stains from common kitchen substances like turmeric or red wine. Unlike granite or marble, glass doesn’t require sealants or special care. A simple wipe-down is usually enough to keep the glass surface spotless, leaving no residue or marks behind.

The most common thicknesses for kitchen glass countertops are 1-1/2" and 2". The 1-1/2" thickness is the standard choice, while the 2" thickness offers a more substantial, impressive appearance. Both thicknesses offer excellent durability and aesthetic appeal.

Glass countertops are translucent, allowing some light to pass through. To maintain privacy and avoid seeing inside base cabinets or drawers, we recommend closing them off with a solid substrate, like plywood or chipboard, and adding a metallic laminate on top. This laminate reflects lightbeautifully while keeping the contents of your cabinets hidden.

• Easy to maintain: Glass countertops are non-porous, making them easy to clean with no need for sealing or ongoing maintenance.
• Luminous: Glass countertops diffuse light in a space, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. With integrated LED lighting, glass countertops can also serve as a unique lighting feature, illuminating a full kitchen or bathroom when the sun goes down.
• Eco-friendly: Glass is a noble material. For thick glass applications, it's made form approximately 72% sand, 15% sodium oxide and 9% limestone. If glass needs another life, it is 100% recyclable without any loss of quality higher than other recyclable materials like paper or plastic. Only energy is needed to give another life to this material.
• Durable: Glass countertops don't have an expiration date. They can be the centerpiece of a home for a lifetime as they don't change color over time and are resistant to all regular kitchen activities.

• Cost: Like other high-end materials such as wood, marble, quartz, and granite, glass countertops can be costly. On a smaller budget, buying a glass countertop may require planning to be attainable.
• Not immune to damage: While thick glass countertops by Thinkglass are resistant to daily use, impacts with heavy objects, particularly along the edges, can cause chips or scratches. As is the case with most stone countertops, sharp objects applied with force or heavy objects dragged across the surface of glass can cause scratches.
