FAQ & Guide on Glass Dining Tables

How To Decorate A Glass Dining Table

It really depends on what materials the base is made from. Take a glass top with wooden base. Incorporating organic elements such as a wooden bowl with fruit or succulents can really tie the wood together. If you’ve got dinnerware made out of wood that can work as well too. A round glass dining table works well with curvy and round objects, whereas a rectangular shaped table works well with objects with boxy, straight angles. If it’s a glass base you’re working with, crystal decanters or vases with flowers do just fine. For gold, brass and chrome bases, showcase a few prized decor pieces to match the base, and you’re all set.

 

How To Clean A Tempered Glass Dining Table

Even though glass is typically a superior material to resist chemicals from spills, any liquid or substance spilled should be immediately wiped clean. As for cleaning though, you could go with the classic mixture of a water and vinegar spray. But I find, hands down the best way to clean glass is with a clean micro-fiber cloth and this product, works beautifully.

 

How Thick Should A Glass Dining Table Top Be

As the vast majority of glass top dining tables are tempered, it takes quite a bit of weight to actually cause them to break. Of course, depending on the thickness and other factors such as the design of the base. Half an inch thickness is best for most applications, but you can certainly get away with 3/8″ thickness with most tables. You generally want to opt for a thicker table-top with some of the larger tables.
