Can you replace broken glass on a garden table?

In many cases, yes. If the frame of your garden table is still in good condition, replacement glass may be an option instead of replacing the entire table. The glass needs to be correctly measured and specified for the particular table.

Is toughened glass suitable for garden furniture?

Toughened glass is commonly used for suitable outdoor furniture applications. However, the correct glass specification depends on the design, dimensions and support provided by the furniture.

Can I have a glass top made for an unusual-shaped table?

Yes. Bespoke glass can be manufactured in a range of shapes and sizes, subject to the requirements of the individual project. This makes it suitable for many unusual or non-standard tables.

Can glass protect a valuable wooden table?

A protective glass top can help reduce everyday wear such as scratches, spills and marks. It can be particularly useful for treasured, antique, handmade or delicate furniture where preserving the original surface is important.

Can I have glass made for a dressing table?

Yes. A bespoke glass top can provide an easy-to-clean protective surface for a dressing table while allowing the original furniture to remain visible.

Can I have glass tops for bedside tables?

Yes. Made-to-measure glass can be used to protect bedside tables from everyday marks, spills and scratches while giving them a clean, finished appearance.

How do I know what thickness of glass I need?

The appropriate thickness depends on factors including the size and shape of the glass, how it is supported and how the table will be used. Stileglass can advise on a suitable specification for your particular requirements.

Does toughened glass break?

Toughened glass is designed to be stronger than standard annealed glass, but like any glass, it can still break under sufficient impact or stress. If it breaks, it is designed to fracture into many smaller pieces rather than large sharp shards.
