Add Glass To Your Next Carpentry Project

  
  
  

glass carpentryIf you are working on a carpentry project, you might consider adding a piece of glass to the top. A glass table top not only will protect the piece, but can also hide imperfections. This works especially well for tabletops.

A glass shop will have plenty of suggestions for you. The larger the piece of glass the thicker it needs to be. A glass shop will have thicknesses and different styles for you to choose from. Thicker glass is better, but it is also heavier, so make sure the piece will support the extra weight. They will cut the glass to your needs, so measure the surface carefully and bring in your measurements. If you have a decorative edge on your piece, use the measurements from the very top of the surface. You don’t want any glass to be hanging over the surface.

Have the glass shop treat the edges of the glass. This will make it so the edges won’t cut anyone and be attractive as well.

Lastly, before you set the glass on your project, clean it and let the glass thoroughly dry. You don’t want to set damp glass on top of wood since it may smudge, and trap moisture on top of the wood.
