Glass tables are a unique way to enhance your modern or traditional home décor. Some of the most popular textured glass selections for dining room tables include GNA 10mm, Antik 17 10mm, Clear Sahara, and Etre 10mm. Digitally printed glass tables are also breaking into the design scene. We are now able to fabricate colored glass tables and replicate surfaces such as wood grain, granite, and various patterns of marble. Non-reflective glass is great for printed texture designs, as it gives the textures a more authentic look. Besides being a brand-new technology, digitally printed glass surfaces that mimic marble/ granite are easy to clean and non-porous. Textured and printed glass can be cut-to-size to fit most conventional table dimensions and custom shapes. Additional fabrication is minimal, 10mm is the standard thickness for the tables and flat polished edges will ensure a smooth look and finish. Glass tempering, the process of extreme heating and cooling to toughen the glass, is recommended for glass tables. Tempered glass is up to 2x tougher than regular annealed glass and breaks into smaller pieces, reducing the occurrence of injury. Applications include dining room tables, coffee tables, end tables, and meeting room or office tables.
Vintage-looking antique mirror lends a more luxurious look to homes or retail spaces over conventional clear mirrors. The antique mirror comes in a variety of colors, patterns, and levels of obscurity. Mirrors can be cut to size and edges polished for a finished look, there is no tempering available on mirror glass. Some great ideas for applications include wall-mounted cut-to-size trio panels, larger pieces framed, and backsplash. Read our blog on antique mirror ideas!

Printed glass wall art is a new way to show off photography or design work. With state-of-the-art technology, companies can print high-resolution photos directly to glass for art. With digital glass printing, you can print a file (AI, .tiff, .jpeg) onto a clear or textured glass panel for your wall. Digitally printed glass prints at a precision of 1400 dpi in durable ceramic frit ink. All glass will be tempered to permanently bond the ink into the glass, and polished or beveled edges will give a nice finished look. High-resolution photos, custom-designed files, and stock designs are all ways you can get art onto real glass.
