Glass FAQ

  • What does it look like?
    Glass offer a modern look commonly used for bar tops, backsplashes, countertops, bathroom vanities and shower/tub surrounds. Regular glass surfaces can be sandblasted for texture or back-painted to any custom color. Fusion glass is available in a variety of colors, textures and thicknesses. Back-lit glass surfaces are available as well.
  • What can I expect? Will it scratch or crack?
    Fusion Glass is formed by thermoforming 1/4" layers of glass in a kiln, meaning the texture and colors are built into the glass so there is no danger of it chipping or wearing away. Small scratches are to be expected, but will not affect the structural integrity of the surface and can be polished out if necessary. Please see our "Care" section for detailed maintenance instructions.
  • What dimensions are possible with Glass?
    Thickness: Regular glass is available in 1/2", 3/4" and 1". Thickness of Fusion glass is dependent on your project needs. Maximum width and length of surfaces has to be calculated by our engineers, please contact us for specific questions regarding your next glass project.
  • Can a sink be built into the design?
    Yes, we use a water jet to cut glass for sink cut-outs or plumbing holes. Under-mount brackets are available from Kohler for glass countertops.
  • What are the color options?
    Regular glass color has a slight tint of green, this is caused by the iron content in the glass. Water clear glass is available, also known as "Star-fire" or "Water White" glass and includes very little green color since the iron has been removed. Regular and Fusion glass can be back-painted to any color desired and metal leafing is also an option.
