There are few things more modern looking than a glass dining table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s more, it’s been like that for decades because style never goes out of fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass tables can be used to create a feeling of space, they are easy to keep clean and, with state-of-the-art technology that increases strength, they are safer than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, as you’ll see in this blog, you can create your own unique interior design looks with printing techniques and paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Glass strong enough?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are thinking about your dining room furniture you will be looking at durability, style and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how safe is toughened safety glass or as it is sometimes known, tempered glass? And the basic answer is ‘very’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 types of safety glass. One is chemical and the other, more popular, way is by using rapid heating and cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The annealed<\/a> glass is heated to 620\u00b0C for a good length of time and then quickly cooled with jets of cold air. The resulting reaction inside the material creates a surface tension that holds the glass together and makes it 5 times stronger than normal glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also means, if the glass shatters, it breaks into safe pieces rather than shards like ordinary glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A footnote here. There is a kind of glass called Toughened Laminated Glass but that is mostly used for construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating an Illusion Of Space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It probably seems a strange thing to state but having a transparent or reflective table is going to bounce the light around your dining room area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We mentioned before that you can even add printing and paint to your table top, so have a think about designs of colours that will make the room look bigger – light creams, teals and other subtle tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another way to get a little more space is to use a round table. that way you don’t have corners sticking out and you can add round backed chairs to create different dining room sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premier Range<\/a> have a service where you can have your glass cut to size, so don’t get stuck with anything that just not the right size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep the colour coming!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The simplest way of adding colour to a dining area with a glass table was to use brightly coloured chairs. While, this is still a great way to get an original look if your table is transparent but it’s not the only way create some exciting interior design ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the technology has come on so far that it’s pretty easy to have very large sheets of glass printed or painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you could match the table top colour to the walls or decor, pick something bold and eye catching or even print your own image!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine having a table printed like an old viking dining area or a royal banquet – or even a huge picture of your favourite pets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix it up!<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don’t have to follow convention with a glass table top, you could mix it up and use glass for the legs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would take a bit of thinking about but the glass would be strong enough to hold a good chunk of wood and it would still help the light travel around the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wouldn’t recommend mixing glass legs and glass tops though, not unless you really know what you are doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
