Glass furniture is a part of modern furniture, though its origin can
be traced back to as early as 1350 A.D. You must be surprised to know
that people long as far as medieval, in kings and queens time period
especially in European countries of Italy, England and France have used
glass made furnitures in different ways to give them a separate identity
from the rest. People with refined tastes, have always used designed
work of glass to appear different from the ranksGlass furniture has seen
many types of materials defining its make since the time it arrived.
From silica, a type of sand used to make glass sheets which were then
blended with wooden furniture to give a modern contemporary look to
nowadays fully assembled, precision engineered glass components
supported by classic metallic touch, glass furniture have seen it all.
Whatever
the transition, over the years, glass furniture has been able to keep
all of its charm and extraordinarily diverse qualities intact.
Glass furnitures: its unique features
Glass
is fragile yet resistant, solid yet light, beautiful and at the same
time, functional. They are perfect for dark walled less spaced interiors
or those rooms without many windows, because glass absorbs less light
than wood, metal, or stone. It gives a virtual addition of space by
reflecting light in your home. Secondly, the best gift of glass
furniture for any home owners who are choosy about designing their homes
or offices is that it does not need to be coordinated to match woodwork
or surrounding colors. It is one of the classic intrinsic qualities of
glass is that it will blend perfectly with any interior design theme
and/or color scheme.
A touch of style and sophistication is
instantly added when decorating with glass furniture. Glass works
wonders when you have to beautify a space instantly. Glass lends a touch
of beauty and elegance to any area. Glass side or center tables like
coffee tables are easy for decorating purposes, but they are also highly
functional. Glass-topped tables are less susceptible to spills and
staining with clean wipe using your regular glass cleaner will get back
your beautiful furniture.Glass furniture also has a symbol of
transparency. This gives a neat look and therefore enables the flow of
positive vibes. Glass cuts through the boredom in office environment
too. The days of the heavy solid wood furnitures ruling the roost, is on
decline. Also these days, transparency is the in-thing in offices in UK
as well as around the world and as a result glass furnitures are
increasingly making way in the professional corporate world
Glass furnitures: what to look before buying
One
of the greatest fear for you as a buyer of glass furnitures is whether
it is safe and long lasting. The good news, relax!, technology has taken
care of it. Almost all glass furnitures are made from tempered glasses
or toughened glasses nowadays and if the one you are buying are not,
keep your self away from it. The reason for this is other types of glass
when breaks gives out sharp broken pieces and there are many cases of
people getting severely injured with this pieces whereas when tempered
glass breaks, it breaks into small pieces that aren't likely to cause
serious injury. Glass that has been tempered can stand up to oven-like
temperatures and a lot of abuse. Its much spoken durability will not
leave you with furniture full of scratches and bruises. It is a very
strong material that can withstand a lot of scratches from rough
tableware or crushing due to something heavy being dropped. This
manufacturing quality of tempered glass makes it a beautiful piece of
work that is intended to be used time and again for many years to come.
However there are many glass furnitures shops who advise their glass
furnitures to be tempered which is proved wrong when the accident
happens.
