In October 2024, our team completed a commercial project in Brooklyn, NY, delivering a custom-made 3/8″ starfire glass table top with rounded corners for a large wooden table. The client requested a high-quality glass surface with rounded corners for additional safety. This custom glass table top added both elegance and durability to the table, making it a standout feature in the client’s space.
Client Vision
The client’s goal was to enhance their large wooden table with a stylish and durable glass table top. They specifically requested rounded corners to ensure extra safety in a high-traffic environment. By choosing 3/8″ starfire glass with a low iron content, they achieved a crystal-clear appearance that complemented the aesthetics of the table and the surrounding space.
Why Choose Starfire Glass for Table Tops?
Starfire glass is a premium choice for applications where clarity and color neutrality are essential. Unlike regular glass, starfire glass contains less iron, which significantly reduces the greenish tint commonly seen in thicker glass. This makes starfire glass ideal for table tops, as it maintains a pure, clear appearance that allows the beauty of the underlying surface to shine through.
The thickness of 3/8″ provided durability and a substantial feel, making it well-suited for commercial settings. The rounded corners, measured to a precise 10-cent radius, not only added a touch of elegance but also enhanced safety, reducing the risk of injury in a busy environment.
Solution Provided
To meet the client’s needs, we began by taking exact measurements of the wooden table using a laser measuring tape. This ensured that the custom glass would fit perfectly without overhang or gaps. We then fabricated a 3/8″ starfire glass table top with 10-cent rounded corners, crafted to the client’s specifications.
The tempered glass was sourced from a high-quality manufacturer in Canada, ensuring durability and resistance to scratches and impacts. Once fabrication was completed, we carefully transported the table top to the client’s location and installed it, ensuring a perfect fit and alignment on the table.
Installation Details
The project involved a seven-day fabrication period, followed by a one-day delivery and installation. Our team handled the glass with the utmost care, ensuring that the rounded corners remained intact and scratch-free during transport. Upon arrival, we positioned the table top on the wooden table, confirming that it fit securely and evenly on the surface.
Impact on the Space
The new starfire glass table top transformed the wooden table, adding a layer of sophistication while preserving the natural beauty of the wood. The clarity of the starfire glass allowed the table’s original color and texture to show through without distortion. The rounded corners provided added safety, making it suitable for a commercial environment where clients and staff move around frequently.
The table top not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the space but also added functionality, as the glass surface is easy to clean and maintain, protecting the wooden table from wear and tear.
Testimonial
The client was delighted with the result and shared the following feedback:
“Thank you, it looks amazing, great job!”
