Buying Guide

For an alternative to buying a glass front storage cabinet, you can create a fresh modern look by putting glass panels in existing storage cabinets with a few simple steps and the right tools and supplies. First, determine what type of storage cabinet doors you have. Look for those with panel inserts that are raised or flush. Solid cabinet doors are not ideal for replacing with glass fronts.

Unfasten the cabinet doors without taking down the hinges and measure the panel areas, including the width, height, and thickness. Clamp the frame to your workspace and remove the panels with a router or circular saw. You may need a chisel to free corners and lift the panel out.

For the glass panel inserts, you can provide the measurements to a professional glazier for custom cuts. You must consider what type of glass to use. Choices range from transparent to frosted to textured glass options. Ensure that you use tempered glass for safety.

Apply clear silicone caulk around the panel frame’s edges, carefully lay the glass in place, and press. Let dry fully before rehanging. Other options to secure the glass panels include brackets or mirror clips.

A glass front storage cabinet acts as both functional storage space and an elegant piece of furniture in your home. There are several pros to glass front cabinets. They provide safe housing for delicate dishware while allowing you to show it off. In the kitchen, glass fronts allow for easy visibility of your items so you don’t have to remember which cabinet they are in and guests don’t need to hunt for cups or plates.

The only challenge with glass front cabinets is that stored items look better when they are organized. With see-through glass panels, the storage cabinet looks messy if these items are placed haphazardly. You can easily fix this with a short organizing session, which leaves your space looking refreshed.

A glass front storage cabinet will likely be slightly more expensive than an all-wood cabinet. Why? It takes time and skill to cut and fit glass panes into specific wooden cabinets, and some types of glass can simply be more expensive than some types of wood.

There’s also a process known as ‘glazing’ that a craftsman must perform to finish a glass front storage cabinet, and that takes time and additional materials as well.
