Glass Lazy Susan For Table

Under most circumstances, these lazy Susans are made from tempered glass. In comparison to regular glass, it's much stronger due to the chemical or thermal process it undergoes. The process of tempering put the interior of the glass into tension while the exterior surfaces experience compression. In doing so, if the glass should experience a break, it will crumble into granular chunks instead of jagged shards. Because it’s more difficult to break in comparison to regular glass, it’s often used for cooking and kitchen materials like the glass turntable in a microwave, for example.

Depending on how large the lazy Susan is, you may not be able to fit it into the dishwasher. Therefore, you’ll need mix water with a mild detergent, put it into a spray bottle, and clean the surface at least once per week.

One of the most beneficial aspects of using glass in décor is that it’s not only available in its standard clear variety but also in a rainbow of colors. Therefore, if you would like to add some subtle color to your design, it’s possible to do so with a glass lazy Susan turntable. You can also find these lazy Susans in a variety of styles, as well. For example, if you’re looking to add a touch of modern elegance to your room, you could opt for a lazy Susan featuring a chrome strip around its edge. For those who would like to add a traditional element to their dining room, they could select a glass lazy Susan turntable featuring a wooden center.

If you'd like to purchase a large lazy Susan that will take up the entire center of your table, then you'll want to ensure that there's at least 15" for standard 12" plates around the edge of the table. The best way to obtain this measurement is by measuring from the center of the table to its edge. Then, subtract 15" for the plates, and multiply that figure by two to obtain the correct measurement for your glass lazy Susan turntable. These measurements work best for square or round tables. If you’re measuring for a rectangular or oval table, you’ll have to adjust to a slightly smaller lazy Susan so too much crowding isn’t experienced by some of your diners. You’ll also have to compromise because some of your diners will have to reach a bit further.

Whether you're throwing a party, or just want to better organize your home, Lazy Susans provide a versatile, low-cost way to make food and objects easily accessible.

Use one to share condiments at your BBQ or nibbles at your wine tasting evening, organize cupboards and cabinets, or place a Lazy Susan on your worktop to simply brighten up your decor.

Every home could do with a Lazy Susan, and here's how to pick the best one.

Most Lazy Susans are round by design and they can all spin 360 degrees. That's where the similarities end. Available in a vast array of colors, designs and heights, here's how to choose the best Lazy Susan for your home.

Materials

• Wood - natural and easy on the eye, wood is a good choice for use in traditional decors. It can also provide an interesting contrast to a modern look as a feature piece. Don't use wood if you are likely to have hot products or items that will stain. Ideal for cold nibbles and decorative purposes.

• Plastic - easy to clean and durable, use plastic models indoors and out. However, just be sure that you don't use very hot foods with them. Plastic Lazy Susan's can also be a good low-cost option for use as storage.

• Ceramic - complement your traditional, cozy decor with a ceramic Lazy Susan. Ceramic cleans well when enameled, just be aware that it can break easily when dropped, so busy households with large pets and children may want to look at plastic versions.

• Glass - Glass Lazy Susans look great in a contemporary setting. They also set the focus firmly on their contents. However, be aware that fingerprints can be an issue, as can breakability.

• Metal - if you have an industrial style look going on, or a minimalistic or modern style, you may want to opt for a metal Lazy Susan. They are also extremely hard wearing and robust. Choose treated versions if you are planning to use it outside regularly. Metal versions can also stand up to hot food and BBQing accessories.

Occasions

• Party - for parties involving drinks with nibbles, rather than dinner parties in their own right, opt for a Lazy Susan with segmented removable compartments. They can also be a good choice for various oils, dips and sauces, making refills extra easy.

• Outdoors - you'll need a robust Lazy Susan for outdoor use. If the wind suddenly picks up or the heavens open, you don't want your Lazy Susan to become damaged. Heavyweight plastic models make a good choice.

• Dining table - choose a model with no sides so that your guests can easily reach for bread, condiments and extras whilst seated. Match the size of your Lazy Susan to your table, you don't want it to take up too much space, nor to be inaccessible. They work best with round tables, allowing everyone to reach without stretching.

Styles

• Two-tier - great for storing and organizing small items such as spices, two-tier Lazy Susans make a good choice for tall cupboards, maximizing your storage space.

• Deep Sides - Handy for guests that are standing, or low tables, deep sides will help keep your contents from falling off and are essential for storage. They are also great for families with kids who tend to love spinning Lazy Susans. Otherwise, sides can be an impediment at the dinner table when you just want to reach over for something.

• Compartments - good for nibbles or if you buy sauces in bulk, simply transfer them to your Lazy Susan for easy access and less waste than putting out a huge bottle.

Colors

• Bright - make a statement with a bright colored or printed Lazy Susan. Pick up an accent color or link to a theme in your home. There are thousands of fantastic options available, so don't play it safe. Bright colors are a good choice for parties and can help liven up your decor.

• Natural - wooden Lazy Susans or ceramic tones look good in traditional decors and can provide a touch of warmth in a minimalistic modern setting.

• Transparent - let your offerings take center stage with a transparent glass model. They work best with minimalist modern decors. Transparent Lazy Susan's are also best for storing and organizing items, allowing you to see labels, even on smaller products.
