When you’re looking to keep a your glass top round kitchen table sets in the best possible condition, there are a few tips and tricks that you can have up your sleeve. The first few pertain to regular maintenance. While a glass top table can be lovely and minimal, the fact remains that it will show every piece of dust and every streak on its surface! This means that you will have to dust and wipe the table top regularly to keep it smooth and shiny.
Secondly, it’s good to remember that even though a glass top is hard, it can be scratched—and that scratch will show! Therefore, especially if you’re using your table as a dining surface, it’s crucial to use soft placemats to keep the surface in optimal condition.
Tempered glass is the most durable glass for a glass top kitchen table. Also known as toughened glass, it is annealed glass that has been heat-treated to about 700 degrees Celsius by convection, conduction, and radiation. This makes it thermal-resistant, scratch resistant, and four to seven times stronger than annealed glass.
Regular and annealed glass tops may break when exposed to high temperatures but tempered glass can withstand hot items. Nevertheless, it is a good practice to place a coaster or placemat before putting that scorching hot pan on a tempered glass top kitchen table.
Tempered glass may break when it is subjected to an unusually strong force. If it breaks though, it will not shatter into tiny sharp pieces or long, jagged shards that could cause injury. Instead, a tempered glass kitchen table top will break into small, square pieces.
