Our advice Buying Guide
Glass wall shelves add a decorative sparkle to a living room. In addition, since they are mounted to the wall, they save space while allowing you to display the items you are proudest of. Clear glass shelves are unobtrusive and transparent. It makes white spaces look brighter and it keeps darker spaces from appearing too grave.
What are the most unique shapes of glass wall shelves?
Glass wall shelves for living room are available in a variety of shapes, including unique bent designs. Bent-glass shelves come in different configurations. The ends of some of these shelves are curved upwards like the side of a box. Others are fashioned like stair steps. The center part of such a shelf could hold one item, for example, and on either of the higher sides of the shelf another item could be displayed. A longer shelf featuring stair steps could really be an eye-catcher to showcase your display.
What's the load capacity of glass wall shelves?
Unless your items are very light in weight, pay attention to the load-bearing capability of the glass wall shelves. Although standard glass is available, tempered glass is four times stronger. Another reason to choose the latter glass is that it provides better protection against injury because if it is broken it will not shatter into small shards.
Three-eighths of an inch is the minimum thickness suggested for glass shelves. The next step up is one-half of an inch. Three-quarters of an inch thick is usually suggested to support heavier items. For example, a tempered glass shelf that is 11 inches wide, 16 inches long and 3/16 of an inch thick with one foot between supports could hold approx. 239 pounds.
Ask your seller what the weight limit is. Some companies that make glass shelves have online calculators that tell you the load capacity of the product they manufacture. As glass increases in thickness and as its supports or brackets are put closer together in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, its weight limit increases.
How are glass shelves supported?
With supports and brackets available in finishes such as steel and chrome and antique brass and bronze as well as white, you can make a decor statement by using them. Some supports show so little of themselves when you look at the shelf that they make the shelves seem to be floating on air. As far as attaching supports and brackets, the recommendation is that if the wall is made of Sheetrock, attach the shelf to a stud.
Glass wall shelves for living room promote better organization in the room. They also make it easy to cleanly display many kinds of items so you, your family and your friends can enjoy them. Anticipate some great conversation after you have installed these shelves.
