Are floating glass shelves a safe solution for a bathroom?

Yes, floating glass shelves are a safe solution for a bathroom when the glass is toughened and the brackets used are specifically designed to support shelves made of glass.

Tempered glass is a remarkably safe and durable option. It’s strong enough to hold various bathroom products and won’t suddenly crack and fall off one day. Make sure you properly install the floating glass shelves and you’ll have stable and aesthetically pleasing bathroom shelves in no time.

How many floating glass shelves to get for a bathroom?

The number of floating glass shelves to add in your bathroom really depends on how many items you’re planning on storing on them and the layout of the actual room:

For the first part, start by running an inventory of everything that you need to store tidily, from additional towels to creams, and, if you want, decorative items
As for your bathroom’s layout, consider how much wall space you have left: if it’s rather wide, it might be easier to only introduce a couple of longer shelves; however, if it’s fairly narrow, consider smaller or corner shelves that you can pile up vertically

What type of glass is best for floating shelves for bathroom?

It is always best to opt for tempered glass if you plan on storing heavy items on the floating shelves. This type of glass is much more resilient, shatters into small pieces if broken, and is overall the strongest option out there.

However, not all bathroom shelves need to be toughened. If you’re shopping for bathroom shelves on a tight budget, consider annealed glass instead. Unlike tempered glass, annealed glass never breaks spontaneously. Moreover, it can be safely used for display shelves that hold light objects such as towels, picture frames, and perfume bottles. The main downside of this glass is the way it cracks into large, sharp shards when broken. For more durability and peace of mind, make sure the annealed glass shelves are at least 1/2″ thick.
