Luxurious Glass Wall Shelves
Wall shelving today is becoming increasing popular in the residential housing market. Wooden shelves are being widely used for their grand and attractive appearance while glass shelving has slowly been gaining popularity as manufacturing innovations render it cheaper to create.
When you decide to exchange your wall shelves with glass shelves, it is essential to check their material type; heavy entertainment appliances, such as TVs and stereos may break weak glass shelves. Make sure the glass shelves you are having installed are made of tempered glass so they will not break once you put something heavy on them.
Tempered glass is often at least a quarter of an inch thick and the edges may have a greenish hue. In addition, tempered glass is much less likely to shatter into sharp, jagged shards when it hits a hard surface. This is due to a rigorous industrial process which conditions it in the event of such occurrences.
You also have to consider where the glass shelves will be placed. It would be best if you place the shelves in areas where there are no doors, as doors may pose the danger of damage to the glass.
Glass wall shelves come in a variety of different styles. One such style is the floating glass shelf. They are called floating glass shelves because they give an illusion that they are not attached to anything. This particular shelving unit utilizes a tongue and groove system where the shelves are attached directly into the wall. Floating glass shelves open whole new possibilities for shelving units. They can be used to house entertainment systems, books, display collections, plates and a host of other items that would normally sit on a floor-bound shelf.
The price of glass shelving is often comparable to wood or metal shelving options; most homeowners will be able to afford a variation of this product. Shelving costs are relative to their design and functionality. The more unique and elaborate the shelving is, the more expensive it will be.
