Glass Shelves

Glass shelves are a part of our every day lives and make a great accent for virtually any room in our homes and offices. Dulles Glass and Mirror specializes in manufacturing and installation of custom glass shelving.

Whether you are making a new shelf for your kitchen, kitchen inside cabinets, book shelves, bar, bedroom, bathroom, or your office glass shelves bring a touch of elegance and give the illusion of an increase in size and depth of the space.

Glass shelves are less intrusive than wood or metal shelves. They allow passage of light leaving a glow on the translucent material. To magnify this effect you can use special lighting from above or below the space depending on the look you are trying to achieve.

When Ordering Glass Shelves

When ordering glass shelves the following criteria are important to keep in mind:

• Size of the glass shelf. The ability to cut glass into any size and shape truly opens the doors of design. Although your imagination and size of your space should dictate this criterion, there are some limitations which most of the time, depend on the support that is available for the shelf. In most glass shelves the size does not have to be millimeter perfect, in these instances you can measure the size, call it in for a quote, and place your order for pick up or delivery.
• Thickness of the glass shelf. Obviously thinner glass is used for smaller applications whereas thicker glass is used for larger applications. The typical thickness of glass shelves ranges from 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4".
• Shape of the glass shelf. Depending on availability of your space, you can choose from square, rectangle, oval or round shapes. Just keep in mind that there is a limit to extension of the glass shelves from its supporting wall.
• Edges of the glass shelves. Choose a simple polished edge for a traditional and elegant look or a beveled edge for a more modern and futuristic style.
• Tempered or not. Although in most instances glass shelves are made of flat sheets of glass, Depending on the size and location of the glass shelf safety can be an issue. In these cases, we can use tempered glass.
• Type of the glass Shelves. Options include clear glass, frosted glass, rain glass, tinted glass, patterned glass, ultra clear glass, bronze glass, gray glass, and more.
• Hardware to hold the glass Shelves. Hardware finishes to consider include chrome, brushed nickel, black, white, satin chrome, brass, and many more. Choosing the right finish is essential in ensuring coordination of the glass shelves with the rest of the space.
