Being super durable, versatile, and up to five times (yes, five times!) stronger than standard, everyday glass, it’s easy to see why toughened glass is such a popular choice in modern interior design.
Guaranteed to modernise and add a touch of sophistication to any space, it’s an addition that every 21st-century homeowner should consider.
But how exactly can you incorporate toughened glass into your home’s design?
In this article, the experts at EGW share some of their favourite, most creative ways you can use glass around your home.
Glass balustrades
If you’re a frequent scroller on Pinterest, then you’ll be no stranger to the beauty of glass balustrades.
This popular option replaces traditional wooden spindles with large, strong glass panels that allow more natural light to flood in through the windows, brightening up hallways and making smaller spaces appear much larger:
A guaranteed way to transform your home and help you create a sleek, open-air feel.
Glass kitchen splashbacks
Another much-loved option, glass kitchen splashbacks are an excellent way to incorporate toughened glass into your interior design, and a surefire way to elevate your kitchen’s aesthetic.
Not only do toughened glass splashbacks help elevate tired cooking areas, but they also help protect the walls behind from stains and moisture, allowing you to maintain a sleek, clean appearance.
Available in various shapes, sizes, colours, and prints, you’re bound to find something that fits in perfectly with the rest of your kitchen design!
Glass bath and shower screens
Looking for an easy, affordable way to upgrade your main family bathroom? Perhaps your en-suite needs a bit of a spruce up?
Toughened glass bath and shower screens could be the answer, and with a range of different options available, you’re sure to find everything you’ve been searching for.
The transparency of toughened glass will open your space up beautifully and is super easy to clean, helping keep your bathroom feeling fresh at all times.
Glass hearths
Glass hearths offer the ideal combination of safety, style, and sophistication, and are a captivating modern option to help you protect the floor surrounding your fireplace or wood-burning stove.
Toughened glass offers excellent heat resistance properties, and can withstand temperatures of up to 250°C so you can be confident that it’s a sensible choice.
And, with various shapes and sizes available, you’re guaranteed to find something that suits your space.
Custom glass mirrors
Not only do mirrors give the illusion of more space and light, but they also act as a stunning decorative element, too.
Of course, there are plenty of standard shapes and sizes available, but with a custom-made mirror, you’ll have something that slots seamlessly into your space, and a one-of-a-kind design to show off proudly.
