4 Way Glass Table Tops Can Modernise Your Home

July 14, 2025April 17, 2024 by Adam Blundell

Revitalising your home and propelling it into the modern era need not be an arduous or expensive chore. Among the myriad of simple yet impactful enhancements you can adopt, glass tabletops stand out. These elegant additions are not only perfect for protecting cherished antiques or giving your traditional wooden tables a contemporary twist but also for breathing new life into your overall home décor. Let’s delve into the benefits of integrating glass tabletops into your living space.

1. They Help Brighten Up Your Space

Glass tabletops possess a remarkable ability to open up any room, creating a sense of expanded space and enhancing natural light. This quality is particularly advantageous for smaller homes, where creating the illusion of more space is often desired. The reflective surface of a glass table can disperse light throughout the room, making the area appear larger and more inviting.

2. They’re Easy to Keep Clean

One of the most appealing aspects of glass tabletops is their low maintenance. Unlike wood, which may require specific cleaners and can be prone to staining, glass surfaces can be swiftly and easily wiped clean. Regular cleaning with a simple glass cleaner can keep your tabletop sparkling, ensuring it remains a focal point in your room without demanding too much effort on your part.

3. They Help Protect Your Furniture

For those looking to preserve the longevity and appearance of their furniture, glass tabletops offer an ideal solution. Acting as a protective layer, they shield the underlying surface from potential damage caused by everyday use. From preventing scratches from keys and ornaments to offering a safeguard against spills, a glass tabletop protector can keep your cherished pieces in pristine condition for years to come.

4. They Offer Unlimited Styling Options

Glass is a remarkably versatile material that can complement any interior style. Whether you prefer the timeless elegance of clear toughened glass or the subtle sophistication of a frosted finish, glass tabletops can be customised to fit your aesthetic preferences. There’s no need to overhaul your existing décor; a glass tabletop can seamlessly integrate with various materials and colour schemes, providing endless styling possibilities.

What Our Customers Say

Andrew Cooke

Superb customer service from the Express Toughening team – when I made a mistake on my order online, they dealt with the issue quickly organising partial refund immediately. My order arrived quickly and their courier messaged me before delivery to check I was in. Quality product at the best price I found online.

Kiron Kular

A massive Thankyou to Helen from Express Toughening for being so patient, co-operative and helpful with my orders. She resolved a re-make without any fuss and in an extremely timely manner. If you want glass – go to Express Toughening and ask for Helen!

Andy Beviere

Extremely easy company to deal with, glass ordered weeks ago and asked for a specific delivery date due to glass testing and no one being onsite. Delivered on time and when asked for other types glass stated they couldn’t help but recommended an equally helpful company!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

Brian White

I’ve used Express Toughening twice now and have been very impressed with the glass they have supplied and also the helpfulness of the staff. The first job was a couple of years ago when they supplied me with a 6mm satin frosted toughened glass door for our shower room. From my measurements they supplied a fabulous door which had the hinge and lock holes cut out and also took into account the out of square measurement of the door frame. It fitted a treat and is stunning to look at.

More recently (late last year) they supplied me with painted toughened glass splash backs (7 items altogether in 6mm glass with the biggest being 2.1 metres long), all cut to my sizes and with numerous switch and socket cut-outs. My local glass supplier said they could not cut out the close together sockets and switches, but Express did and got it spot on!

As with the glass door, the splash backs were delivered to me by Expresses’ own transport and without any problems and quality issues.

After the scary bit of fitting them all the result is faultless and stunning. Thanks go to Alex who helped me with the ordering process and technical aspects of glass splash backs.

David Convery

4mm toughened glass for greenhouse. Although slightly dubious about ordering from a company I’ve never heard of and not local (300mile away) I’m so glad I took the plunge. A great customer service from Helen and the team from start to finish, clearly there was nothing for me to worry about.

Their website is easy to use and made ordering online a doddle and for those shapes, they don’t have on their website a quick email and rough diagram sorted any issues there. All glass arrived on time well packed and with no breakages.

It’s a company I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and I’d definitely recommend it to others who need quality glass cut to size.

Tony Fields

Exactly what it says on the tin.

Definitely recommended.
(And we’re on the Scottish border)

Tony Owen

Fantastic service, fantastic prices and fantastic products – I could not recommend Express Toughening highly enough – I got an immediate response to my request for a quotation, and Helen was so helpful in answering my questions. Order placement was easy and everything arrived exactly on time and as promised. I won’t look anywhere else for my next order – great prices (way cheaper than other quotes) and great service!

Thank you!

Sam Richardson
