...2. Clean and Sanitary

Glass is non porous so it won't let bacteria grow and it won't stain. It always looks crisp and clean. You can even place hot pots on it without worrying about damaging it. And the only cleaner you'll need is glass cleaner.

3. Durable

Glass is a lot stronger than you might think. You could set up to 300 pounds on it and it wouldn't break. And you could set a pot that was 700 degrees on it and it wouldn't crack. So what more do you need. That's pretty darn durable. That said should your glass crack for any reason do dispose of it as cracked glass is unsafe.

4. Maintenance

Glass always looks great - it's worst enemy is fingerprints and dust so just keep a glass cleaner handy and a quick wipe and it always looks fresh. If you get some light scratches on your glass just use a soft scrub to remove them.

5. Cost

You can find recycled glass for anywhere from $50 to $100 per square foot depending on the type of glass you are looking at.

6. Appearance

Your glass can be textured, sandblasted, etched, smooth, patterned, or grooved. You have plenty of choices.

Recycle glass can be found online, at local recycle shops, in your local newspaper and a host of other places. You can then get the glass cut to the size and shape you want at a local glass cutter.

Glass is able to produce a look and feel that's difficult to find in other materials. Glass lines are clean, refreshing, modernistic, and very appealing. With glass counters you can easily change your dcor and have your glass counters fit. They will simply morph taking on the new look and continuing serving you.

So if the time has come to give your kitchen, bath, or bar a facelift go green with recycled glass countertops.

More times than not, you will be glad that you learned all about recycled glass countertops. You will find yourself referring back to this information many times as well. Especially when you are in the middle of installing your countertops.
