So if you read the Granite Transformations blog you probably know that we offer glass countertops, though many people don’t exactly know what that entails. We are familiar with standard stone-based options like granite, marble, silestone, and soapstone. The idea of glass countertops is intriguing – a shiny, smooth surface that can come in a wide array of colors, perhaps a wider array than than can be found within a stone-based inventory. Is it durable? Yes! Let us explain the process.

Glass countertops add an elegant element to your kitchen.
If budget cuts at home mean you had to forego the fancy wine cooler, but you still need a place to stash your bottle collection, look no further than the kitchen counter. Industrious DIY-ers aimed at creating eco-friendly home furnishings have been making their own recycled glass countertops for years now by mixing crushed wine bottles with a concrete base. Luckily, for those of us who consider popping a cork to be more than enough work for one day, commercial vendors have caught on to the recycled glass trend.
Recycled glass countertops are made using up to 72 percent recycled materials, allowing you to feel good about helping the environment while giving your old countertop a much needed upgrade. The same properties that make glass tough enough to last more than 4,000 years in a landfill are what make it strong and durable in your home. Today, glass from building demolition, windshields, traffic lights and pickle jars all find a second life as recycled countertops.

A clean bathroom is no joke. It’s a real pity when we spend hours and hours cleaning the tiles and surfaces of the room and end up dealing with stains that are impossible to vanish.
Ironically, the place that people relates the most with cleanness is the one that gives us more trouble for its unpredictability, especially when we have guests over that can’t be blindfolded to stop them from seeing true chaos.
If you can relate to these situations, maybe it’s time to think about giving your bathroom a new and fresh makeover.

Getting into the shower can draw a variety of emotions from a person. It can mean a break in slumber and an entrance into a new, busy, work-filled day. It can be relaxation after an intense workout. It can also be a time when the last thing you want to do is stay in the shower because it’s so gross. I can personally attest to finding myself feeling closer to the latter on occasion, and when a tub or shower is gross, grimy, and stained it is hard to find any enjoyment at all. Porcelain surfaces don’t always get the job done, and cheaply manufactured, textured surfaces can be hard to clean. This is why we try to bring people the best mix of easy to clean surfaces with stylish design. Kiss your soap scummy walls goodbye.

Remember when you decided to uncork that bottle of Shiraz to celebrate your birthday last year? Well, it’s part of your countertop this year. Now, I’m not sure that you celebrated your birthday in such a fashion, or if you like Shiraz, or if you even enjoy beverages originally housed in glass bottles, but one thing is certain – whatever glass bottle gets drank over the course of time will inevitably lead a long and prosperous life as a post-consumer, re-propagated product. So just think, when you’re uncorking a new bottle of wine on your new glass composite countertop – you know, the scratch resistant, un-dentable one – you can rest assured that you’re getting a big fat figurative pat on the back from Mother Nature. Let us stroll through the life-span of a bottle as it becomes your brand new recycled glass countertop.
Glass bottles, ready to get processed and re-used.
