When ordering glass shelves, keep the following criteria in mind:

• Thickness of glass. Ranges from 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″, and 3/4″.
• Shape of the glass shelf. You can choose from square, rectangle, oval, or round shapes. Keep in mind that there is a limit to extension of the glass shelves from its supporting wall.
• Glass edges. Choose a simple polished edge for a traditional and elegant look or a beveled edge for a more modern 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.
• Glass colors. 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 include chrome, brushed nickel, black, white, satin chrome, brass, and many more. Choosing the right finish is essential to ensuring coordination of the glass shelves with the rest of the space.
• Whether you are making a new shelf for your kitchen, kitchen inside cabinets, bookshelves, 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.
