Project Description
Hollingsworth Thick Glass Countertop
With the blue sky and green ocean sleeping precariously in the background, what better design than a watery, rippling, glasstop to match? This Hollingsworth Thick Glass Countertop shines with just the natural light penetrating the room. Likewise, the textured bottom surface ripples along with the rugged textured edges. At the same time, functional, practical, and very unique. Not everyday one sees a beautiful 2” thick glasstop installed in a high end kitchen.

THE GLASS
Sometimes a design product perfectly fits our client’s environment. With aqua colors all around, how perfect to use a Low Iron textured glass with subtle Aqua tint. Accordingly, with the sun radiating throughout the space, the heavy textured glasstop shimmers and reflects the warm sunlight. Also, with a smooth, flat, clear top surface, one is able to clearly view the crisp texture and the unique air bubbles floating with the glass. At the same time, the flat surface provided functionality. As well, the textured edges add a very unique design effect and show no fingerprints. This easy to clean glasstop is not only spectacular to view, but is a dream to maintain.
SPECIFICATIONS
At 2” thick, and 10’0 x 2’0 in size, this Thick Glass packs a punch. Weighing in at approximately 425 lbs. Low iron glass was used to form the glasstop.
INSTALLATION
Horizon Glass, Vancouver, handled and installed this Glass Countertop. Horizon produced extremely accurate templates to enable precise fabrication. As well, positioning and cushioning the glasstop to fit perfectly on top of the stone cabinet.
