Bespoke 19mm Clear Toughened Glass Table Top – Weybridge, Surrey

What was the brief for this glass table top?

The brief was to create a statement dining table top that enhanced the architectural quality of the space while remaining visually light and refined. The glass needed to complement a sculptural stone pedestal base and sit comfortably within a high-end, open-plan interior.

Why was 19mm glass chosen for this table?

19mm clear toughened glass was specified to provide visual presence, strength, and balance. At this thickness, the glass has a substantial, luxurious feel without appearing bulky. It also allows light to pass cleanly through the table, preserving sightlines and maintaining a sense of openness within the room.

What type of glass was used?

Clear toughened safety glass was used, manufactured to precise tolerances. Toughening ensures the glass is suitable for everyday use, providing strength, durability, and peace of mind in a family dining environment.

How does the glass interact with the interior design?

The clarity of the glass allows surrounding design elements to take centre stage — from the stone pedestal base to the upholstered dining chairs and feature lighting above. The glass reflects light subtly, enhancing the layered ceiling detail and chandeliers while maintaining a calm, elegant aesthetic.

Was the glass custom made?

Yes. The table top was fully bespoke, manufactured to exact dimensions to suit the base and room proportions. Edge finishing was carefully considered to ensure a smooth, refined perimeter that feels premium both visually and to the touch.

Why choose glass over timber or stone for a dining table?

Glass offers a unique balance of strength and lightness. Unlike solid materials, it does not visually dominate the space, making it ideal for rooms where proportion, symmetry, and light are key design features. It also allows architectural details beneath and around the table to remain visible.

Is 19mm glass practical for everyday dining?

Absolutely. Toughened glass is highly durable, resistant to impact, and easy to maintain. It provides a robust dining surface while retaining a refined, contemporary appearance suited to both formal and everyday use.

How is the glass supported safely?

The thickness and toughening process allow the glass to sit securely on the stone base with even load distribution. The result is a stable, balanced table top that feels solid and reassuring in use.

Does thick glass change the feel of a room?

Yes — in the best possible way. A thick glass table top adds weight and presence without visual heaviness. It anchors the dining area while allowing light, texture, and architectural features to flow uninterrupted through the space.
