Glass Countertops NYC | Glass Factory Pro

A glass countertop is a non-porous surface. Wine, oil, citrus, and other everyday spills won’t soak in, so there’s no sealing schedule and no gradual staining like you get with natural stone. It cleans easily and maintains its original appearance for years.

Glass Factory fabricates and installs custom glass countertops throughout New York City. Every countertop is made from toughened safety glass, custom cut to fit your cabinetry, and available in a range of colors, textures, and thicknesses for kitchen islands, bars, vanities, reception desks, and commercial counters.

What Does a Glass Countertop Cost?

Glass countertops are quoted per project, because no two runs of cabinetry are the same. What determines the number:

Area & thickness — Total square footage and how thick the glass needs to be for the span and the use.
Finish — Back-painted color, textured, or low-iron clear each price differently.
Edge profile — Flat polished is standard; beveled, mitred, and custom profiles cost more.
Cut-outs — Sink openings, faucet holes, and cooktop cut-outs are made before toughening.
Shape — Straight runs are simplest; L-shapes, curves, and islands with returns take more fabrication.
Support & installation — Overhangs and breakfast bars need supports engineered for the span.

Every countertop starts with a template of your actual cabinets. Contact us and we’ll measure and give you a firm quote.

Where Glass Countertops Work

Kitchen Islands

A back-painted or low-iron top on an island — the surface that gets looked at most in the room.

Kitchen Counters

Full runs cut around sinks and cooktops, matched to the backsplash.

Bars & Breakfast Counters

Raised bar tops and overhangs, often with integrated lighting under the glass.

Bathroom Vanities

Non-porous and easy to wipe down — no grout, no sealing, nothing to absorb toothpaste or cosmetics.

Reception Desks & Commercial Counters

Front-of-house surfaces in offices, salons, hotels, and retail that have to take constant use and cleaning.

Restaurant & Bar Service Counters

Hospitality surfaces that get wiped down dozens of times a day.

Why Glass Instead of Stone or Quartz

Non-porous, no sealing
Granite and marble need periodic sealing and still stain from oil, wine, and acids. Glass absorbs nothing at all, and there’s no maintenance schedule.

Hygienic
Nothing penetrates the surface, so there’s nowhere for bacteria to sit — which is why glass is used in commercial and food-service settings.

Heat and stain resistant
Toughened glass handles hot pans set down on it and doesn’t mark from citrus, wine, or coffee.

Any color, exactly
Back-painted glass matches a specific reference rather than whatever slab happens to be available — and unlike stone, every piece is consistent.

Reflects light
A glass top bounces light back into the room instead of absorbing it — noticeable in a small or north-facing New York kitchen.

Lighting options
Glass can be lit from below or from the edge, which stone cannot do at all.

Finishes, Edges & Thickness

Back-painted (colored) — Painted from underneath in any color; the most popular finish. Opaque, consistent, matched to your cabinetry.

Low-iron clear — Clear glass with no green cast, used where the material below the glass is meant to be seen.

Textured & fluted — Surface texture that hides fingerprints and adds tactility.

Frosted & sandblasted — A soft matte finish that diffuses light.

Edge profiles — Flat polished, beveled, mitred, or a custom profile.

Thickness — Specified for the span and support; overhangs and unsupported sections need more.

Integrated lighting — LED edge or under-lighting built into the installation.

How It Works

Templating

We take a physical template of your cabinets rather than working from drawings, so the top matches the run that actually got built.

Specification

Finish, color, thickness, edge profile, and every cut-out are confirmed before fabrication.

Fabrication

The top is cut, sink and faucet openings are made, edges are worked, and the glass is toughened and finished.

Delivery & Installation

Our team sets the top on prepared supports and seals it. Oversized pieces are handled by more than one installer.

Built for New York Kitchens

A countertop has to fit the cabinets that exist, not the ones on the plan — and in a New York apartment those are rarely square. We template the actual run before anything is cut, and we check the route in as well: a full island top has to make it through the lobby, the freight elevator, and the turn into the apartment. In buildings that require it, we handle COI documentation and coordinate the delivery window with management.

FAQ

Are glass countertops durable?

Yes. We make our countertops from tempered glass, which is shockproof, heat-resistant, and absolutely safe, breaking into small blunt pieces if it ever fails. The non-porous surface is also waterproof, so spills won’t stain or soak in. It’s a durable, low-maintenance work surface that stays looking new.

Can glass countertops handle hot pots and daily kitchen use?

Yes. Tempered glass tolerates everyday kitchen heat and resists scratching under normal use. For long contact with very hot cookware a trivet is still good practice, mostly to protect what’s underneath. Day to day, it stands up to cooking, prep, and cleaning without trouble.

How do I clean a glass countertop?

Cleaning is simple — warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth are all it needs. With no seams or grout lines, there’s nowhere for grime to collect, so the whole surface wipes clean in one pass. Avoid abrasive scouring powders to keep it scratch-free.

Can glass countertops be customized in color and finish?

Yes. We can sandblast, color, print, or laminate the glass to suit your design, so the countertop ties into your kitchen or bar. Edges are polished for a clean, safe finish. Each piece is made to your measurements and taste.

Do you install glass countertops across NYC?

Yes, with delivery and installation included. We serve New York — Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx — and New Jersey and the surrounding area. Contact us for a free quote on your countertop.
