WHITE GLASS COUNTERTOPS??

8 years ago

What can you tell lme about these? I'm speaking of pure opaque white with no embedded stones. I have this in my bathroom in a New York apartment; these are called Lazza glass and come from a local supplier. I'd now like to use them in a Florida condo renovation. But I cannot find a source apart from the one in New York City. Has anyone seen these? I spied something similar in a stoneyard but they were made in China and that made me leery.

Anyone have these, or know where I can find an exammple in south Florida, or anywhere else that will ship at a not crazy price?

    Can you post a photo? I don't have flash on my computer and it won't let me look without flash.

    I can show a photo of mine if I can figure out how to post it from my iPhone! Will give it a try tomorrow....

    I wouldn't use glass in a kitchen that was ever used. Virtually irreparable.

    It's in quite a few kitchens in very high end new condos in Manhattan. IN the listings they talk about Lazza glass as a status feature, like Wolf and sub Zero appliances. Maybe the owners don't cook! But I am looking to use it in a bathroom.

    This photo of a bathroom in my apartment shows the Lazza glass countertop.

    I hope to find a vendor in South Florida so I can use it again in a condo bathroom:

    It looks beautiful. Have you been happy with it? How long have you had it?

    Also, the rest of the bathroom is lovely. I'm sure it shouldn't be hard to find a dealer in Florida.

    Thank you! I love the glass countertop, and am very happy with how the bathroom came out. The renovation took place about 8 years ago.

    I looked at glass countertops when I was redoing my very small Master bath, 2 of the local glass companies did countertops. I ended up not doing glass because of the price, but look and see what the local glass companies have to offer.

    "Please disregard the above comment from people that have obviously never had this material in their hands."


    Jeff:


    Your response is the logical fallacy of relevance, ad hominem circumstantial. You have addressed my circumstances (whether or not I've ever had the material in my hands) instead of addressing my argument that glass tops, and versions thereof, are virtually irreparable.


    Please do.

    Joe...
    Ive installed millions of dollars of textured glass formed in my ovens, as well as regular window glass (backpainted), and White Glass/Nanoglass. You disparagingly commented upon White Glass/Nanoglass which in my 25 years of fabricating experience, is THE HARDEST MATERIAL WE HAVE EVER FABRICATED...and whose RARE chips can be repaired using common Akemi or equal and color matching techniques.
    Our 50hp Waterjets and 20hp CNC saws must be slowed down to a crawl to get an acceptable cut quality...before sending on to our polishing station. To give you an idea, typically, we take 3x as long to cut WhiteGlass vs Abs. Black Granite.

    Regular window Glass chips can be repaired using Hextal epoxy (which is ultra clear) and does not yellow.

    Im not suggesting that a shattered piece is worthy is saving....merely chips.
    Window glass is much more prone to chipping bc the 45 bevel typically offered still leaves 4 sharp edges.
    This is why we manually roundover edges on all surfaces we offer...so much better at dissipating energetic strikes from bottles, etc. and preventing chips in the first place.

    Thanks, but how inconspicuous are the repairs please? Pictures?

    Joe,

    If you want to make a living repairing seams...that is fine...I do not.

    Reason: That piece...or any piece, once fractured, is a liability...and...you can still see the fracture...in your pics and every other one Ive attempted. That material couldve been replaced for about the same as repaired. I would have advised rip and replace for safety reasons alone. You do not.

    As for repairs, I do not take close ups of my repairs, because there are so few in White Glass.

    Lets leave it at that...

    I have white glass countertops and they cannot be beat! No more granite for me! They are stronger than anything else, don’t stain, and they are pure white. Super easy to clean and maintain, no sealing, etc.

    scc1777 why are you bringing up a 4 year old thread?

    As long as this thread was brought up, I'd like to report that I ended up using white glass in a second bathroom and I'm very happy with how it looks and how it is holding up. I bought the slab from Artistic Tile in Manhattan; they ship.

    Did you ever find a place in South Florida? We are in South Florida and are looking for white glass OR sea glass countertops. We found Ash White Sea Glass at Haifa Limestone but can’t find anywhere else that sells it besides China which concerns me. Love your glass counters.
