ThinkGlass client who installed his own glass countertop
We recently got a client who wanted to install his brand new glass countertop himself. We provided him with all the instructions on how to do it. Here is the feedback we received from him afterwards.
“Dear ThinkGlass staff,
Thank you so much for your help installing this. We’re thrilled, and I don’t mind telling you I had a month of doomsday nightmares thinking about all the things that could go wrong trying to carry this 500lb piece of glass into the house and set it on my structure. (The most common one was that my untested, un-engineered, “total guess” structure would collapse under the weight. It hasn’t. Yet.) And I doubt any local firm has much experience doing what we did, and if there was such a firm, I hate to think what they would have charged me. So thank you again for making this possible. I hope you enjoy the pictures. Definitely need that backsplash now…”

Excellent countertop. What do you use to adhere it to the subtop? Clear silicone?

Hi John, we put waterclear silicone on the perimeter of the glass.

I really like your glass counter tops. We have been looking at different options for our kitchen and I really like this. Are you planing on doing a glass back splash too? We first starting thinking of glass for a custom desk for our daughters room. We have now seen the endless possibilities.
