Perhaps you have heard the complaints of a friend who has glass dining tables and is angry about the scratches in the beautiful surface. While you may have been thinking of getting a glass dining table yourself, you may be wondering what causes scratches in glass dining tables.
Here's a look at what causes scratches in glass dining tables and how to stop those scratches from happening:
Glass Top Tables Dining
Plates and Bowls - Someone setting down plates and bowls on the table and them sliding them around can cause scratches and nicks in the tabletop surface. Once these scratches are there, they won't go away, so you want to prevent them. One way to do this is through placemats and other cloth and protective items beneath your plates and bowls.
Cups and Glasses - Just like plates and bowls can make a mess of your tabletop, so can cups and glasses. These are more likely to cause problems since they are being picked up and put down regularly. Again, look for protective items you can put under these, such as decorative coasters or a portion of the placemat.
Silverware - Metal and glass do not mix. Metal silverware coming in contact with your glass top tables is a great way to get lots of scratches and even chips. To avoid this you may want to use two layers of protection, first wrap your silverware in a napkin and second put it on top of your placemat, so your guests are more likely to put your silverware back on the placemats when they set pieces down.
Napkin Rings - While you may think napkins are really soft and could not do damage, if you use napkin rings, they can cause problems including scratching and nicking your glass table top. You need to protect your table from those napkin rings by placing the whole setup on the placemat to keep the hard pieces from connecting with your glass.
Service Pieces and Utensils - When you put down those serving pieces and utensils in the middle of the table, have you considered that they may be what causes scratches in glass dining tables? You need to protect your table from all of your serving items. Either use a placemat or pad beneath them or come up with another way to protect your table from the possible scratches of those serving dishes being picked up, set down, and slid around the table.
Centerpieces - Centerpieces can be so beautiful, but also can be very damaging and may be what causes scratches in glass dining tables. Take a closer look at your centerpieces before you put them down and see if the bottom of them may be causing a problem. If so, perhaps you can find a doily or other decorative piece of cloth to put beneath them.
Jewelry - While you may not think about the items your guests are wearing, it is very possible that bracelet and those rings they keep tapping on the table could be the source of your problem. While you can't tell your guests not to wear jewelry, you could consider a table cloth or even a protective table runner where wrists and the table are going to collide.
