Glass Vanity Tops

Over the last few years, the use of glass has been gaining acceptance in the bath.  Vessel bowls led the way. Now there are glass vanity tops and console sinks.

The above console sinks and vanity tops are affordable and available at Lowe's.

Kohler has a few glass vanity tops of their own. They also have an undermount faceted glass lavatory.  Your lavatory could be your night light. All available at Lowe's and ATG.

Then there are the custom designed and fabricated glass vanity tops and consoles.

For these you will need to contact CBD Glass Studio. Only your imagination and wallet need restrict the possibilities.

Creative Use of Recycled Glass In Concrete

As seen a former post, glass bottles are repurposed in building construction. Glass can also be recycled into making concrete.


Concrete is the mixture of cement, sand and aggregate.

Polished concrete is called terrazzo. Terrazzo has been used in construction for many years. Terrazzo was created when workers took discarded marble chips and added it to clay to surface the terraces outside their homes.

When the clay was dry the surface was polished using blocks that progressed from rough to fine abrasives.  The finished surface was polished exposing the marble chips.

Glass bottles and other forms of post and or pre-consumer glass waste can be used as the aggregate in concrete. The addition of glass gives the surface a translucent and sometimes sparkling quality. 

Counter tops are also constructed of glass aggregate terrazzo. If the glass pieces are large enough the counter can be lighted from below. 


It takes an artist to create a beautiful terrazzo.
