This ensures we have full control over production of our own items ensuring you the customer receive the only the very best. FIAM and SOVET products are produced in Italy by two of the most respected glass production houses in the world - their products have been created by some of the best known designers and the quality of their product matches with our own very high standards.
Do you send out samples?
Samples can be obtained from us at a cost. As glass is an expensive raw material we only tend to make samples to order. We advise our customers to either visit our showroom or
contact us directly to find out more.
Can I have my own colour?
Yes we do offer a bespoke colour service on the 'glassdomain brand' range of products. We normally work with RAL colour references. For more information and to discuss with our team please
contact us directly
What's the difference between Standard Clear and Extra Clear Glass?
We generally use two type of glass to make our furniture - Standard Clear and Extra Clear Glass; both have their own unique appeal and colour character. Extra clear glass is becoming more and more popular in glass furniture these days and is given as an alternative option on many of our products for sale through our website and showroom. The structural performance of Standard and Extra Clear Glass is exactly the same the only difference is the colour/tint.
Standard clear Glass has a slight green tint to the body of the glass and a very dark green edge detail (most of the products you see on our website are photographed with this glass option).
Extra Clear Glass has very little tint to the body of the glass appearing almost completely transparent - the glass edge has a very slight crystal blue/green tint.
To see an
photo sample of both glass together
click here.
Please note: that on larger and thicker glasses the tints can become very slightly more prominent.
Can I choose my own size?
Yes! we do offer a bespoke 'made to measure service on the 'glassdomain brand' range of products.
When shopping on-line please be sure use the 'bespoke filter' button on the left hand menu of the shop - this will help identify which items are available. For more information please visit our
Bespoke page and watch the video guide.
Is glass Strong?
Yes, very strong. All of our 'glassdomain' branded glass furniture are produced using toughened glass(unless otherwise stated), sometimes known as 'tempered', to comply with BS EN 12600. BS EN 12600 has now superseded BS 6206 as a European wide performance standard for impact safety glass. Please note that due to the nature of curved/formed glass and the way in which it is produced it is impossible to toughened this glass. For this reason glassdomain.co.uk only sells the very best glass furniture brands produced by highly specialist designers and manufacturers. These products have been highly tested to ensure they are safe for your home or office.
Can Glass/Toughened Glass be Scratched?
As with most materials glass can be scratch if miss-used or miss-treated, however glass is a strong material and under normal use our glass furniture should last a lifetime. In fact if you compare other high gloss or transparent materials to glass, glass will normally out greatly perform all in terms of strength and resilience making glass an ideal material for furniture.
What is the difference between Standard Clear Glass and Extra Clear Glass?
Standard Clear Glass has a natural green tint and the edge of the glass will appear dark green. The Extra Clear glass is without the green tint when looking through the surface of the glass appearing a lot clearer than standard, however please note that this glass still has a tint to the edge of the glass which is more of a blue-aqua green colour.
For a sample photograph of the glass please
click here (please note that this is a guidance only and may vary slightly from item to item).
Please note: the tints found in both glass can vary slightly depending on the thickness and also the size of the glass used due to the way the light refracts and reflects.
Do I have to put the product together or do any installation when I receive my furniture?
Of course not; we pride ourselves in our ability to take care of our customers. We will deliver and place your product exactly where you wish, removing all packaging as we go.
Please note: we can not install items which require fixing to walls such as mirrors, which are supply/delivery only.
How do I care for my glass furniture?
Caring for your glass furniture is easy. If you need to clean the item you only need to dust off the surfaces using a soft cloth. Where stubborn marks appear, use a soft cloth with a mixture of mild soap or liquid detergent, followed by rinsing with a further clean damp cloth before thoroughly drying the item. Please do not use abrasive cleaning materials or contaminated cloths. Use mats to protect the glass from hard materials that may cause scratches to the surface. Should you want to move your furniture then always lift it from the floor. Do not attempt to slide as this may cause undue stress to the product.
Can I move my furniture?
Yes. For furniture items such as coffee tables always lift it from the floor and avoid sliding your furniture into position as this may cause undue stress to the product or feet.
