Mirrored furniture is an excellent choice.  Mirrored furniture implies a sense of elegance that works equally well in traditional and contemporary settings.  From sleek, contemporary lines to classic designs with timeless appeal.  From signature chests and tables to pieces crafted from select hardwoods in an antique-cream finish with silvery accents.  From headboards to upholster chairs.

Don’t forget about our signature accents for the perfect finishing touch!  Our mirrored furniture is as glamorous as any star from Hollywood’s Golden Era, yet as practical as we can make it with the desks/draws having exceptional storage space.  Our mirrored furniture is all about functional fashion; most of our products are handcrafted, hand-painted and covered with hand-cut bevelled mirrors. All over shine marks our furniture as one you’ll find a versatile fit with a variety of decorating styles.

Our mirrored furniture balances practicality and elegance while the reflective surface makes the room look more spacious.  Our products such as our side table add storage as well as shimmer to any living space.  However, it doesn’t just end there.  Rather than buying already made mirrored furniture, you can bring your furniture in and we can attach the mirrors for you.  We offer a vast majority of services such as different fabrication, edgework on mirrors, beveling on mirror edges, v-grooving, and so much more.  You’ll give it rave reviews.

Here at Bear Glass we offer the following services:

Beveling

This is the production, by abrasion, of a sloping edge on the glass sheet which is commonly used on mirror glass. The finished look can really enhance the overall appearance of any project that uses glass or mirror.

Edgeing

This is the shaping or finishing of the edges of a glass surface, usually by grinding with an abrasive wheel. Pencil Polished edge in a Satin finish (also available in clear finish) is the most common type of edgework on mirrors. Although this is not as common on mirrors as it is on glass.

Replacement glass

This is the shaping or finishing of the edges of a glass surface, usually by grinding with an abrasive wheel.  Beveled Glass is usually made by taking thick glass and creating an angled surface cut (bevel) around the entire periphery.  Bevels act as prisms in the sunlight creating an interesting color diffraction which both highlights the glass work and provides a spectrum of colors which would ordinarily be absent in clear float glass.  Beveled Glass can be obtained as clusters which are arranged to create a specific design.  These can vary from simple three or four piece designs, often used in top lights (commonly known as transoms) of windows and conservatories, to more complex combinations of many pieces, suitable for larger panels such as doors and side screens (known in the door industry as sidelites).

Another good design option is to apply beveling to cabinet glass and glass shelves. They are increasingly popular home design options for homeowners interested in updating their home décor, due in part to their superior ability to make a room appear lighter and feel larger.  Beveled glass cabinet doors and beveled glass shelves offer visual appeal without inhibiting the light flowing through them, or obscuring the view of the pieces displayed within the cabinet.  Beveled glass has also been used with clear and colored textured glass to create designs.

Textured glass is typically 1/8″ thick and has a distinct visible texture.  Beveled glass is typical made from 1/4″ float plate glass but thicknesses up to 1/2″ have been used for larger windows.  The width of the bevel also can vary depending on the desired effect.  The combination of beveled glass is juxtaposed to the textured glass creating dramatic visual effects.

Beveled glass has many uses.  It is used in doors, mirrors and furniture.  Its use on doors is common and where a door may have an intricate design etched or cut on it by adding a plain bevel to the edge it leaves an attractive finish all round.  Many mirrors are surrounded by ornamental framework.  By the addition of a bevel to the periphery of a mirror it adds detail and can eliminate the need for any further ornamentation.

Glass tables have recently become very popular.  They can create a feeling of space in a room.  Many have a beveled edge as a design feature.  With the addition of clever lighting or a few candles the light will be reflected off the glass creating a spectrum of colors which would be absent if the glass was square cut.

In the glass world  hand beveling is an age old process which grinds away the edge of the glass to produce a chamfered or decorative finish.  Producing Hand Beveled Glass requires much time, starting from roughing out the pieces on a diamond wheel and proceeding through several steps to a high polish.  But, the result is worth it.

Whether you want to cover an existing table or replace the broken glass on your old dresser or dinning table we can do it all. Bear Glass will come out to measure and view your table giving you the best solutions to fix your problem. If you have a current table where the glass is floating on a stand Bear Glass will come and take a template  tracing of your table and duplicate the piece to exactly the same measurement and thickness. You can also add a bevel to the edge for extra glamor or even change the color of the glass all together.

Hot pots knives, forks and plates will eventually take there toll on your new beautiful table. The best way to protect your fine furniture is to have a nice piece of clear glass placed right over the table. Covering your table with glass will  make it easier to clean and more hygienic. Eliminating any chance of food or beverage entering a porous surface or damaging a beautiful polished surface, thus ruining your table.

Floating glass is recommended to start at 6mm thick and toughened for your piece of mind. Glass thickness will very depending on the application you are using it for. If any damage was to happen it would also be alot easier to clean, as toughened glass will not shatter  or splinter like normal glass. This is a much safer option for a house hold with children, as we all know accidents do happen and its alway better to be safe  than sorry.

Bear Glass can manufacture glass table tops to compliment any dining table or coffee table or produce a replacement for a damaged glass tables. Any size or shape can be produced including simple  circles, squares or rectangles or somewhat more  complex shapes such as ovals, hexagons or other unusual designs. Bear Glass will manufacture your glass table top from your drawing or sizes or alternatively we can visit your home or business to measure if required. If your glass table is an unusual shape we can even make a precise template to ensure your table is an accurate size and shape.

Glass table covers tend to be generally six millimeters thick however they may be eight millimeters or even ten millimeters. Dining tables consisting of only a base and the glass top are generally eight to twelve millimeters and usually toughened safety glass. Tempered glass is multiple times stronger than ordinary glass and is used to ensure your safety if the glass is broken at any time.

Finishes to the edges of glass tables include  polished and bevelled depending on the design requirements. The most common shapes are square and rectangular with ninety-degree corners however overhanging edges of tables require round or radius corners to prevent sharp corners causing injuries.
