As the world’s leading manufacturer of architectural glass countertops and fused glass stair treads, ThinkGlass continues to set new standards in design and innovation. From cruise ships to contemporary homes, from museums to retail showcases, their work is a testament to how material, when mastered, can become memory.
A partner in visionary design
Forget the brittle, sterile sheets used for windows or the purely functional applications of the past. ThinkGlass has spent over 25 years mastering the metamorphosis of glass, sculpting it through high-temperature fusion into forms that challenge conventions and ignite imagination.
Their glass countertops are not just surfaces—they are luminous canvases. These fused glass masterpieces shimmer with depth, texture, and movement, creating visual intrigue whether in a minimalist kitchen, an avant-garde bar, or a luxury bathroom retreat. Each countertop is handcrafted and completely customizable, merging functionality with pure artistic expression.
The new monumentality: glass stair treads and floors
What happens when you stop thinking of glass as something you look through and start imagining it as something you walk on?
At ThinkGlass, staircases are elevated into floating art forms. Their glass stair treads and floors defy gravity, lightening the weight of architectural structures both physically and visually. Thick, textured fused glass ensures not only safety and durability, but stunning transparency that enhances every footstep.
In residential and commercial applications alike, these stair treads add an ethereal dimension to vertical movement. Each step becomes an invitation to discover more—of the space, of the light, of the craftsmanship itself. And with integrated LED lighting, they can glow with subtle elegance or make a bold architectural statement.
A material in dialogue with light
From a technical standpoint, ThinkGlass’s fused glass surfaces exhibit exceptional mechanical strength, chemical inertness, and thermal stability. Through a proprietary high-temperature fusion process, the glass is densified without air inclusions, eliminating structural weak points. The resulting material offers enhanced resistance to thermal shock and supports significant static loads, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and institutional environments.
Additionally, the non-porous surface of ThinkGlass products prevents liquid absorption, resists staining and bacterial growth, and remains easy to maintain. This rare combination of aesthetic refinement, structural durability, and hygienic properties positions fused glass as a superior alternative to traditional materials such as quartz, marble, or granite in high-performance architectural applications.
And let’s not forget : Architects and designers often speak of glass as a framing device.
From the first design sketch to final installation, their team supports architects, designers, and homeowners alike in realizing one-of-a-kind visions.
Whether it’s a luminous bathroom vanity lit from within, a majestic glass bar top in a luxury nightclub, or a monumental outdoor installation redefining a building’s identity, ThinkGlass delivers handcrafted excellence. The customization possibilities are as vast as the imagination: texture, thickness, shape, lighting, even color tones are all tailored to the environment they will inhabit.
