How to Fix a Broken Glass Coffee Table
Glass coffee tables are a popular choice for many homeowners, but unfortunately glass is prone to breaking from time to time. If your glass coffee table has met an unfortunate fate and needs to be fixed, here is how you can get it done quickly, affordably, and with minimal effort:
Gather Your Supplies
Before you start your repair job, make sure you have all the necessary supplies:
- Glass-cutting tool
- Safety goggles
- Unbreakable glass of the same size and shape as the one you are replacing
- Silicone caulking
- Sandpaper
Replace the Broken Glass
Using your glass-cutting tool, carefully cut away the broken glass. Make sure you wear safety goggles for protection, as you don’t want any glass debris to fly into your eyes. Once the broken glass is removed, use your unbreakable glass to replace it. Make sure the edges of the glass match the edges of the table frame.
Smooth the Edges
Using the sandpaper, smooth down the edges where the glass meets the frame. This will ensure that the edges don’t stick out and are safe to touch.
Caulk the Join
Once the edges are smooth, use the silicone caulking to seal the join between the frame and the glass. This will ensure a tight fit, and help protect the glass from any further damage.
Enjoy!
That’s it! You have now successfully repaired your broken glass coffee table. Enjoy it as before, and remember to take extra precaution when using it from now on.
