What are the options for adding glass or other protective tops to the Landscape Round Table?

When considering protection for your Landscape Round Table, several excellent options exist to preserve its beauty while maintaining functionality. Tempered glass tops remain the most popular choice, offering superior scratch resistance and crystal-clear visibility of your table's natural beauty. These safety-glass tops are heat-treated to be five times stronger than regular glass and break into small, granular pieces rather than sharp shards if impacted.

For those seeking lighter alternatives, acrylic protective tops provide excellent clarity at approximately half the weight of glass, though they may be more prone to minor scratching over time. Polycarbonate sheets offer exceptional impact resistance—nearly 250 times stronger than glass—making them ideal for high-traffic outdoor areas or families with young children.

Custom-cut options allow for perfect sizing to your specific Landscape Round Table dimensions, with beveled edges available for both safety and aesthetic enhancement. For outdoor applications, UV-protective coatings can be applied to prevent yellowing or degradation from sun exposure. Many suppliers offer various thicknesses ranging from 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch, allowing you to balance durability with visual appeal.

Installation typically involves clear silicone bumpers placed between the table surface and protective top, creating necessary separation to prevent moisture buildup and allow for thermal expansion. For permanent installations, professional mounting with specialized adhesives provides a secure, seamless appearance while maintaining the protective barrier against spills, sunlight, and everyday use.
