Everything about glass furniture looks cool. You don’t have to spend a ton of time finding matching curtains and blinds, matching couches, matching bookshelves or even front doormats. They can blend in with all the things. Same goes with the tempered glass shower doors. They work well with all bathroom rugs and towels, clocks, and tiles.

The downside? Homeowners like this one may arrive home one day to find that cool glass furniture “broke in a million pieces.” No one broke into the home. No one broke the glass to escape a room. No one vandalized the home. The glass broke on its own. How? There are a number of reasons that people should be aware of before investing in glass decor, especially if they live in a city or town with constant temperature changes.

Six tips to care for glass in your home

1. Keep hot items off of glass surfaces

From pans to mugs to tea kettles, do not place hot items on top of glass. Always use a towel, coasters or trivets.
