Pearl Glass

Pearl Glass: toughened glass worktop protectors made in the UK

Pearl Glass presents itself as a UK manufacturer of glass worktop protectors, splashbacks and glass placemats. Its catalogue is built around toughened glass boards intended to protect kitchen and household work surfaces, with a heat-resistant, odourless and hygienic surface that the company describes as suitable for food preparation and other uses. The range covers a growing number of colours, designs and sizes.

The company states that it produces most of the largest glass worktop savers available, in a wide variety of textures and designs. Its clear float glass boards are made from low-iron toughened glass, a material it describes as very durable and clear enough to show off and enhance the work surface underneath.

Clear float glass worktop savers

The clear float glass line is presented as the company's best seller and as the original Pearl Glass board. These savers are made from low-iron toughened glass and are described as toughened, hygienic and scratch proof, heat resistant to 240°C and available in sizes up to 60 × 40 cm. The catalogue also lists a clear chinchilla textured version in a choice of sizes.

Coloured, textured and shaped boards

Beyond the clear range, Pearl Glass offers worktop protectors in a wide variety of colours with either a completely smooth float glass finish or a textured chinchilla surface. The boards come in various shapes and sizes up to 60 cm wide, and square and round glass options are also available. Plain coloured countertop protectors appear in the catalogue in shades such as black, silver, orange, charcoal grey, yellow, mint green, soft pink and bright pink.

The design catalogue is organised into themed categories, including striped and abstract designs, chic designs, floral chic, inspirational pastry boards, food and drink, flowers and floral, seasonal, scenic, on the farm, birds, animals and wildlife, Christmas, flags, humour, mosaic, fantasy and dragons, Halloween and artists.

The company says it is open to suggestions for new designs.

Personalised glass worktop savers

For customers who cannot find a design they want, Pearl Glass offers a personalised service. The company states that it manufactures the largest personalised glass worktop savers in the world and asks only for the image to be reproduced on the glass board. Suggested uses include pets, holiday memories, sunsets, a child's first picture or a gift for any occasion.

Other glass products and uses

Alongside worktop savers, the catalogue includes glass splashbacks, glass pastry rolling boards and glass air fryer stands and heat tong stands. The company also presents its boards as suitable for uses beyond the kitchen, such as bedside cabinet protectors, kitchen cutting boards, heat tong protectors, splashbacks and placemats.

Care and delivery

Pearl Glass describes its worktop protectors as scratch proof for chopping or cutting, while noting that diamonds will scratch the surface and advising against dragging a diamond ring across it while cutting. The company offers free delivery on all UK orders and refers to international shipping.
