UTRUSTA Shelf for corner wall cabinet, glass, 68 cm

Glass is mainly made of sand, soda and lime melted at a high temperature. Tempering or various additives gives you extra-strong and impact-resistant glass that in some cases can be taken straight from freezer to oven without cracking. A big benefit is how glass can be recycled over and over without the quality deteriorating. Also, a lot less energy is needed to melt recycled glass compared to new raw materials. Our goal is to eventually use only recycled glass in our range.

Our kitchens must withstand a lot. The shelf test is just one of our many quality controls. We load a 80 cm wide shelf with 27 kilos, for a full week. The shelf may not bend more than a few millimetres - that proves it can withstand demanding everyday use.
