All of the glass used to make Gilasi is domestically sourced within 250 miles from our manufacturing plant in Chicago. Much of the glass is post-consumer container glass and window glass which make up the base of Gilasi. Other glass is decorative post industrial scrap glass that comes from damaged hand-blown lighting fixtures.
Every part of the manufacturing and finishing process of Gilasi is done in Chicago, Illinois.
While we are always looking for ways to improve Gilasi, to create a slab of Gilasi takes about four weeks.
We do not recommend Gilasi for exterior applications.
While you can cut on Gilasi, we do not recommend it as it will quickly dull your knives.
Gilasi is highly stain resistant and does not require sealer. Darker colors like Pietra and Livadi do need a periodic application of Mineral oil to maintain their rich color due to the satin finish that Gilasi comes with. Lighter colors do not need this treatment.
