In this FAQ we answer the 20 most frequently asked questions about FIAM glass furniture – comprehensible, compact and helpful for anyone who wants to bring fine glass into their home.
- What characterises FIAM glass furniture compared to conventional furniture?
- FIAM uses curved safety glass to create furniture with a flowing appearance, high stability and a unique elegance.
- What design philosophy does FIAM follow when developing its collections?
- FIAM combines art, technology and function. The design is timeless, reduced and at the same time emotional – often inspired by organic forms.
- What types of glass does FIAM use for its furniture?
- Mainly transparent, smoked and bronze glass is used. Some models are also available in extra-light or satinised glass.
- How does the glass bending process work at FIAM?
- The glass is heated to over 600 °C and slowly cooled in precise moulds to create stable and elegant curves.
- How durable is FIAM glass furniture in everyday use?
- The toughened safety glass makes them very robust. With normal use, they remain beautiful and stable for decades.
- What care instructions apply specifically to satinised glass surfaces?
- Gentle cleaning with water and a microfibre cloth is usually sufficient. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents – this protects the surface structure.
- Are FIAM furniture items also suitable for commercial applications?
- Yes, many models are ideal for stylish offices, lobbies or lounges and can withstand heavy use.
- How high is the load-bearing capacity of FIAM glass tables?
- The glass is specially hardened and, depending on the model, can easily bear 100 kg or more.
- What safety standards does the glass used fulfil?
- FIAM uses thermally toughened glass – it is impact-resistant and breaks into blunt pieces instead of sharp splinters under extreme loads.
- Does FIAM offer furniture with integrated lighting?
- Yes – for example, sideboards with indirect LED lighting that gently illuminates the glass.
- What customisation options does FIAM offer?
- Many models can be customised in terms of glass colour, shape and size – for a solution that perfectly suits your room.
- Can FIAM furniture be used outdoors?
- In principle, the furniture is designed for indoor use. There may be exceptions for protected outdoor areas – we will be happy to advise you.
- How does the combination of glass with materials such as wood or metal work?
- FIAM combines materials seamlessly – often with aluminium frames or wooden panels that functionally complement the glass.
- How do I clean highly reflective glass surfaces?
- You can achieve streak-free results with clear water, alcohol-free glass cleaner and a clean cloth.
- Does FIAM offer replacement parts or a repair service for damaged furniture?
- Yes – many elements can be reordered or repaired. Our team will take care of the process.
- How does light affect the material effect of glass?
- Daylight, LEDs or spotlights bring the transparency and structure of the glass to life – glass reacts sensitively to every light source.
- What needs to be considered when positioning glass furniture in a room?
- Glass needs space – avoid tight corners and place it free-standing or close to the light.
- Which FIAM designs are particularly space-saving?
- Side tables, consoles and wall mirrors – all with a slim profile and clear design language.
- How do you protect FIAM glass surfaces from scratches in everyday life?
- Use coasters and avoid placing hard objects such as keys or knives directly on the surface.
- What is the average delivery time for customised FIAM furniture?
- Around 6 to 10 weeks – depending on the model, glass type and configuration.
