Engineered Marble Table

Engineered marble is an innovative composite material made to replicate the luxurious aesthetics of natural marble. Our engineered marble tables are made from 90% natural marble chips and crushed stone which is combined with polyester resin binders. 

This mixture is poured into moulds to achieve the desired shape and size. The cast base undergoes a controlled curing process under specific temperature and pressure conditions. This allows the polyester resin to crosslink and solidify, transforming the mixture into a rock solid and stable material. Once cooled, the surface undergoes a grinding and polishing process using diamond-tipped grinding wheels, ensuring a flawlessly smooth and level foundation.

Multiple coats of high-quality lacquer specially formulated for engineered stone surfaces are then applied to the table. This is what creates the coveted high-gloss finish and adds the unique veining and intricate patterns, replicating the natural variations of real marble. These layers aren't just for aesthetics; they act as a protective shield, ensuring resistance to stains, minor scratches, moisture and even UV rays.

Key Benefits (Table)

• Aesthetic Appeal: With advanced manufacturing techniques, engineered marble achieves a stunning resemblance to natural marble, complete with intricate veins and a variety of patterns and hues. The high gloss marble effect lacquer enhances its beauty, giving it a luxurious and sophisticated finish, allowing you to enjoy the luxury of this earthy natural stone without the hefty price tag and demanding maintenance.
• Minor Scratch Resistance: The high-gloss lacquer acts as a protective layer, making the surface more resistant to minor scratches, enhancing the table's durability and suitability for everyday use.
• Heat Resistance: Engineered marble dining tables offer superior heat resistance, making them an ideal choice for homes and settings where hot dishes are common.
• Easy maintenance: The smooth, non-porous surface of the lacquered engineered marble is relatively easy to clean with regular wiping using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Environmental Sustainability: Engineered marble often incorporates recycled materials, reducing the demand for quarrying natural stone. This contributes to environmental conservation, making it a more sustainable choice.

Care Guide (Table)

• Regular Cleaning: For routine maintenance, wipe your engineered marble table with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild soap solution for any stubborn stains, but avoid abrasive cleaners that can dull the surface.
• Prompt Spill Cleanup: Spills should be wiped up promptly to prevent staining. Although engineered marble is more stain-resistant than natural stone, certain substances, if left unattended, can penetrate the sealant.
• Use Placemats: While engineered marble boasts a minor scratch & heat resistant surface, it is still advisable to protect the table's surface by using coasters under glasses, placing hot dishes on trivets or using placemats under plates & cutlery to ensure the table maintains its aesthetic appeal over time.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, acidic products (vinegar, citrus cleaners), or bleach, as they can dull the finish, etch the surface, or cause permanent stains.

Polypropylene Plastic Chairs

Creating our sturdy plastic dining chairs requires a specialised approach. We use high-grade polypropylene, known for its durability and lightweight properties. 

Our polypropylene (PP) plastic chairs undergo a multi-step manufacturing process that begins with the selection of high-quality polypropylene pellets. In the injection moulding stage, these pellets are melted and injected into a carefully designed mould to shape the entire chair, including the seat and backrest. Rapid cooling follows to solidify the molten polypropylene, and the demolding phase ensures the chair retains its intended structure. After cooling and solidification, the chair parts are assembled to form the final chair design.

Our PP plastic chairs are then put through quality control tests, including weight capacity, impact, durability, UV resistance, stability, and materials testing, to ensure they meet safety, quality, and performance standards.

Key Benefits (Chairs)

• Low Maintenance: PP plastic dining chairs are easy to clean and maintain. The material is resistant to stains, and a simple wipe with a damp cloth is often sufficient to keep them looking clean and well-maintained.
• Comfort Considerations: Our polypropylene chairs incorporate ergonomic features like contoured seats and backrests for enhanced comfort during prolonged sitting.
• Durability: Polypropylene (PP), a strong and lightweight plastic known for its durability. This material is resistant to scratches, dents, and everyday wear and tear, making them suitable for frequent use.
• Weather Resistance: Polypropylene is generally resistant to moisture, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor dining areas, although prolonged sun exposure might cause slight fading over time.
• Lightweight: Polypropylene chairs are significantly lighter compared to chairs made from materials like wood or metal. This makes them easy to move and handle, adding to their practicality and convenience, especially in dynamic or frequently reconfigured spaces.
• Stackable Design: Ideal for optimising space, the stackable feature allows you to effortlessly store these chairs when not in use, making them a practical solution for both compact dining areas and versatile seating arrangements. 

Care Guide (Chairs)

• Regular Maintenance: Wipe down the chairs regularly with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to remove dust and general dirt. For stubborn stains, use a soft brush or sponge to gently scrub the affected areas.
• Use Gentle Cleaners: Avoid using abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners on your plastic dining chairs as these can strip away the protective layer. Opt instead for mild, non-abrasive cleaning solutions that are gentle on the plastic yet effective in removing dirt and stains.
• Test Cleaning Solutions: Test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area: Always test any cleaning solution on a hidden area of the chair before applying it to the visible surface.

Sizing Guide

Chair Spacing: Maintain a space of at least 15cm between dining chairs to prevent overcrowding. Adequate spacing allows diners to move in and out of their seats easily, promoting a more enjoyable and functional dining experience. Consider the overall dimensions of the dining area when determining the optimal chair spacing.

Space to Move: Leave around 60cm between the chair back and your wall. This allows you and your guests to sit comfortably and manoeuvre without feeling cramped. Proper proximity ensures a seamless dining experience, allowing people to access their seats with ease.

Table Shape: For long rooms and open spaces, rectangular or oval tables often are the most natural fit, maximising space utilisation and creating a balanced look. Round or square tables can also work if you want to leave extra room for additional furniture pieces to complement your dining area. For smaller dining areas, round or square tables are often the ideal choice, promoting conversation and creating a sense of intimacy.

Number of Chairs: Assess the available space around the dining table to determine the practical number of chairs that can comfortably fit. Consider the table's size, shape, and room dimensions to ensure adequate spacing between chairs for both visual appeal and ease of movement. Below is a general guide, but these are flexible dependent on the chair size and desired level of comfort:

Round Tables

• 60cm-80cm: 2 People
• 90cm-110cm: 4 People
• 120cm-150cm: 4-6 People
