Tempered Glass Tabletop

Tempered glass tables are a contemporary and durable addition to modern living spaces, combining style and resilience. The manufacturing process of our tempered glass begins with selecting thick, high-quality float glass, which offers superior clarity and minimal imperfections, ensuring a flawless visual experience. 

The cut glass piece undergoes a tempering process for enhanced strength and safety. This involves heating the glass to a high temperature (around 600°C) and then rapidly cooling it with air blasts. This process creates compressive stress on the surface of the glass, making it significantly resistant to breakage and shattering, boasting 4 to 5 times the durability of standard glass with improved minor scratch & heat resistance. After tempering, the edges of the glass are polished to create a smooth and finished look.

Key Benefits

• Safety & Durability: Tempered glass is significantly stronger and safer than regular glass. It undergoes a special heat treatment process, making it four to five times more resistant to breakage and minor scratches & heat damage, ideal for busy households and high-traffic living areas.
• Easy Maintenance: The smooth and non-porous surface of tempered glass makes it incredibly easy to clean. Spills, stains, and marks can be effortlessly wiped away, keeping your side table in pristine condition with minimal effort.
• Contemporary Aesthetics: Tempered glass offers a sleek and modern aesthetic that seamlessly complements various interior styles. Its clean lines and transparent nature add a touch of sophistication to your living space, enhancing the overall contemporary appeal.
• Illuminating Effect: The transparency of tempered glass creates a unique visual effect by reflecting light, making the room feel brighter and more spacious. This illuminating quality adds a dynamic and airy ambiance to your living area, enhancing the overall atmosphere.
• Environmentally Friendly: Tempered glass is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled and repurposed, reducing the demand for new resources and energy consumption.
• Effortless Design Harmony: Say farewell to the hassle of searching for pieces that complement each other. This matching bundle delivers instant style and seamless coordination to your living space.   
• Versatile Functionality for Daily Life: The generously sized coffee table is perfect for displaying décor, entertaining guests, or enjoying a cosy meal in front of the TV. The side table provides an ideal companion for a lamp, books, or a refreshing drink within easy reach.

Care Guide

• Regular Dusting: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dust the table's surface regularly to prevent the buildup of particles.
• Wipe with a Damp Cloth: For light cleaning, dampen a clean cloth with warm, soapy water, and gently wipe the glass. Rinse with a damp, clean cloth, and then dry with a lint-free cloth.
• Remove Spills Promptly: If any spills occur, blot them up immediately with a clean, damp cloth to prevent staining or etching on the glass.
• Use a Glass Cleaner: For a more thorough cleaning, apply a glass cleaner designed for glass and wipe with a lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that may scratch the surface.
• Protect from Heat and Scratches: Despite our tempered glass being more minor scratch & heat resistant to standard glass, we recommend using coasters for glasses and hot mugs to safeguard it from potential heat damage and scratches. This simple step contributes to maintaining the table's pristine surface over the years.

Stainless Steel Frame

Transforming a simple stainless steel base into a dazzling centrepiece starts with selecting the appropriate grade of stainless steel for the table based on the desired level of corrosion resistance. 

The chosen stainless steel sheet is precisely cut into the desired shapes and dimensions of the base components using laser cutting, ensuring clean edges and minimal material waste. The individual bent and formed pieces are then welded together to create the complete base structure using Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding. The welded base undergoes grinding to remove any imperfections, welding marks, and achieve a smooth surface finish.

The final step involves electroplating the surface with a thin layer of gold alloy, which is then buffed using progressively finer abrasive materials to achieve a lustrous finish. This process gradually removes surface irregularities and polishes the base to a reflective shine. A thin layer of clear lacquer is applied to the polished gold finish for added protection against smudges and minor scratches.

Achieving the polished chrome finish involves a slightly finishing process. Instead of electroplating the surface with a layer of gold alloy, the base is buffed using progressively finer abrasive materials to achieve a mirror-like finish. This process gradually removes surface irregularities and polishes the metal to a reflective shine. A thin layer of clear lacquer is applied to the polished chrome finish for added protection against smudges and minor scratches.
