Engineered Marble Tabletop

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

• 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: Our engineered marble console 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.
• Black Marble: Embrace the drama and intrigue of black marble. With intricate off-white veins weaving through the surface, this bold and captivating option adds a touch of modern edge to your living room, creating a truly unforgettable focal point.

Care Guide

• Regular Cleaning: For routine maintenance, wipe your engineered marble console 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 our engineered marble boasts a minor scratch & heat resistant surface, it’s 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.

Stainless Steel Base

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 base is then 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.

Sizing Guide

Length: Measure the length of the wall or area where the console table will be placed. Ideally, your table should be about two-thirds of the wall's length or it should leave roughly 30cm on either side of the wall to achieve a balanced look without the table appearing lost or cramped.

Width: Measure the width of the hallway. Ensure at least 30-45 cm of clearance between your chosen table and any opposite walls or furniture. This allows for comfortable passage and prevents a crowded feel.

Consider Its Function:

• Entryway Console: If the console is intended to be a hallway table for holding keys, mail, or small items, opting for a narrower depth (30-40cm) is beneficial to ensure a practical and uncluttered entrance space.
• Living Room Console: In the living room, where the console is often a focal point for decorative items or cherished photos, consider a longer (100-120cm) and taller table. This provides an expansive surface for creating artful displays, allowing you to showcase your personal style.
• Behind the Sofa: Placing a console table behind the sofa can be a strategic design choice. To achieve a harmonious look, opt for a shorter table that complements the height of the sofa. The console table's width should be about two-thirds the length of your sofa to ensure the table doesn't block the view or disrupt the visual continuity in the room. 
• In the Bedroom: Choose a height that sits slightly above your bed frame for a cohesive look, and ensure the length of the table doesn't exceed the bed's width to maintain easy access and prevent a congested feel.
