Tempered Glass Tabletop

Tempered glass coffee 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 coffee 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.
• Rectangular Coffee Table: Tailored for rectangular living rooms, this coffee table boasts ample surface area for both practical functionality and stylish displays. The long shape fits seamlessly in linear room layouts, creating a harmonious and balanced visual flow.

Chrome/Gold Chrome Plated Metal Base

Creating our metal table bases with a stunning gold/chrome finish is a multi-step process. It begins with cutting and shaping the metal to the desired design, followed by precision welding for stability. After this, we carefully grind the surfaces to smooth perfection. 

For the gold finish, a thin layer of copper, followed by a layer of bright nickel which offers a higher reflectivity, are electroplated, laying the foundation for the gold colour. The final step involves electroplating the base with gold alloy for a luxurious touch. The newly gold-plated base is polished to a brilliant shine, highlighting the reflective properties of the chromium layer and accentuating its aesthetic appeal.

The chrome finish involves a slightly different process. The first layer involves electroplating the base with a thin layer of copper and nickel, which enhances corrosion resistance and provides a smoother surface for the final chrome plating. Finally, the electroplating process deposits a thin layer of chromium onto the nickel layer. The thickness of the chrome plating determines the final level of reflectivity and mirror-like finish.The newly chrome-plated base is polished to a brilliant shine, highlighting the reflective properties of the chromium layer and accentuating its aesthetic appeal.

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.

Sizing Guide

Distance from Seating: Leave approximately 45-60cm between the coffee table and the seating to ensure an unrestricted flow within the living room and ample space for comfortable movement. 

Measure Your Sofa: Aim for a coffee table that’s roughly two-thirds the length of your sofa for a balanced and proportional look. 

Height: Aim for a coffee table that sits within 5-10cm of your sofa's seat height. This ensures a comfortable reaching distance for items on the table, making it convenient for activities such as grabbing a magazine or setting down a cup.

Factor in Other Furniture: Leave a distance of approximately 75cm between the coffee table and other pieces of furniture, such as TVs or armchairs to prevent a cluttered feel. 

Consider The Shape of Your Living Room:

• For smaller living rooms, round or oval coffee tables will help create a more open and spacious feel. 
• For long & narrow living rooms, a rectangular coffee table will fit perfectly as it elongates the room visually, balancing out the narrowness.
• For large & open living rooms, square or round coffee tables will add visual interest and definition to a large space. Square tables are ideal for creating distinct seating areas, while round tables encourage conversation and open flow.
• For L-Shaped living rooms, round or oval coffee tables help soften the angles of the L-shaped layout and provide easy access from all sides. They also create a more fluid and cohesive look.
