Tempered Glass Tabletop

Tempered glass dining tables are a contemporary and durable addition to modern dining spaces, combining style and resilience. What sets our tempered glass tables apart is their exceptional manufacturing process, a multi-step process where ordinary glass is subjected to intense heat, followed by rapid cooling. 

This advanced technique results in tempered glass, known for its remarkable strength, boasting four to five times the durability of standard glass. This inherent resilience is the cornerstone of our tables, making them the perfect choice for dining rooms as they stand up admirably to the rigours of daily use, demonstrating resistance to impacts and scratches.

Key Benefits

• Safety: Tempered glass is significantly stronger and more resistant to breakage than standard glass, ideal for busy households and high-traffic dining areas.
• Easy Maintenance: Tempered glass tables are effortless to clean. Spills, stains, and marks can be quickly wiped away, keeping your table looking pristine.
• Contemporary Aesthetics: Tempered glass offers a sleek and modern appearance that complements various interior styles.
• Durability: Tempered glass is resistant to scratches, heat, and stains, providing added peace of mind during meals and gatherings.
• Environmentally Friendly: Tempered glass is an eco-friendly material that can be recycled and repurposed, reducing the demand for new resources and energy consumption.
• Illuminating Effect: The transparency of glass can create an illusion of space and make the room feel brighter by reflecting light.

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.

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.

Sizing Guide

• Space: You'll need to make sure the table is large enough to seat the number of people you want, but also small enough that it doesn't crowd the room. Allow at least 90cm of clearance around the table so that people can comfortably sit and get up.
• 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.
