Indoor Table Tops

Indoor table tops are one of the most important elements in furnishing a restaurant or café interior. The table top is the first physical contact between the guest and the establishment — its material, texture, colour and appearance influence the guest’s first impression and overall experience. Professional indoor table tops are durable against intensive daily use, easy to clean and maintain an attractive appearance year after year.

Indoor table top materials

Various materials are available for indoor HoReCa table tops to suit the establishment’s style and budget. HPL laminated — a hard base with HPL coating; resistant to impacts and scratches; a wide range of colours and textures; an economical solution. MDF with laminated coating — medium-density fibreboard with decorative coating; a lightweight material; extensive design possibilities. Solid wood — a natural wood surface with oil or lacquer finish; a warm visual impression; regular maintenance required. Ceramic or porcelain — high resistance to water, heat and chemicals; an elegant appearance; a premium price category. Quartz stone — natural stone or engineered quartz; unique texture; high durability. Also check out tables.

Technical parameters and dimensions

Indoor table top parameters should be chosen according to the room layout and table bases. Standard sizes — 60×60 cm, 70×70 cm, 80×80 cm square; 60×120 cm, 80×140 cm rectangular; also round versions. Thickness — usually 18–25 mm depending on the material. Edge finishing — straight, rounded, bevelled or T-profile edge; influences the table’s aesthetics. Colour range — hundreds of shades in the HPL range; wood in natural colours; ceramic in a wide range of colour finishes. Also check out table bases.

Cleaning and durability

The durability of indoor table tops largely depends on proper daily cleaning. HPL cleaning — use a damp cloth and neutral cleaning agents; no special cleaning products required. Solid wood maintenance — regular oiling or lacquer renewal every 1–2 years; protects against moisture. Ceramic and stone cleaning — simple damp cleaning; grout joints should be renewed from time to time. Intensive use — professional table tops with decorative laminate or premium HPL withstand much greater loads than domestic-grade surfaces. Also check out table tops for open terraces.

Design matching the establishment’s style

The choice of indoor table tops influences the overall visual concept of the establishment. Elegant restaurant — dark wood texture or premium marble stone; warm or monochromatic tone. Modern minimalist café — matte HPL in white, black or grey; clean lines. Traditional café — natural wood or warm-toned HPL; a homely impression. Industrial loft style — concrete or dark metal tone in HPL; raw aesthetics. BHS helps choose a table top that harmonises with the establishment’s concept.
