How Commercial Grey Table Tops Work

Grey table tops might seem straightforward, but there's clever engineering behind each one. Most feature a dense MDF or chipboard core, encased in hard-wearing laminate that resists stains, scratches and moisture. The edges are typically sealed with matching or contrasting bands for protection and style. These tops simply attach to your chosen table base using pre-drilled screw holes or mounting plates. The beauty lies in their versatility—they can transform from casual café seating to elegant restaurant tables depending on your base choice and styling!

  • Avoid Overloading Know weight limits—prevents structural failure.
  • Handling Care Lift with two people for larger sizes—prevents back strain.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Grey Table Tops

For maximum longevity, always use coasters under very hot items and wipe up spills promptly—especially acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar. Clean with a mild detergent and soft cloth rather than abrasive cleaners that can damage the laminate. Consider adding table protectors or placemats in extremely busy sections. When attaching to bases, ensure screws are tight but not overtightened, which could crack the material around mounting points.
