Discover in our article all Maison Louis Drucker tips for adapting your furniture to a specific use.
What are the ideal dimensions for a tabletop?
The dimensions of a tabletop must take into account several elements:
- the dimensions of the indoor or outdoor space where you plan to install your table;
- The number of people you wish to host;
- The shape you envision.
Whether the tabletop is round or rectangular, it is necessary to respect a few formalities:
- The distance between two people (15 cm is sufficient);
- The space a person needs to be comfortable, 45 cm is ideal;
- For place settings facing each other, allow 35 cm between two place settings.
The thickness of the top depends on the material used and the table leg chosen. There are different thicknesses of tops, from 19 mm to 2 cm and up to 5 cm.
What are the different shapes of a tabletop?
Theoretically, you can give your custom-made tabletop any shape you want. The most classic shapes are:
-
Round: although this is the most convivial shape, it is also the most space-consuming;
-
Rectangular: more classic, it is the most adaptable for large tables;
-
Square: it is an attractive, but small and space-saving chair that can only accommodate two guests;
-
Oval: its surface is reduced.
Whatever its shape, the tabletop must be directly attached to the table leg.
What are the different materials used to make a tabletop?
The material used to make your custom tabletop will determine the ambiance of your dining room or patio.
Wood is the most commonly used material, and several wood species lend themselves to the manufacture of custom tabletops. Maison Louis Drucker offers solid oak tops with a choice of light or dark wood finish.
A solid wood tabletop brings a natural nuance to a space. Wood is not the only material used; we can distinguish:
- Solid oak;
- Marble or granite;
- Resin;
- Enamel;
- Laminate;
- Etc.
What are the different custom-made Maison Louis Drucker tabletops?
Our Maison Louis Drucker experts recommend custom-made tabletops, including:
-
The wooden tabletop custom-made: it is made of solid oak or laminated wood. You have the choice to band it with brass, stainless steel, or leave it natural. It is very resistant to bad weather, ideal for outdoors;
-
The marble or granite tabletop: ultra-durable, its smooth appearance allows for easy and quick cleaning. It is pleasant to the eye and touch with or without stainless steel or brass banding;
-
The marble-effect resin tabletop: square, rounded, or rectangular, banded with copper or not;
-
The enameled tabletop: it can be silk-screened to your liking manually by an enameler. The enamel used is of high quality and even resistant to ultraviolet rays; it is favored by restaurateurs;
-
The laminated tabletop: stain-resistant. Laminate is an assembly of kraft paper sheets immersed in a polymer resin. The professional will replace the last layer of kraft paper with a colored or wood-effect sheet.
All these tabletops adapt, depending on their shapes, to the cast iron or aluminum legs from the collection offered by
Maison Louis Drucker.
A custom-cut oak tabletop, for example, is practical in a dining room. Marble models are just as appreciated because they add character to the room and bring a cozy effect. All these tabletops adapt, depending on their shapes, to the cast iron or aluminum legs from the collection offered by Maison Louis Drucker for a kitchen table, as it is easy to clean.
You also have the possibility to choose your dimensions while respecting the standards. You can choose to decrease or increase the proportions, as these are custom-made tabletops.
It is trendy and very interesting to have a custom-made tabletop manufactured. It concerns all spaces, from the very small to the very spacious. The materials used are solid and of good quality, transformed or natural, to conform to your tastes.
