Restaurant and café table tops see heavier daily use than domestic dining surfaces. The finish specification matters more in a commercial environment — a fully sealed satin or gloss finish holds up to repeated cleaning, spills, and the general wear of a working hospitality space better than an oil finish.
Edge grain construction is typically chosen for commercial tops — it is more dimensionally stable than face grain and produces a surface that maintains its form in an environment where humidity and temperature vary throughout the day.
Species for hospitality
Kiaat, European White Beech, White Oak, and African Mahogany are the most commonly chosen species for commercial tops. These species offer the right balance of hardness, finish compatibility, and visual consistency across multiple tops from the same batch.
Bulk orders
Multiple tops in the same species and finish are handled as a single production run. This produces the most consistent result across a set — colour and grain character from a common batch. Lead times for bulk orders are discussed at the time of enquiry. See the trade program →
