Table tops for the catering industry are available in many different versions. The bistro table top in round is very popular. It is a real classic for bistros and cafés and often comes with a metal edge.

In addition to the bistro table top, classic table tops made of wood or a composite material are also available in rectangular or square shapes. Of course, the table top for the bistro table is also available in a square shape.

An important distinction in horeca table tops is the application. Only outdoor table tops can be used in outdoor areas that are exposed to the weather.

Which materials are suitable for horeca table tops?

The best materials for horeca table tops include solid wood, composite and monoblock laminate as well as compact laminate.

Table tops made of monoblock laminate (Topalit) consist of a mixture of hardwoods and softwoods that are pressed into the desired shape under high pressure using resins. Topalit and Werzalit tops are characterized by their high durability and robustness in combination with a durable coating. With the right table base, these table tops can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Table tops made of solid wood such as oak are very appealing with a natural look. They are suitable for indoor use. Other woods such as teak can also be used outdoors.

What are the common sizes of horeca table tops?

Depending on whether you want to set up your horeca tables in a bistro, café or restaurant, you can buy table tops from us online in lengths of 60 to 160 centimetres and widths of 60 to 80 centimetres. The width is chosen so that there is room for two place settings opposite each other on the table. Special sizes are available on request.

What distinguishes bistro table tops and other horeca table tops?

Bistro table tops are characterized by the fact that they can be combined with the matching table bases. When selecting your table base, make sure that the table legs or table frame are large enough for the selected table top. You can view the maximum possible table top size in our product filter on the table base page.

We will be happy to help you select the right table base for your desired horeca table tops by phone or email.

Care and cleaning of horeca table tops

How you care for your table tops depends on the material. Wooden table tops can be wiped with a damp cloth. However, if possible, use a mild cleaning agent, not scouring milk or acidic products. To maintain the wood, it can be regularly treated with a little oil. To do this, gently massage the oil into the surface of the wood. This will impregnate it in a natural way.

Table tops made of Topalit or compact laminate can be wiped with a damp cloth. We recommend that you do not use microfiber cloths to avoid scratching the surface.
