PORCELAIN Tables - Product Information

Flawless beauty, stronger than stone
Porcelain combines the beauty of stone with the practical advantages of ceramic tile. Made by pressing clay and ground rock into tiles, Porcelain has the natural elegance found in stone, as well as its strength - in fact, it is actually even stronger than stone! And what makes Porcelain a truly amazing product is the fact that it is as care-free as ceramic tile - it is impervious to stains, needs no sealers or polishes, and is extremely resistant to scratches.

Durable
Our Porcelain tables are exceptionally tough and durable. The Porcelain tiles themselves are flooring grade, and are extremely resistant to heat and scratches and impervious to stains. The grout that we use around the Porcelain tiles is a rubber silicone sealant that is stain resistant, flexible and easy to clean.

Innovative patterns
The innate strength of Porcelain affords us the ability to design creative and stylish patterns.  We offer two Porcelain specific patterns: the Garden Path and River Stone.  We also offer patterns that combine full Porcelain tiles with ceramic Accent tiles.  Please refer to the Porcelain Samples and Patterns page for information on available patterns and combinations.  Please note that an up charge in price will apply when using any of these patterns - please see the price lists for amounts.

Quality features

  • SUPER FINISH: Every inch of our wood tables (including the underside and base) receives a coating of our Saloom Super Finish. This clear catalyzed varnish protects your furniture from moisture and most household chemicals such as turpentine, nail polish remover, and lemon juice. However all finishes can scratch and dent, therefore when in use, we advise using placemats or other protection between dishes and table top.

  • SELF STORING LEAFS: Most of our oval, rectangular, and boat shaped maple top tables will self store one leaf underneath the table top. Please see price lists for exceptions.

  • QUALITY SLIDES that won't stick on leg tables, and double-geared slides on pedestal tables.

  • LEAF GAP COVERS on aprons.

  • BRASS LEAF PINS for leaf alignment


CARE INFORMATION

  • There is no need to use sealers on the Porcelain tiles, nor will you need any waxes or polishes on the wood edge of the table.  Just wipe the table with a damp sponge, with some mild dish soap if needed, and wipe it dry.
  • Never use abrasive cleaners or sponges on the wood. And never let candle wax drip on the table – it is a pain to clean off the Porcelain and grout, and it will discolor the wood finish. 
  • Be careful with hot pans – the Porcelain tiles and grout will hold up well to heat, but the wood edge can be damaged. Use trivets just to be safe.


GENERAL ORDERING INFORMATION

  • Porcelain Dining Tables are available in Standard, Premium, and Paint finishes.
  • There is an up charge if you use one of our special patterns - Garden Path, River Stone, or Accent Tiles - due to the extra time it takes to cut and place the pattern.  See our price lists for the up charge amounts.
  • Minor variations in color and size are inherent in Porcelain tiles, therefore the final product may not be identical to the samples provided.
  • Variations in wood coloring and grain patterns are a characteristic of solid wood, therefore your table may not exactly match the finish sample.
  • Porcelain tiles are not covered under our warranty against cracking or chipping that may occur as a result of neglect, abuse or misuse of the product. Cracked Porcelain tile due to freight damage must be claimed at the time of delivery.
  • Due to the custom craftsmanship of Saloom Furniture products, cancellation of orders cannot be accepted once production has begun.
