Stone Tables

Please Read Before and After Purchasing a Stone Table

Our stone tables are made of travertine and or marble, being mainly mined from quarries in China and Europe.

Travertine Stone is formed from geothermal springs. Rich deposits of aged, dried and hardened stone were first mined by the Romans for building. The largest of these buildings constructed from travertine is the Colosseum in Rome, as well as famous buildings such as the Sacre-Coeur Basilica in Paris. The stone is characterized by pitted holes and troughs in its surface, thus filling is usually needed to smooth the surface. All our tables have been filled with epoxy filler.

Marble Stone is a changed form of limestone. It too has been mined for centuries as a building material. The Taj Mahal, a world famous monument is made of marble. Mable is also a chosen stone for statues.

Both stones are used in our tables as they are inherently strong, stable and hardwearing. Both stones by their nature can be highly polished to help highlight their colour variations as well as helping to seal their surfaces.

Stone is a natural product and will change and age in time, which is all part of the beauty of our tables. Over time the stone will fade in colour, staining of the surface may appear and surface cracks, if not already visible at time of purchase, may also appear. These are not faults of the product, but only part of the aging process. Our tables are structurally unconditionally guaranteed for 5 years. As the stone is adhered to a metal table top base, small cracks do not affect the structure of the table.

With a little bit of maintenance, cleaning of your table as well as re-sealing it after a period of time (10-15 years), your table will still be looking great in years to come.

Since any stone table is susceptible to staining, it is advisable to clean any spills straight away, especially acid-based liquids and foods such as wine and coffee. If staining does occur, you can go to www.aquamix.com.au and then to “Problem Solver” area and choose the correct cleaning solution for your problem.

NEVER use abrasive or acid-based products to clean stone and always rinse with water and dry.

As our tables are factory sealed with Aquamix sealers and enhancers, we recommend their range of range of sealers and cleaners to keep preserving the beauty and durability of your stone table. Without a sealer, stone will stain almost instantly. Sealers, although not impenetrable, work by providing reaction time to enable you to remove the contaminant. We use and recommend Aquamix Sealers Choice Gold. Rejuvenating faded stone with an enhancing sealer will help bring back the stone’s original colours. We use and recommend Aquamix Enrich’N’Seal.

Last, but not least, all our tables are hand-made. Thus no table is the same, no stone piece, the same.

You truly have beautiful and unique product – timeless and ageless, that will stand the test of time!
