Are you fed up with the same old mass - produced furniture? Do you seek a unique piece that combines functionality with artistic charm? Look no further than our custom epoxy resin tables!
What Is Epoxy Resin?
Epoxy resin is created by a set of reagents with an “epoxy group” – a specific chemical compound in which two carbon atoms are bonded to an oxygen atom. The epoxy compound is highly reactive with almost anything, which is great news for those who want to make epoxy furniture. It will react very well with a hardening agent to dry and cure into a hard surface. It should be noted that epoxy reactions need to occur in a room - temperature workspace, and excessive use should be avoided because epoxy reactions are exothermic (they release heat as they react). If you follow the temperature and usage guidelines, the reaction will not pose a fire hazard.
What Are Epoxy Resin Tables?
Our epoxy resin tables are a perfect blend of high - quality epoxy resin and natural wood. The result is a table that not only serves its practical function but also makes a great visual addition to any room. Whether it's for your dining area, office meeting room, living room as a coffee or sofa table, bar area, or even your kitchen countertop, an epoxy resin table is an ideal choice.
Unparalleled Customization Options
There are several factors worthy of your careful consideration:
1. Edge Shapes: Select from a variety of edge shapes to match your aesthetic tastes. The curved live edge gives a natural, organic look, while the straight live edge provides a more refined natural appearance. For a modern touch, there are the straight - cut edge, beveled edge, and rounded edge.
2. Epoxy Color Selection: The customization doesn't end with the physical form. You can choose from a wide range of epoxy colors, such as black, blue, green, white, purple, red, transparent, golden, and matte gray. And if you have a specific color in mind, just provide the Pantone color number, and we'll make it happen. You can also choose pearlescent powder, which creates beautiful, unique patterns when stirred by hand.
3. Tabletop Finish: We use high - quality German wax oil for the tabletop. This not only protects the wood but also enables you to feel the wood grain, enhancing the tactile and visual experience. Additionally, the option of a fire - burned finish gives the table a rich silver sheen, which is truly stunning.
4. Material and Size: You can pick the type of wood for the tabletop to meet your quality and style requirements. Besides standard sizes, we also offer custom sizing to fit any space perfectly. You can also choose from a selection of free table legs or choose not to have any, depending on your design concept. And don't forget to select your preferred shipping method.
The Pros and Cons of Epoxy Resin Tables
Pros:
1. Durability: These tables are built to last. They are extremely sturdy and can endure the passage of time.
2. Moisture Resistance: Ideal for kitchens and dining areas as they can resist moisture, preventing damage from spills and humidity.
3. High Customizability: Be creative! You can embed shells, stones, or wood chips into the epoxy resin, making each table a one - of - a - kind masterpiece.
4. Stunning Visual Appeal: The combination of natural wood and epoxy resin creates a visually striking piece that will be the center of attention in any room.
5. Easy Maintenance: A simple wipe with a damp cloth and mild cleaner is all it takes to keep your table looking great.
6. Heat Resistance: It can tolerate hot dishes and direct sunlight without being easily damaged.
7. Long Lifespan: With proper care, an epoxy resin table can serve you for many years.
Cons:
1. Cost: Compared to some other types of tables, epoxy resin tables are more expensive. However, the quality and uniqueness they offer make them a worthy investment.
2. UV Sensitivity: Over time, exposure to ultraviolet light can cause the epoxy resin to yellow or degrade. Consider using window treatments to protect your table from direct sunlight.
3. Weight: These tables are quite heavy, which can make moving them difficult.
4. Difficult to Repair: If damaged, repairing an epoxy resin table can be a complex and costly process.
5. Long Curing Time: The curing process can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the table.
6. Potential Toxicity: During the curing process, safety precautions need to be taken due to the potential toxicity of the resin.
7. Surface Vulnerability: Extremely hot objects can damage the surface, and the high - gloss finish is prone to scratches, although the table is generally durable.
8. Temperature - Dependent Hardness: When the resin gets too hot, its hardness decreases. In summer, during sea transportation, the table may deform if it's in a stuffy container. However, the more wood the table has, the more stable it is. For pure black and pearlescent powder - colored tables, adding wooden strips in the middle can enhance stability.
Tips for Protecting the Epoxy Resin Table
Here's how to protect your epoxy resin table:
1. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Over time, UV exposure can cause the epoxy to yellow or discolor. If your table is near a window, consider adding UV - filtering shades or curtains, or keep it out of direct sunlight. For outdoor use, place it under a shaded area.
2. Use Coasters and Mats: Heat can weaken or even warp the epoxy layer, so it's best to always use hot pads or trivets for hot dishes, pots, or coffee cups.
3. Preventing Scratches: Don't use sharp objects like knives directly on the surface, and avoid placing items with rough or sharp edges that could scratch the epoxy. For added protection, consider using a soft tablecloth during mealtimes or family activities.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a table that is both functional and a work of art, a custom epoxy resin table is an excellent choice.
