Outdoor HPL Compact Table Top 790 x 590 mm

A solid work surface built for open-air catering terraces, where sunlight, spills and hot pans are part of the daily routine. The HPL compact material is a dense laminate pressed under high heat and pressure, creating a non-porous sheet that resists moisture, heat and staining without warping or fading. Its surface does not absorb grease, wine or cleaning chemicals, so marks wipe away with a damp cloth rather than soaking in and becoming permanent.

The table top sits directly on a base frame or existing counter, providing a level platform for food preparation, plating or service. No heating, cooling or power is involved; the material itself carries the load and withstands the elements. Because it is UV-stable, the colour stays true through seasons of sunlight, and the surface will not blister or char when a hot pan is set down briefly. Scratches and knocks leave only superficial marks, so the appearance remains professional even after heavy use.

To use, place the top on a sturdy outdoor-rated frame or counter, ensuring the full 790 x 590 mm area is supported underneath. Secure it with the fixing points provided or leave it loose for seasonal removal. Load plates, utensils or food directly onto the surface; no trivets or mats are needed for hot items. After service, wipe with a mild detergent solution and rinse. Stubborn stains can be lifted with a non-abrasive cream cleaner, but the material does not require sealing, oiling or polishing.

The construction is a single 790 x 590 mm sheet of HPL compact, with no joints or seams that could trap dirt. Edges are sealed to prevent water ingress, and the underside is smooth to discourage dust collection. No moving parts or electrical components are present, so maintenance is limited to surface cleaning and occasional checks that the fixing points remain tight.

The 790 x 590 mm footprint provides a compact yet practical work area for outdoor stations, fitting neatly onto standard terrace frames or existing counters. Its weight keeps it stable in windy conditions without needing permanent fixing, while still allowing seasonal removal if required.

Designed for open terrace use, the top is compatible with outdoor-rated bases and frames from BHS and other professional catering equipment suppliers. It is listed in the outdoor worktop section of the BHS catalogue.
