Outdoor HPL Compact Table Top for Terraces, 1200x690 mm

A solid outdoor work surface built to withstand sun, heat and spills on open catering terraces. The HPL compact material forms a non-porous sheet that repels liquids, resists cigarette burns and does not fade under ultraviolet light, so the table top keeps its colour and finish through seasons of outdoor service.

The surface is a single rigid panel that needs no frame or legs of its own; it rests directly on the supporting structure the kitchen provides. This gives a flat, uninterrupted plane for food preparation, plating or service, with no seams or joints where dirt can collect. Because the material is compact and dense, it does not warp or sag even when exposed to rain or dew, so the worktop stays level and stable.

To use the table, the operator simply places it on the chosen base—legs, cupboards or a custom stand—and secures it with the fixing points provided. No assembly is needed beyond positioning and fastening. The top is ready for immediate service, whether for chopping, garnishing or holding hot dishes.

The construction is a high-pressure laminate core faced with a durable melamine layer that resists scratches and stains. The edges are sealed to prevent moisture ingress, and the entire panel is UV-stabilised to prevent yellowing or bleaching in sunlight. The material is also heat-resistant, so hot pans or trays placed directly on the surface will not scorch or mark it.

Cleaning is straightforward: the non-porous surface wipes clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Stubborn marks can be removed with a non-abrasive cleaner without damaging the finish. Because the material is stain-resistant, spills from sauces, oils or drinks do not penetrate and can be cleaned without leaving a trace.

The table top is supplied in a single size of 1200 by 690 millimetres, giving a generous work area that fits standard outdoor catering layouts. Its compact thickness keeps the weight manageable while maintaining rigidity, so it can be moved or repositioned when the terrace layout changes.

Designed for outdoor catering use, the HPL compact table top is listed in the BHS outdoor equipment catalogue.
