Outdoor HPL Compact Table Top for Terraces, 1390x890 mm

A solid work surface built for open terraces, this HPL compact table top withstands the demands of outdoor catering without warping or fading. High-pressure laminate (HPL) is bonded under heat and pressure to create a dense, non-porous sheet that resists moisture, temperature swings and direct sunlight. The material does not absorb spills, so stains stay on the surface where they can be wiped away rather than soaking in and becoming permanent. Its hardness also prevents dents and scratches from daily use, keeping the worktop looking new even after repeated service.

To use the table top, position it on a sturdy base or frame designed for outdoor loads. Secure it with the fixing points provided, ensuring it is level and stable. Once in place, the surface is ready for food preparation, plating or serving directly from the terrace. There are no controls or settings; the worktop remains functional as long as it is kept clean and dry.

The construction is a single sheet of HPL compact, 1390 mm long and 890 mm wide. The material is resistant to UV rays, so it will not yellow or weaken under prolonged sunlight. It also withstands burns from hot pans or cigarettes, preventing permanent marks. Stains from food, drinks or cleaning agents can be removed with a damp cloth and mild detergent, restoring the surface without scrubbing or specialised products.

The size of 1390 by 890 mm provides a generous work area for outdoor catering tasks, allowing multiple dishes or utensils to be laid out at once. The compact nature of the material means the table top is lightweight enough to be moved by two people, yet rigid enough to support heavy loads without sagging. Its resistance to damage and easy cleaning make it suitable for high-traffic terraces where hygiene and durability are essential.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe the surface with a damp cloth to remove loose debris, then use a mild detergent solution to lift any remaining stains. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as these can dull the finish over time. Regular cleaning maintains the table top's appearance and extends its lifespan in outdoor conditions.

This table top is part of the BHS outdoor range, designed specifically for use on open terraces and other exposed areas where standard worktops would degrade quickly.
