Slate
Tabletops made from slate are just as attractive as marble and make for an extravagant addition to any
elegantly styled home. When teamed with antiqued metal components, slate top furnishings look
gorgeous and thus, are a popular choice when it comes to accent and common room furnishings.
Preventive Care
• Slate tabletops are not heat or food safe, avoid placing hot vessels on these surfaces.
• Slate is subject to scratching and etching. Avoid placing cutlery, and sharp objects directly on the
surface. We recommend using placemats, trivets and coasters at all times.
• Clean/Blot spills immediately as slate is porous and can be stained especially by acidic
substances.
Metal Surfaces
A popular choice of surface material in spaces based on the Industrial design style, metal makes for an
easy to care, low-maintenance surface that is durable and visually enticing. With regular dusting and
wiping, most metal surfaces can remain clean, but it is important to consider some preventive measures
to ensure the longevity of the furniture.
Preventive Care
• Metal tends to expand and contract when exposed to heat. We recommend using placemats
and coasters that ensure hot vessels are not in direct contact with the metal surface.
• Clean/Blot spills with a dry cloth as metal can be stained especially by acidic substances like
coffee, fruit juices, wine etc.
• Once the surface is dry, use a suitable store-bought surface cleaner to clean the tabletop.
• Do not chop/cut vegetables directly on a metal surface as most metal surfaces are not scratch
resistant
