Table Pad

Q: How Are Table Pads Made?

A: Our table pads are handcrafted by experienced people whose work is defined by their patience and skills. We use the best materials to provide the best product for your hard-earned dollar. All table pads are custom-made.

We produce our table pads in three layers. Our core board is a ⁷/₁₆“-thick, light-density, smooth fiberboard. This board is wrapped up in smooth velour-like material. On the surface side, we laminate two of the insulation felt materials to create a ³/₁₆” thick layer. This table pad side is wrapped up in vinyl material. The finished pad has a total thickness of ⅝”. This composition retains enough flexibility to allow the pads to lie very flat. We only use water-based adhesives from Indiana and Ohio-based manufacturers. We never use animal glue.

Q: How Do I Measure My Table?

A: Measure the overall width and length of the flat surface of the table. Accuracy is important. Try to measure in ¹/₁₆” using the metal flexible tape measure. Measure the width (shorter measurement) of the leaf (leaves). If there is a very small bevel or your glass table, you might want to cover the bevel, too.

Let us know the shape of your table. Populate all other required fields. We likely have that pattern on file if you have the table manufacturer name and the model number. If your table has simple round corners and cannot measure the corner radius, you can take a “bird’s eye” photo of the corner.

Q: How Are You Going To Construct My Table Pad?

A: Table pad construction depends on the size, shape, and kind of table for which you need a table pad. It also depends on the production material width, machinery limitations, and shipping limitations.

The main table pad section (without leaves) is always produced in two sections unless there are no leaves and the size is under 54 x 42 square or oval.

Width:

All table pads up to 54″ in width are produced with one fold. If you request, we can make even larger ones with one fold (up to 60″ round or rectangular). However, the shipping cost will be higher in this case. Wider table pads are produced in sections or with two to three hinges (like an accordion).

Length:

All table pads shorter than 84″ will be cut in two sections; longer ones, depending on their overall length, will be cut in three or more sections.

Q: How Do I Clean/Care For My Table Pad?

A: Use the mildly wet cotton or microfiber cloth to clean your vinyl table pad surface. If the surface becomes dirtier, use disinfecting wipes to clean the area, but use a dry cloth to wipe the moisture. Do not clean the underlining velour-like material with anything moist. Use a fine brush to brush it off.

It would be best to store table pads flat, preferably protected in the storage bag or the original shipping carton. If you have to store them in a vertical position, use the longest fold as a base and, if possible, press them against any vertical surface, like a book on the bookshelf. Do not store the pad in a moist, too-cold, or very hot environment.
