Configure table top
A tabletop is not just a surface for eating, writing, crafting or playing. It is an important design element in your home. Its shape, material and texture have a decisive influence on the character, use and effect of your room. And this is exactly where Modulor table tops come into play. Because you can customise them from numerous options. In the configurator, you not only choose between melamine, HPL and linoleum table tops, but also determine the format, edge finish and colour. If desired, you can also have a cable aperture installed. For example, do you want a large-format table top with a bright red linoleum coating and rounded edges in yellow? That's no problem at Modulor. You can configure your dream table top in our configurator. The following overview summarises the individual properties of the different table top types and lists the range of available options.
Melamine table tops
are our classic standard worktops and are characterised by their versatility. With their hard-wearing surface, they are robust and can withstand daily wear and tear. They can also be used flexibly thanks to their double-sided usability. In addition, the resource-saving chipboard core ensures a more sustainable use of materials. However, the top price-performance ratio is particularly convincing, making a melamine table top an economical choice. Melamine table tops become eye-catchers with edge banding. Whether in a contrasting colour or tone-on-tone with the colour of the table top, the ABS plastic edging allows for individual combinations. Alternatively, white melamine table tops, for example, can be finished with decorative real wood edges made from different types of wood. This not only protects the edges, but also makes them decorative: they visually frame the top and bottom of the table top. Melamine table tops are also available in two thicknesses. Tops with a thickness of 19 mm are suitable for smaller tables such as side tables, living room tables or plant stools. The 25 mm thick melamine table tops, on the other hand, can also be used for larger desks and conference tables.
Melamine is a robust, unbreakable and hard plastic. Its properties make it ideal for the manufacture of kitchenware and toys, for example, but also as a coating for table tops.
Melamine is only partially heat-resistant. Temperatures above 70°C and below 2°C should be avoided.
Melamine is considered a robust and easy-care material. It is resistant and does not discolour. Melamine surfaces are also easy to clean. This makes the material ideal for use as a table top.
HPL table tops
impress with their robustness and versatility for indoor use. As a stable desk top, but also as a hard-wearing dining table top, they can easily withstand the demands of everyday use. Despite this high level of practicality, the table top has a modern, light and elegant look thanks to its simple matt surface. A customised design can be created using the edge options in particular. Straight or bevelled edges and rounded corners create an appealing, timeless aesthetic. The optional bevelled edge at a 25° angle in particular gives the table top a delicate look: although it is very stable, the edge, which is only about 8 mm visible, makes it appear much thinner and almost floating. This impression is complemented by softly rounded corners with a radius of 25 or, even better, 50 mm. These not only ensure a harmonious appearance, but also increase safety. Important: HPL table tops are not weather-resistant. They are therefore not suitable for outdoor use and should not be used as garden tables.
HPL is a laminate pressed together under high pressure. Table tops made of HPL are pressed together from several layers of resin-impregnated wood fibres. The top layer can be provided with a decorative pattern. To protect the material, the HPL top is finally sealed with transparent melamine resin.
HPL table tops do not require any special care. A soft cloth or sponge and a mild washing-up liquid are sufficient for cleaning. Abrasive cleaners or aggressive sponges, on the other hand, can scratch and damage the HPL surface.
Both melamine and HPL table tops are robust and heat-resistant. Due to its material properties, HPL is waterproof and can therefore be used both indoors and outdoors. Melamine, on the other hand, is considered the cheapest material for table tops.
Linoleum table tops
The high-quality, natural material made from linseed oil, jute, wood and limestone flour makes our linoleum table tops particularly sustainable and environmentally friendly. They can be designed in a wide variety of colours and have a pleasant feel thanks to their matt, non-slip texture. They are also heat-resistant up to 70 °C for short periods and have an antibacterial effect. This makes them particularly hygienic, suitable for everyday use and ideal for use in the kitchen and dining room. With its biodegradable material, the linoleum table top combines functionality, aesthetics and environmental awareness in a convincing way. The configurator allows you to put together your own customised table top from over 1000 variations. There are three table top cores, 21 linoleum colours, two table top edges, three corner radii and three cable aperture variations to choose from.
Linoleum is ideal as a table top coating. The material is heat-resistant in the short term, easy to clean and non-slip. Linoleum surfaces are considered antibacterial. Table tops with a linoleum coating are therefore very suitable for kitchen and dining tables.
Linoleum table tops are sealed with a protective layer. This layer protects against scratches and stains and makes the linoleum table top resistant.
Linoleum consists largely of natural raw materials such as linseed oil, wood flour and cork. More than three quarters of the material is rapidly renewable. Linoleum is biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Modulor table frames
You can't work on a table top alone. Your table should also have a nice base. That's why you can combine all table tops with Modulor table bases from E to Y. The selection ranges, for example, from the sturdy, aesthetically understated table frame M to frame X with the filigree connecting cross and the Egon Eiermann-inspired classic E2. There are numerous colours to choose from for all of them. Can't make up your mind with so many options? In that case, Modulor already has many tables in standard formats that are available for immediate delivery.
