The melamine table top is a plastic-coated wood fibre board with a circumferential edge made of wood or plastic. The wood fibre board in the core is a certified, pollutant-free chipboard. The plastic coating of the surface is the name-giving portion of this E2 table top, because it consists of the Duroplast melamine resin. Surely many people know melamine as tableware or switches. It was and is used for this purpose because of its properties, which also distinguish it as a surface for E2 table tops. It is hard and therefore quite scratch-resistant, resistant to moisture and light and insulates electrically.
In addition to these properties, melamine table tops are very inexpensive to purchase due to the structure described above. Since they are also durable, they are an economically sensible choice as E2 table top without restriction.
With our melamine table tops you can choose from two thicknesses (19 mm and 25 mm). As E2 table top we recommend the stronger version (25 mm), because E2 table frames do not have supporting frames, but the table top only rests on the four legs. If the thinner top is to be used as an E2 table top, we recommend installing table top supporters from a top length of 150 cm to prevent the top from sagging.
Next, you can choose from the colours white, black and various shades of grey as well as wood-look decors. And you also have the choice of surface finish: smooth or pearled. A pearled E2 table top is even more resistant to signs of wear than a smooth one. First and foremost, however, the two surface types differ from each other visually and haptically.
Good to know: Melamine table tops have two identical usable sides, so they can be turned over if necessary. However, we only guarantee a flawless surface for one side.
Linoleum is the material with the warm feel and the many beautiful colours in our table top assortment. In addition to the 21 colours, there are the numerous shapes that you can have made with your individual
E2 tabletop.
Different corner radii and edge shapes are possible. You can also choose from three different table top cores. In total, over 1,000 variants of linoleum table tops are possible in this way, which you can order from us. And, of course, everything according to your personal specifications.
Linoleum consists of natural raw materials such as linseed oil, jute, wood and limestone flour. It forms a pleasant table surface on which you can write and draw wonderfully.
With us you can choose from three plate materials, which we offer with linoleum surface: A rod board with edging, a multiplex board and an MDF board (medium density fibreboard). The last two types show their materiality at the edge, so they do not have a covering edging.
Because the MDF and multiplex boards have open edges, you can choose how the edges should look for both types of board: In addition to the classic straight (i.e. vertical) edge, we also offer an inclined edge, which is worked at an angle of 25° (seen from the horizontal). Due to the quite flat angle, an E2 table top with this edge appears much thinner.
Important: The linoleum surface also covers the entire top of the table including the edge of the edge up to the outermost edge of the table when using rod tops (with edge banding). The linoleum is therefore not edged by the edge band. Because the linoleum is glued to the edging and remains visible from the side, it is also called a single edging instead of a edging. The linoleum has a small bevel at all edges.
A black E2 tabletop looks elegant and is available as a melamine tabletop exclusively with the pearled surface from us. Compared to the black surface, our mostly lighter real wood edgings stand out quite clearly and thus create a framed impression. Only with a black ABS edging an E2 table top looks "like from one block". Linoleum table tops are available in black but also in anthracite and other dark colours. Here the choice of colours is much more differentiated.
A white table top lies on most E2 table racks. It is the classic melamine tabletop with a pearled surface. A large bright surface is friendly in the room and creates a good working atmosphere. We offer linoleum table tops in the light colours cream and light grey. We do not have a brilliant white in the colour selection of the linoleum table tops.
A large selection of 21 different colours is available for the linoleum table tops.
The possibilities for melamine table tops are much clearer. The colours white, grey and black are available as well as wood-look decors.
No more tangled cables on your legs despite power supply units, monitor and LAN connection in place.
How do I care for my linoleum table top?
Dust, crumbs and loose dirt can simply be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Please wipe up spilled drinks, food etc. with a soft cloth as soon as possible! If necessary, you can use a detergent solution to deal with any dirt. Stubborn soiling is best removed with a special cleaning agent, such as Harell cleaning agent for linoleum. Please never use lyes, disinfectants or solvents such as acetone or petrol! These destroy the linoleum surface irreversibly. For basic care, we recommend that linseed oil products developed for linoleum be applied to the material with a cloth and quickly blurred. However, linoleum is quickly over-cultivated: Oily products can clog it and leave shiny spots.
How do I care for my melamine table top?
The melamine surface of your E2 table top does not require any basic care. In case of soiling you can clean the surface with gentle detergents such as washing-up liquid. Please do not use any scouring agents or scratching scouring pads despite the rather resistant surface!
Can I use my E2 table top from both sides?
Melamine table tops can be used from both sides because both sides have the same surface. Only one side is guaranteed to be flawless, so there is only one A-side.
Linoleum table tops can only be used from one side. On the back side they are not coated with linoleum, but with a brown-violet paper. In addition, the contact surfaces in the linoleum would appear as pressure points if the plate with the linoleum side were on the E2 table frame.
How do I incline my E2 tabletop so that I can work like I would at a drawing table?
There are two ways to tilt an E2 tabletop out of the horizontal so that the tabletop lies diagonally in front of you:
a) With the first option, place the front edge of your E2 tabletop on the horizontal struts of the two side panels. In this way an inclination of 2 degrees is achieved. The rear part of the table top rests loosely on height adjusters. With them, an inclination of up to 19 degrees can be achieved.
b) If you do not want to place the E2 table top on the side parts, but want to fix it to the table frame, you will need fasteners for inclined tops. The two rear fasteners are screwed to the E2 table top and at the same time inserted into the two rear height adjusters (first remove the plugs). The front part of the table top can rest loosely on the side parts or height adjusters.
From what plate size do I need plate amplifiers for my E2 table plate?
For different plate types we give different recommendations, starting from which length they should be supported when used on E2 table racks with plate amplifiers:
- Melamine table tops with a material thickness of 19 mm from a top length of 150 cm
- Linoleum panels with MDF (Valchromat) panel core from a panel length of 150 cm
- Linoleum panels with multiplex plate core with a material thickness of 20 mm from a plate length of 150 cm
- You can use all other table tops from our assortment without plate amplifiers.
