Have you given any notice to the table base in any restaurant or cafe? When you visit any cafe or restaurant, the next time you will notice that the tables there mostly have an iron base. Have you wondered why the cafe or restaurant owners prefer to use such iron table base. Well, the answer is pretty simple. Firstly, cast iron which is primarily used to make such iron table base is one material that is available in abundance and at a relatively cheap cost. Therefore, they become a practical and simple choice for such common use.
It is very interesting to note the way cast iron is made. It is still made in the same way that it was made in the ancient times. Firstly, the iron ingots are melted in a foundry. After the cast iron is melted, the melted liquid is poured into a sand box mould. On cooling, the sand boxes are broken and cleaned. Then, the moulded pieces of cast iron are painted and packaged into boxes which are ready to be sent to the market.
The iron table bases are usually made from wrought iron. Wrought iron, pronounced as rot iron is a fibrous metal. It has qualities such as malleability and can be easily welded into any shape or size. Iron is said to rust after some time due to corrosion. But cast iron when wrought it appears to be aged or antiqued and starts to have a kind of coppery finish. Therefore, the wear off of wrought iron is delayed and hence makes up as a very good long term investment.
The table cases made from such iron are very strong and heavy. They provide the tables with strength and stability. Moreover, wrought iron is durable and heavy therefore there is no wobbling effect. Therefore, they are popular as table bases.
Many variations can be tried with the iron bases. The bases may be designed with glass, stained glass, mirror, slate, marble, wood, mosaic to name a few. Some designs and artwork may also be carried out in these bases to make it look stylish. Further, the bases may be given a finish of gun metal, copper, bronze, sand or even charcoal to make it look attractive. Moreover, since wrought iron can be easily mouldable. The tops can be given any desired shape such as round, rectangular, triangular or a square shape.
Mostly, the iron table bases are painted in black. The iron table bases are painted in black to camouflage the roughness of the surface which is manufactured from the casting of the sand. However, in these times many methods and equipments are available to achieve good quality. In spite of this black is still the most preferred and used colour for the iron based table bases.
Nowadays the quality and the designs of the table tops available in the market have improved tremendously. However, the cafes and the restaurants still depend on the iron table base. The reasons remain the same that is for the reliability and strength of iron.
