Formica is a deliberate choice for surfaces that take daily punishment. Here is why it works for high-traffic dining, meeting and commercial tables.
Formica achieves premium looks at a fraction of the cost of solid materials, and it is designed to withstand high-traffic environments. It is highly resistant to scratches and impact, which makes it ideal for busy families as well as commercial dining and meeting settings. On the Tullamore Table we use a 25 mm thick Formica top for exactly this reason.
Formica features a non-porous surface, which means it does not require sealing and naturally resists the growth of bacteria and mould. Spills wipe away easily with no complex maintenance required — a real advantage in shared, high-use spaces.
Formica surfaces are engineered to look as good as the day they were installed for many years to come, maximising the lifecycle of your furniture piece. That longevity also supports our made-to-order, built-to-last approach: pieces that do not need frequent replacement conserve resources over time.
Day to day, wipe the surface with a clean, soft, damp cloth and a mild liquid detergent, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth to avoid streaks. Avoid abrasive scouring pads, steel wool and harsh chemicals such as bleach or acidic cleaners, and always use coasters or hot pads under hot dishes, as extreme heat can damage the bond of the laminate.
For the powder-coated steel base, dust regularly with a dry, lint-free microfibre cloth and clean with warm, soapy water when needed, wiping dry immediately to prevent spotting. Avoid industrial solvents, alcohol-based cleaners and abrasive agents that could erode the protective finish.
