SM Tabletops are made by a special process
that produces a seamless weather resistant durable tabletop
for both indoor & outdoor use. The process begins
by chipping an African hardwood, Okoume, into rice size pieces which are then
dried & infused with resins. The process renders each rice-sized particle
water resistant. These particles are then cold molded into the table top shape.
This blank then goes into a hot molding press, where the decorative & protective
melamine sheets are applied under heat & pressure. The resulting tabletop
is stable, water & weather resistant, has the surface properties of a laminate,
but with an integral substrate, so there is no possibility of de-lamination,
separation or warping. SM tops are designed to be used outdoors in high traffic
applications and will keep their good looks for many years.
