Some things to consider before making a purchase. Please read this information, we want customers to be happy with their purchase however there are some product limitations to understand before making a purchase.

1 - Areas of use in the home. This product is for internal use only. We do not recommend the product to be used in any internal environment where the product is exposed to regular direct or indirect sunlight, for example in a conservatory / kitchen dining room without window shade or UV protection; in these unprotected environments the product will be subject to excessive shrinkage and surface distortion.

2 - the product comes in four variants. Clear PVC, Embossed plain Austen Embossed with Nightingale pattern, Embossed with Bronte pattern. With the embossed product the the underside of the table protector is finely embossed and the top surface is smooth. The maximum width of Clear PVC is 120cm, the maximum width of Austen, Nightingale and Bronte is 100cm.

3 - the Clear PVC variant, when used on glass table tops and light coloured table tops, will show air bubbles under the surface; in this situation we recommend using the embossed PVC variant, this will not show any trapped air bubbles.

4.1 - product shrinkage - we have a dedicated blog page on this subject, please read this blog before making a purchase.

4.2 - heat protection - we have a dedicated blog page on this subject, please read this blog before making a purchase.

5 - when ordering Extra Thick PVC Rectangles, Squares and Ovals order product size that fits your table top size; we will make the adjustment for any natual shrinkage allowance in our workshop.

6 - when ordering Extra Thick PVC Round the table protector is cut to the exact size ordered so the product will experience a small amount of shrinkage after cutting. Embossed products (Austen, Nightingale and Bronte) experience less shrinkage compared to the Clear PVC product, so it is worth considering the embossed product for circular table protectors.

7 - outside use. We don not recomend Extra Thick Table Protectors to be used outdoors. Moisture between the table and the product, along with direct sunlight UV exposure will cause product detorioration in the form of excessive shrinkage and surface distortion.

8 - Extra Thick Clear Table Protectors are despatched rolled inside a cardboard postal tube, sealed with end caps. So, open the cardboard tube carefully and you can use the tube for ongoing storage of your product when not in use on the table top.

9 - Extra Thick Clear PVC is a solid slab of PVC, so this will place a non breathable layer onto your table top, similar to a glass overlay. Avoid using the PVC product on recently made / delivered tables that are finished with any form of french polishing or specialised lauquer or wax treatment. Specialised table top treatment finishes may be damaged by placing a permanent non breathable layer on top. If you are in any doubt as to the suitability of using a clear PVC layer on your table you should not use the product.
