Compact Laminate

Lately we have had many of our clients asking us what is compact laminate? We have wonderful compact laminate tops as an option with our commercial table tops so we thought we would find you links that explain what compact laminate is:


"Compact Laminate is a versatile, high performance material. Its solid laminated core comprises multiple layers of resin-impregnated quality kraft papers with, generally, a decorative surface on both sides. This impressively strong and damage-resistant homogeneous laminate has excellent strength."

"Compact Laminate is a strong, self-supporting and moisture-resistant decorative panel suitable for vertical or horizontal applications.
Stylish in appearance, Compact Laminate is distinguished by its black core, giving it enhanced resistance to scratches, wear, chemicals and impact. The inherent strength of Compact Laminate makes it the superior option for shelving, benches, tables and workstations because minimal supporting framework is required."

Our compact laminate tops are also suitable for indoors and outdoors.

Colours in your restaurant


How to colour your environment to impact the moods of the people within your café or restaurant

Color Moods - The Impact of Paint

Without a doubt there is a psychology of colour. Colour impacts our mood, our appetite, our energy level. Years of colour response research have shown that certain colours elicit specific--and often strong--responses.

COLOR WARM UP
Red, orange, and yellow Colours in the red, orange and yellow families are referred to as "warm" colours since they evoke images associated with heat, like fire or sunshine. As a result they make us feel warm in a psychological sense.

Red
This powerful colour increases blood pressure and heart rate. It often produces feelings of intimacy, energy, passion and sexuality. It also stimulates the appetite and is often used in restaurants and is an excellent choice for dining rooms in the home.

Orange
Like red, orange warms a room but in a less dramatic and passionate way. The mood and attitude of orange is more friendly than fiery; more welcoming than seductive. Orange works well in living rooms and family rooms and is also a good choice for children's bedrooms.

Yellow
Yellow grabs attention and catches the eye like no other colour, hence the use of yellow highlighters in offices. In poorly lit foyers and hallways, yellow shows the way. In their bedrooms, elderly people report that yellow lifts their mood. But bright yellow can be too strong and may actually cause anxiety in infants, young children and the elderly.

COLOR COOL OUT
Blue, green, and violet Blues, greens, violets and their intermediates are considered cool colors because of their references to pastoral landscapes and ocean vistas. When we look at these colors they elicit feelings of peace, tranquillity and relaxation.

Blue
Soothing blue is an ideal bedroom colour choice for adults and children. But that same blue that lulls us to sleep also suppresses our appetites, possibly because there are very few naturally blue foods. Put blue to bed, but try and keep it out of the dining room.

Green
As the dominant colour in nature, we are at home with green anywhere in the house. Light greens work well in baths and living rooms; mid-range greens are a great accent for kitchens and dining rooms. The calming effect of green makes it popular in hospitals, schools and work environments.

Violet
Despite the favourable response violet elicits in children, many adults dislike purples, with rosier shades of violet being somewhat more appealing. Children's bedrooms and play areas may be good places to experiment with this colour family.

Table Bases

Convenient Interiors provides a large range of table bases to choose from accompanied by a great range of table tops too. The reason Convenient Interiors do not sell ‘sets’ of bases and tops together is because we have found over the years that clients prefer to mix and match the bases and tops to their own taste and budget. Our range consists of many designs, materials and sizes. There are different metals to choose from when it comes to table bases such as stainless steel, aluminium, chrome and cast iron etc. There are also different heights to choose from; the standard table height is usually around 720mm high and the standard bar table height is usually around 1100mm high. You will also find most our standard table height table bases have corresponding bar height table bases to ensure consistency. Remember that when you go for a rectangle top for example 1100mmx800mm, then you need to select a twin base to ensure the base is stable enough for the large top. When purchasing table bases always check what is the largest size top that can go with that base and do not go over this recommendation otherwise tables can be unstable. Then there are also special table bases you can purchase form Convenient Interiors that can fold allowing for easy, compact storing. As you can see there are many options to choose from. If you need help, just ask our friendly staff. Happy shopping!

Tips on outdoor hospitality furniture

Handy tips when purchasing outdoor hospitality furniture.

When buying outdoor hospitality furniture ensure the items state that they can be used outdoors. Most outdoor furniture will be UV stable and easy to clean. Timber furniture is great for outdoors although remember this can require a lot of maintenance such as lacquering or staining.

When purchasing café outdoor table tops I would suggest table tops such as the Werzalit Duratops as these have a great warranty, are weather resistant, wear resistant, easy - care & hygienic.

I recommend the best metal material to go for when buying outdoor hospitality furniture
is aluminium or stainless steel. Aluminium and stainless steel are both hard wearing outdoor metals, although you will find stainless steel can be more expensive and will require some maintenance depending on the quality. Do not purchase chrome when your furniture will be outdoors subject to the weather, especially near the ocean/salt water.

Don’t hesitate ever to ask your sale representative at Convenient Interiors if the furniture you are interested in, is suitable for the area you are furnishing.
