Zinc is an excellent material for table tops thanks to its balance of durability, character and practicality. It is naturally resistant to corrosion and everyday wear, making it well suited to both commercial and residential use. Over time, zinc forms a patina that not only acts as a protective layer but also adds warmth and individuality. This evolving finish is valued in interior design because it lends a tactile, lived-in quality.
In busy environments such as cafés, bars and kitchens, zinc’s low maintenance is another advantage. It is easy to c

We source our zinc sheets from leading European mills, ensuring exceptional quality and a flawless natural finish. Each sheet is carefully selected for consistency, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
Using advanced CNC machinery, we create precise, seamless bends that minimise joints, enhancing both the look and structural integrity of long tabletops.
For added strength and stability, we bond our zinc surfaces to high-quality support materials like MRMDF and birch ply, preventing warping and ensuring a smooth, long-lasting finish.

An antique zinc patina accelerates natural ageing to produce depth, variation and soft tonal changes. The finish includes muted greys and charcoal undertones, sometimes with light texturing that mimics gradual wear. It gives the impression of a piece that has matured in place, offering a timeless, crafted aesthetic.
Its main appeal lies in the atmosphere it creates. Antique zinc suits traditional, industrial and vintage-inspired schemes, helping spaces feel grounded and characterful. As no two finishes are identical, each table top has a bespoke quality
An aged zinc patina darkens and softens the metal, creating a gently weathered surface. The finish features mid-grey tones with subtle mottling, similar to naturally matured zinc. It strikes a balance between refinement and vintage charm.
Aged zinc adds depth to both contemporary and classic schemes. Its slightly worn character feels welcoming, masking everyday wear in dining tables, bars or worktops. It pairs well with wood, leather and neutral palettes, helping create cohesive spaces. For clients who want individuality with a softer aesthetic, aged zinc offers warmth without the stronger statement of rusted finishes.
A satin zinc patina produces a smooth, lightly lustrous surface with a uniform appearance. Instead of pronounced ageing, it offers muted sheen and refined elegance. The colour sits in the light to mid-grey range, reflecting light softly rather than shining.
This finish suits sleek, modern and minimalist interiors. It introduces sophistication without appearing clinical and complements materials such as marble, glass and pale wood. The even tone suits environments where a clean, consistent look is preferred, such as high-end restaurants or contemporary ki
A medium zinc patina sits between satin and heavily aged finishes. It features mid-grey tones with mild variation and soft shading, giving a gently matured appearance. The finish retains clarity while offering more character than a polished surface.
Medium zinc is highly versatile. It blends with dark woods, exposed brick, textiles or industrial elements without clashing. The tonal variation adds personality while remaining subtle enough for understated schemes. In commercial spaces, it disguises everyday use and adds depth without distraction. It is ideal for clients wanting an organic look that balances cleanliness with character.
Our zinc-topped tables combine industrial charm with expert engineering, offering a refined yet durable surface.

Designed for longevity, each table features precisely wrapped edges and a solid core for superior strength, making them perfect for both commercial and residential use.
Paired with decorative legs of cast iron or metal, our tables create a bold and striking centrepiece for dining areas, kitchens, home offices, or contempora
