One of the most important steps you can take to preserve the finish of your dining or antique table over many years of use is protecting it from everyday hazards. Dining table protective pads provide a level of defense that chemical coatings simply cannot achieve. While surface treatments may help with minor spills, only custom tabletop padding offers complete protection from scratches, nicks, and accidental exposure to excessive heat.
Our dining table protective pads are handcrafted by experienced professionals whose workmanship reflects patience, precision, and skill. Each pad is custom-made using a high-quality three-layer construction. The core consists of a 7/16-inch thick, light-density smooth fiberboard, wrapped in a soft velour-like material to protect the table’s finish. On the surface side, two layers of insulation felt are laminated to create a 3/16-inch protective layer, which is then wrapped in durable vinyl. The finished pad has a total thickness of 5/8 inches, allowing it to lie flat while remaining flexible and sturdy. Only water-based adhesives from Indiana manufacturers are used, and animal glue is never part of the process.
Style is just as important as protection. These pads are available in 22 vinyl top colors and eight velour-like underlining colors. The vinyl surface material is produced in New Jersey, while the velour and velvet-like underlinings are manufactured in Massachusetts, following environmentally responsible standards and complying with California Proposition 65.
In terms of heat resistance, dining table protective pads can withstand accidental heat exposure up to 550°–600°F. However, to protect the pad itself, coasters and trivets should always be used for very hot or cold items.
For larger tables, pads are made in multiple sections and secured with the trusted Quick-Lock™ interlocking system. Used since the 1980s, this high-quality plastic connector reliably prevents sections from sliding apart, outperforming magnetic alternatives.
Investing in dining table protective pads ensures long-lasting beauty, functionality, and peace of mind for your most valued furniture.
