Melamine, linoleum or HPL? Choose the right E2 table top
The melamine table top as an E2 table top
The melamine table top is a plastic-coated chipboard with an all-round wood or plastic edging. The table top is a certified non-toxic chipboard in emission class E05. The plastic coating of the surface determines the name of the E2 Eiermann table top: it consists of the thermoset melamine resin and paper webs soaked in it. You are probably already familiar with the material melamine from crockery or switches. It is hard and scratch-resistant, moisture- and light-resistant and electrically insulating.
In addition to these practical properties, melamine table tops are very economical to purchase thanks to the structure described above. As they are also durable, they are an economically sensible choice without restriction.
You can choose from two thicknesses (19 mm and 25 mm) for our melamine table tops. We recommend 25 mm thickness as the table top for the wider E2 version, as the table top only rests on the four legs at certain points. If you prefer the thinner, 19 mm thick tabletop or if the E2 table is to be used as a workbench, we recommend installing tabletop reinforcements. This prevents the top from sagging.
Next, you can select the colour of your E2 table top. You can choose from white, black, various shades of grey and a wider range of other colours. The pearled surface of our table tops is even more resistant than a smooth or even glossy surface. Good to know: Melamine table tops have two equal, usable sides. They can therefore be turned round if required. However, we only guarantee a flawless surface on one side.
The linoleum table top as an E2 table top
Linoleum is the material with the pleasant feel and the many beautiful colours in our table top range. Linoleum is made from natural raw materials such as linseed oil, jute, wood flour and limestone powder. It forms a pleasant table surface that is wonderful to write and draw on. You have a choice of 21 colours and numerous shapes from which you can have your individual E2 table top made.
With different corner radii and edge shapes, you can turn your Eiermann linoleum table top into a unique design. You can also choose from three different table top cores. In purely mathematical terms, this means that we can produce over 1,000 variants of linoleum table tops for you. And, of course, everything is customised to your personal specifications.
We offer a linoleum surface for three board materials: the rod board with edge banding, the multiplex board and the MDF board (medium density fibreboard). The latter two board types do not have a covering edge band and show what they are made of at the edge.
Because the MDF and multiplex boards have open edges, you can choose how the edges of both board types should look: In addition to the classic straight (i.e. vertical) edge, we also offer a bevelled edge at an angle of 25° (viewed from the horizontal). The fairly flat angle makes an E2 table top with this edge appear significantly thinner.
Important: The linoleum surface covers the entire top of the table, including the edging, right up to the very edge of the table, even in the case of strip tops (with edging). The linoleum is therefore not bordered by the edging. Because the linoleum is glued to the edging and remains visible from the side, it is also referred to as an edging instead of edging. The linoleum has a small bevelled area at all edges, the so-called chamfer.
The HPL table top as an E2 table top
Are you looking for a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution? Then the HPL table top is an excellent choice. HPL (High-Pressure Laminate) offers an extremely hard-wearing surface that is not only scratch-resistant and durable, but also allows for a variety of beautiful colours.
Another special highlight is the variety of shapes. This gives you the option of selecting different shapes and dimensions and customising the table top to suit your room. You can also choose from different corner radii and edge shapes to give your E2 table top an individual touch.
Discover HPL table tops
When choosing the panel cores, you have the choice between two high-quality materials: multiplex board (plywood) and MDF board (medium density fibreboard). Both options show their natural materiality on the open edges. This gives the board a modern and authentic look. The lack of a concealing edge band reinforces this impression and gives the table top a purist character.
The edge finish also offers two options. You can choose between the classic straight edge and the elegant Swiss edge, which is produced at an angle of 25°. These bevelled edges give the E2 table top a more delicate appearance and lend it a contemporary lightness.
The HPL table top is not only suitable for private use, but also for commercial applications. Whether in the home office, in a restaurant or in a modern meeting room - the robust surface is easy to clean and can easily withstand the demands of everyday use.
Black E2 table tops
A black E2 table top is elegant and, with a black ABS edging, looks "as if it were made from a block". In contrast, the lighter or coloured edging made of real wood or ABS stands out clearly against the black table surface, creating the impression of framing. Linoleum table tops and HPL table tops are also available with a black coating. This looks particularly attractive in combination with an anthracite-coloured MDF core.
White E2 table tops
Most E2 table frames are fitted with a white melamine table top. In white with beech edging, it is the classic. No wonder, because a large, light-coloured surface has a friendly effect in the room and creates a good working atmosphere. Our all-white Modulor Basic table tops are also particularly interesting, as we can offer them at very attractive prices thanks to very short lead times.
FAQ
You can simply wipe up dust, crumbs and loose dirt with a dry cloth. Please wipe up spilled drinks, food, etc. with a soft cloth as soon as possible! If necessary, you can use a dishwashing detergent solution to get rid of stubborn dirt. Stubborn stains are best removed with a special cleaning agent, such as Harell cleaning agent for linoleum. Please never use lyes, disinfectants or solvents such as acetone or petrol! These will irreversibly destroy the linoleum surface. For basic care, we recommend applying linseed oil products developed for linoleum to the material with a cloth and wiping it quickly. Basically, however, linoleum is quickly over-maintained: Oily products can clog it and leave shiny spots.
The melamine surface of your E2 tabletop does not require any basic maintenance. In case of soiling, you can clean the surface with gentle cleaning agents such as washing-up liquid. Despite the quite resistant surface, please do not use any scouring agents or scratching abrasive sponges!
Melamine table tops can be used from both sides, because both sides have the same surface. However, only one side is guaranteed to be flawless, so there is only one A-side.
Linoleum tabletops can only be used from one side. They are not coated with linoleum on the back, but with a brown-purple paper. In addition, the contact surfaces in the linoleum would show as pressure marks if the tabletop were to lie with the linoleum side on the E2 table frame.
There are two ways to tilt an E2 tabletop out of the horizontal so that the table surface is at an angle in front of you:
a) With the first option, you place the front edge of your E2 tabletop on the horizontal struts of the two side pieces. In this way, a slope of 2 degrees is already created. The rear part of the tabletop rests loosely on height adjusters. They can be used to achieve a tilt of up to 19 degrees.
b) If you do not want to rest the E2 tabletop on the side pieces but fix it to the table frame, you will need fixings for inclined tabletops. The two rear fixings are screwed to the E2 table top and at the same time inserted into the two rear height adjusters (remove plugs beforehand). The front part of the tabletop can rest loosely on the side parts or height adjusters.
For different types of tops, we give different recommendations as to the length from which they should be supported with top reinforcements when used on E2 table frames:
- Melamine table tops with a material thickness of 19 mm from a top length of 150 cm
- Linoleum tops with a core of MDF (Valchromat) from a top length of 150 cm
- Linoleum tops with multiplex core, material thickness 20 mm, from a tabletop length of 150 cm.
- All other table tops in our range can be used without a table top booster.
