Pool Table Designs
Choosing The Right Pool Table Design
A pool table can be much more than a games table for playing pool or billiards; some of the best designs fit perfectly into any home or room and make the perfect addition to the decor of a property. The use of proper hardwood and high grade materials, as well as elegant table design, ensures that you will get almost as much pleasure out of looking at the table and showing it off to others as you will get from playing on it. Modern pool table design also offers a wide variety of colours, styles, and materials for you to choose from.
Budget
As with any major purchase, budget is likely to be an issue when choosing pool table design. Authentic, traditional pool tables offer a unique look but because they considered antiques and typically use much thicker slate and other materials in their construction they can prove prohibitively expensive. Not only are they expensive to purchase but the added weight means that they are equally difficult and costly to move and remove. Modern pool tables are available in authentic, incredible designs but at a fraction of the cost and weight.
Size
Size matters when it comes to choosing a billiard table for your home. Regulation pool tables are 9 foot in length and half that size in width but pool tables are also available in 7’ and 8’ designs. The 8’ design offers a very good combination that is easier to fit in the home while being very close to regulation size. Regardless of table length, any pool table should always be twice the length of its width to offer an authentic game of pool or billiards.
Slate Or Non-Slate?
One of the big decisions that people often face when choosing a pool table is whether to opt for a slate table or non-slate table. In reality, this isn’t a question of aesthetic design and to even the most amateur pool player, there is no question that slate tables offer a much better game. Slate tables are heavier and can be more expensive but they will last considerably longer and offer uniformity in the roll of the ball that is not offered by any slate substitute material. This is the reason that everybody from the novice to the purist would ideally choose a slate table.
Felt
One aspect of pool table design that matters both in terms of aesthetics and quality of play is the cloth, or felt that is used. A good quality felt should be thick and made with a tight weave in order to properly cover the playing surface but modern felts are available in virtually any colour so you can really let your design side come out when choosing a pool table for your house. Not all pool tables include the felt when you buy them so be cautious when you pick your table that you know whether you need to purchase felt separately or not.
Design Styles
Design styles range from ultra modern and sleek to traditional and authentic and materials used for the construction of the legs and the frame can vary from lesser quality MDF to high quality hardwoods, oak, cherry, and walnut. The decision of style and material will largely be down to your personal preference but with such a wide variety available you shouldn’t have problems finding the billiard table design that is just right for you.
