Properties And Maintenance Of Zinc Table

By George Brooks


Zinc is a kind of chemical element that can be found readily in the soil, air, and water. In the body, this chemical element is vital to the normal functioning of hundreds of enzymes. It also plays a major role in several biological processes. The digestive and immune systems need this metal for proper functioning.

This metal is desirable for construction of surfaces because of its high level of durability. It is used in the making of several different types of products such as artistic designs, roofing, countertops, flashing designs, range hoods, and zinc table. It has a timeless patina that blend beautifully with other materials. This makes it very suitable for constructing contemporary as well as traditional pieces.

There are several reasons that make tables constructed out to zinc to be used widely in restaurants and kitchens. To begin with, natural properties of the material renders it maintenance-free. The patinas blends properly with other construction materials in most homes. It has a smooth surface that is easy to clean and maintain. Finally, this material is antibacterial, nonporous, and anti-microbial.

When used to make tables, only the highest quality of zinc should be used. The metal is totally safe for food since it bears no health effects. This is one of the qualities that make it very preferable. The metal exists as a living alloy. It undergoes change in response to the environment it is exposed to. Over time, one may notice that it becomes darker. It is completely stain resistant, with most stains and marks disappearing over time.

A thin layer gets formed on the surface of metals when they are exposed to elements. This coating is referred to as the patina, and in most cases it is a carbonate or an oxide. Patinas mostly take on a brown or gray hue and the richer variant of the hue may need decades of years to form. Buying an already patinated product is more advantageous because the color is retained.

Zinc is one of the materials that are ecologically friendly. Few materials fall in this category. The material is also 100 percent recyclable and has a high level of energy efficiency. When recycled, it retains its original chemical and physical properties. Recycling has reduced the necessity for new raw materials. About thirty percent of the material is supplied by recycling firms.

Cleaning a table made from zinc is very easy. One can use mild soap and water since no special cleaners are needed. There is no need for cleaning on a regular basis. Wiping the surface everyday should be able to keep it clean. Bleaching agents should not be used for cleaning. The metal is usually very soft, with a low melting point. As such, placing pots that are over 200 degrees may leave behind marks.

The production of these products is done by many different stores and companies. The internet is full of information on some of the major producers. Before settling for a specific product or company, one should compare prices and other factors among various sellers.
