Timber Bar Furniture Theme

The fashion is for new owners of restaurants, bars and pubs to pick a theme, whether contemporary or standard and presenting their tactic to their intended consumers. For the cafĂ© and pub trades, standard made of wood pub chairs and tables are yet the mainly fashionable. The ‘Mates’ and ‘Captains’ chairs and wooden bar stools on the other hand being recognised as giving the instantly recognisable English pub appear. For various years these pub chairs consume been made from beechwood (Fagus Sylvatica) species in European Countries, for instance, Czech republic or Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. Beechwood is a hardwood using good shock resistant uniqueness and is simple to stain to any finish.

This has been due to increased wage costs as labour mobility makes it very easy for their skilled workers to move to other European Countries and more costly working practices because they ought to meet the stricter EU legislation for health and safety law and environmental protection. Lots of of the factories making wooden bistro chairs and bar chairs eat needed to invest heavily in new machinery that is CNC controlled to reduce the wage costs. In the last year alone prices eat risen more than 20% for pub furniture that for loads of years eat been rising by no more than 2% per annum. The consequence on pub furnishing suppliers in the UK has been either to accept that these rises are a reality and lift up prices or to move to suppliers in other parts of the world, primarily Malaysia and China where cheaper wood species are used. The most well-liked species of timber used for making restaurant seats in these Countries is rubberwood (Hevea Brasiliensis) which is a hardwood of the Maple family.

The problem is that the joints of rubberwood seats are just not nearly because strong in the long term as those of beechwood made seats. Regular PVA glues are a lot less effective on rubberwood joints than on beechwood and lots of Malaysian manufacturers of rubberwood seats give their chairs with unglued joints, relying on threaded inserts using flat headed bolts to secure the joints.

Rubberwood is an excellent choice for bistro table or pub table tops and frames but, as the qualities of rubberwood are perfect for this application.
