Why A Zinc Table Is Addition In An Industrial Interior Designed Kitchen

By Carol Edwards


Industrial contemporary interior design has been in trend for the past two years now. There is good sense to this type of interior especially when one lives in the metropolis. This style is characterized by the usage of industrial materials and surfaces like brick, steel, wood and metal. The urban vibe of this kind of interior is a cross between the efficiency and comfort.

Furniture can bring a great impact in the overall theme of a room. Take a zinc table, for example. These tables are made out of a living alloy that can be easily found. Not only are these good for table tops but they also work with the counters and other surfaces. There is an unexpected elegance when using this material.

The alloy becomes more charming as time goes by. This is why people usually opt for this material because of the vintage effect that the patina causes. The surface reacts to lemon juice, fingerprints and other things that may come in contact with it and over time, develops as dark blue gray patina that most people like. This can take a long time though.

These tables are very versatile in matters of style. They can be used in industrial, contemporary and even modern themed rooms. The durability of this material make it an ideal choice for busy kitchens and restaurants. This makes it a staple for any kitchen or room. Initially this alloy was popularly used as bar tops during pre world war II.

Metals are one of the basic style elements in any urban interior. Because metal is low maintenance, they are at the top of the most efficient materials that can be used and easily found, which is the basic philosophy of industrial design. Other popular options are pewter, copper, bronze and stainless steel.

Zinc can easily make a flea market table look brand new. Refurbishing with this material can be done at home or by fabricators depending on preferences and customized specifications. The process is as easy as covering the top with the metal sheet, cut and pasting and then soldering.

Cleaning a zinc surface only needs a little mild soap and water. No harmful chemicals or special cleaners are needed. Wiping it down after usage is all it needs. Make sure not to use any bleach and other chemical abrasives and may cause damage to its surface.

Usage and maintenance are simple, too. These tables can handle sharp objects but unlike stainless steel, direct contact with a knife or a piercing object can leave an impression on the surface. In this case, always use a cutting board. This surface also has a melting point of 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Use hotplates and trivets to avoid problems and do not put hot pots and pans directly on the top.

Urban interiors have a certain charm using materials like reclaimed wood and the genuine beauty of exposed metal beams and construction materials. Naturally these elements are found in the building or rooms making. The chrome, black, metal and wood combination make zinc a perfect fit in this particular setting. Using zinc is versatile enough for the different aesthetics of modern, contemporary and even traditional interior design.
