Ceramic & Glass Outdoor Dining Tables
A ceramic outdoor dining table is the hardest wearing table you can put outside. Ceramic tops, also called sintered stone, resist heat, scratching and UV, so the surface keeps its colour and finish through Australian summers rather than fading or chalking the way a painted or timber top eventually does. The look is stone, the weight is manageable, and the maintenance is close to nothing.
Toughened glass is the lighter alternative. It gives a classic, more transparent feel that suits smaller balconies and courtyards where a solid stone top would visually fill the space. Both ceramic and glass tops in this range sit on weatherproof aluminium or resin frames built for the Australian outdoors.
Ceramic or glass, and how to choose
Choose ceramic if the table lives in full sun, if it will take hot dishes straight from the barbecue, or if it is going into a venue where the surface gets wiped down many times a day. Sintered stone is the most forgiving surface here and it does not stain from red wine or sunscreen.
Choose toughened glass if you want a lighter look, a smaller footprint, or a more traditional outdoor setting. Glass shows water marks more readily than ceramic but wipes clean instantly.
Sizing an outdoor dining table
Round tables seat conversation better and remove the corners that make a small courtyard feel tight. A 120cm round comfortably seats four to six depending on the chair. Rectangular tops suit longer, narrower spaces and dining runs where seating along the sides matters more than everyone facing each other.
Allow roughly 60cm of table edge per person and at least 75cm of clear space behind each chair so people can get in and out without moving the table. In a venue, check that against your walkway requirements before you commit to a size.
What is in this range
The Bahza round ceramic tables come in 120cm round in white, black and ceramic finishes. The Roma rope outdoor coffee tables cover round and rectangular in Light Grey and Pebble. Pebl Tolo aluminium designs complete the range where a matched setting is wanted rather than a table on its own.
If you want the table and chairs together rather than separately, the matched settings are in our ceramic outdoor dining sets. If you are furnishing a venue or buying several, talk to us before you order, because we price settings and multiples differently to single pieces.
Built for how they actually get used
Our range suits venues and homes wanting a designer outdoor table that stands up to real use. Chosen well, a ceramic or glass table sets the tone of the whole outdoor area while standing up to daily use and the Australian weather.
Ceramic & Glass Outdoor Table - FAQs
-
Ceramic or glass outdoor table top — which is better?
Ceramic (sintered stone) tops are more durable — highly heat-, scratch- and UV-resistant with a premium stone look — and suit heavy or commercial use. Toughened glass is lighter and classic with an easy-clean surface, but shows marks more readily. Choose ceramic for durability, glass for a lighter look.
-
Are ceramic outdoor tables durable?
Yes — ceramic (sintered stone) is non-porous and highly resistant to heat, scratches, stains and UV fading, which makes it one of the toughest outdoor table surfaces available and well suited to venues and year-round use.
-
Is the glass safe and strong?
Quality outdoor glass tables use toughened (tempered) safety glass, which is far stronger than standard glass and designed to resist knocks. Confirm the table uses safety-rated toughened glass, especially for commercial settings.
-
What frame should a ceramic or glass table have?
Look for a powder-coated aluminium or UV-stabilised resin frame that resists rust and fading and keeps a heavy top stable and level. The frame is as important as the top for outdoor longevity.
-
Can these tables stay outside year-round?
Yes — ceramic and glass tops on weatherproof frames are made for year-round outdoor use. Ceramic in particular is very low-maintenance; covering the table out of season further protects the frame and any fittings.
-
Are ceramic and glass tables suitable for commercial venues?
Ceramic tops are especially well suited to venues thanks to their heat and scratch resistance and easy cleaning. For any commercial use, choose a robust frame and confirm the table is rated for daily service.
-
How do I clean a ceramic or glass outdoor table?
Both wipe clean easily — ceramic resists staining and heat marks and needs only mild detergent, while glass cleans quickly but shows smears and marks more readily. Neither needs sealing like natural stone.
