Outdoor Table — Ceramic, Weather-Resistant & Custom-Made
An outdoor table is the heart of your outdoor space.

At Industrial Home, we deliberately choose ceramic outdoor tables on a robust steel base. This is no coincidence: ceramic is the best material for outdoors. Weather-resistant, low-maintenance, timelessly beautiful. Ceramic tabletops fit perfectly into a slow living interior: durable, maintenance-free, and timelessly beautiful — materials that last for generations.
Discover our range of ceramic outdoor tables — available in round, rectangular, and oval shapes, and fully customizable via our 3D configurator.
Why Ceramic is the Best Choice for Outdoors
Ceramic is naturally made for extreme conditions. The material is fired at over 1,200 °C, making it incredibly hard, dense, and resistant to everything the Dutch weather has to offer.
- UV-resistant: Ceramic does not fade in the sun. The color remains intact year after year, without yellowing or discoloration.
- Frost-resistant: Temperatures below freezing? No problem. Ceramic does not absorb moisture and will not crack when frozen.
- Heat-resistant: A hot pan directly from the barbecue onto the tabletop? Ceramic tolerates high temperatures without burning or discoloration.
- Rain-resistant: The non-porous surface does not allow water to penetrate. No mold, moss, or stains form due to humidity.
- Zero maintenance: Cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient. No oils, impregnating agents, or special cleaning products are needed.
- Scratch-resistant: The glazed surface has a hardness of 7+ on the Mohs scale — cutlery, glasses, and dinnerware will not leave scratches.
In short: a ceramic outdoor table from Industrial Home will last for decades without significant deterioration. That is sustainability in the true sense of the word.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ceramic Outdoor Tables
Is ceramic suitable for outdoors?
Yes, absolutely. Ceramic is one of the most weather-resistant materials for outdoor furniture. It is UV-resistant (does not discolor in the sun), frost-resistant (does not absorb moisture and does not crack), heat-resistant, and completely rain-resistant. Our ceramic outdoor tables are specifically selected for quality classes suitable for year-round outdoor use.
How much maintenance does a ceramic outdoor table need?
Virtually none. Cleaning a ceramic outdoor table is done with a damp cloth and possibly a mild soap solution. No oils, impregnating agents, or abrasive cleaners are needed. The non-porous surface prevents stains from coffee, wine, or food from soaking in. This is one of the biggest advantages over other materials.
What is the advantage of a round outdoor table?
A round outdoor table has no sharp corners, which is safer for children and provides more freedom of movement on a terrace. Due to its round shape, there is no "bad" seat at the table — everyone sits equally close, and conversation flows more naturally. Ideal for a cozy outdoor meal with friends or family. A round outdoor table also looks particularly elegant on a small terrace or patio.
Can I order a custom outdoor table?
Certainly. Industrial Home offers full customization options. Through our 3D configurator, you can easily design your own outdoor table — from exact dimensions to the color of the ceramic and the base. Do you have an unusual size or a special request? Contact us, and we will provide a custom quote. Custom outdoor tables are usually delivered within 4-6 weeks.
Is a ceramic outdoor table frost-resistant?
Yes. High-quality outdoor ceramic has a moisture absorption of less than 0.5 percent (technical standard for frost resistance). This means that virtually no water penetrates the material, so nothing can expand or crack when frozen. Our ceramic outdoor tables are suitable for use in all Dutch seasons, including harsh winters.

Outdoor Table as the Centerpiece of Your Outdoor Space
An outdoor table is more than just a practical piece of furniture — it is the heart of your terrace or garden. Around a beautiful outdoor table, family and friends gather for long summer evenings, breakfast in the sun, or cozy BBQ sessions. Therefore, choose an outdoor table that not only looks beautiful but also lasts for years despite changing weather conditions. Ceramic with a steel base is the wisest choice: the material does not discolor, does not flake, and does not need to be treated every season. You simply enjoy it — year after year.
At Industrial Home, you can completely customize your outdoor table to your wishes. Choose the shape that suits your terrace — a round outdoor table for a compact outdoor space, a rectangular one for large terraces with many guests, or an oval one as an intermediate solution. Feel free to send your own drawing or sketch; we will make it to measure for you.

Frequently asked questions
Which material is most suitable for an outdoor table?
Teak (most durable wood for outdoors), aluminum (lightweight, rust-free), ceramic on an aluminum frame (low maintenance). Avoid solid wood without UV treatment.
How do I maintain a teak outdoor table?
Apply teak oil once a year to maintain color. Without maintenance, teak will turn gray — this is normal and does not affect strength.
How big should an outdoor table be for 6 people?
At least 180×90 cm — more space is needed outdoors than indoors. Allow 70 cm width per person.
How do I protect an outdoor table in winter?
Use a waterproof furniture cover. Clean before storage: dirt + moisture + frost is the most destructive combination for garden furniture.
Is a ceramic outdoor table suitable for outdoors?
Yes — with an aluminum or stainless steel base. Cover in winter during frost — extreme temperature changes can cause ceramic to crack.
