A table on the terrace or in the garden, in the same calm, mineral finish as indoors. Is that possible with Mortex? Yes, as long as you choose the right version. Here is how it works.

Yes, in an outdoor version
For terraces and gardens we make tables in an outdoor version, with special varnishes and extra protective top coats. That makes your Mortex table winterproof, so it can really stay outside, even when it freezes or rains.
You cannot see the difference. An outdoor table has the same seamless skin, the same matt finish and the same 96 colours as an indoor table. The photo shows a Danish oval table in BM09 Imperial Intense on a terrace.

So a table without the outdoor version should not go outside, not even for one summer. If you think your table may one day move outdoors, mention it straight away in your request.
Outdoor care
Outside, a table has more to cope with than indoors: rain, dust, leaves, pollen and birds. A few habits keep your table looking good:
Brush off dirt and leaves, especially in autumn.
Do not leave water standing on the top. After a shower, give it a quick wipe with a soft cloth.
Cover the table when you are not using it for a while, for example in winter or when you go away.
Outdoors too: a trivet under a hot pan or a dish from the barbecue, and no acidic or aggressive products.
You get a care sheet with your delivery. Everyday care is also covered in Caring for a Mortex table.
Which shape for outdoors?
Every shape is available in the outdoor version: round, oval, Danish, Finnish or Swedish oval, rectangular or organic. A round table is compact and sociable for four on a small terrace. An oval table gives more space without sharp corners, which helps when children run around the table. Take a look at the Danish oval table, the one on the terrace in the photo.
Measure the space around the table too: between the edge and a wall or the edge of the terrace, allow a good stride, so chairs can be pushed back.
And choose your colour from a real sample that you look at outside, in the daylight on your terrace. A colour looks different in full sun than in your living room. With colour samples at home you simply place it where the table will stand.
Price and delivery
A Danish oval table of 240 x 110 cm has an indoor guide price of €3,199, VAT included. The price of the outdoor version is in your quote, which you get within 3 hours on working days if your request arrives before 18:00.
We deliver and place your table ourselves: we level it and take the packaging away. If the way to your terrace or garden is narrow, with steps or a garden path, send us a few photos so we can prepare the delivery properly.
How to ask for it
Mention in your request that the table will stand outside. Your quote will then show the table in the outdoor version, and after your quote we make the technical drawing for free. If it is for a special spot, such as right next to a pool or by the sea, tell us beforehand and we will look at it together.
