How much space do I need to place a billiard table?
This depends on which type of billiard you want to play and the size and layout of the room where the billiard should be placed. Outside dimensions of the table do not play a role here, as a reference we start from the dimensions of the playing field and here you can add 1m20 - 1m40 for the use of the cue. If playing with a long cue is inconvenient at a certain place, we provide choices with different lengths so that you can always play optimally. When in doubt about which size to choose, please contact us.

How do I maintain the balls and choice?
The balls and choice can be maintained in an easy way. The balls can be easily cleaned using a soft cloth with a special cleaning product. To remove chalk residue and impurities from the tip of the cue, an abrasive sponge can be used. This also makes the cue smoother, making it easier to play. These maintenance products can be found on our web shop or in the store. You can also contact us for the installation of a new cue tip or other repairs.

How do I maintain the sheet?
Over time, your cloth will show signs of use. Already after the first few games of billiards, you will notice small white spots on the cloth. These are caused by the friction between the ball and the cloth, causing a small white burn mark to appear. This is perfectly normal and cannot be avoided. To remove chalk residue and dust, we recommend brushing the sheet regularly and removing the loosened dirt with a vacuum cleaner. For this purpose, it is best to use a vacuum cleaner mouth as used for vacuuming sofas or seats. If the cloth is exposed to direct sunlight, the color may fade. We recommend always covering the billiard table when not being played on. This can be done with a cover plate if you use the billiard as a dining table or with a cover sheet.
Can I have my sheet replaced?
A worn sheet or a sheet damaged by a clumsy billiard stroke can be replaced at any time. Here you can always choose the color and type of sheet. The cloth of the playfield is replaced together with the cloth applied to the rubber bumpers. After a long period of time the rubber bumper strips lose their elasticity, which makes them harder and uncomfortable to play. The bumpers can also be replaced at any time if necessary.
Can a billiard table be placed in a basement or upstairs?
Installing a billiard table upstairs or in a basement is usually possible. Every situation is different and it is important that we are informed as well as possible by means of pictures and dimensions of windows, doors, staircase, ... This way, we can estimate whether the table must be delivered disassembled or not. Because of the weight of the billiard tables, placement on the first floor is not obvious. To keep this physically feasible and affordable, we ask the customer to provide help on site from at least 3 people. When a crane, forklift or furniture elevator is needed for a delivery, it will be provided by the customer at a local company.
