Why Choose Cast Iron for Your Table Base?
When most people hear the words “cast iron,” they’re probably thinking about skillets or cookware.
However, the casting process is used by several industries for a variety of purposes. All of our JCS Casting Co.’s products are our cast iron table bases and legs. There are a wide range of advantages to using cast iron for your table needs. In this post, we will cover the top 3 reasons why you should cast iron for your next DIY table.
Benefits of Cast Iron
#1: Cast iron has good wear resistance (especially against corrosion) and can support heavy loads. You don’t have to worry about placing one of our tables outside, as the material will hold up in all weather conditions. Using proper cleaning methods will make your table legs look new for years on end and prevent rusting. Cast iron is a strong and tough material, and therefore our products are made to last.
#2: Cast iron also has up to five times the compression strength compared to steel, and has excellent anti-vibration (or damping) properties. Cast iron won’t crack or dent like other solid surfaces or stainless steel. No matter where you live, our table bases and legs will remain sturdy during hurricanes, earthquakes, and more.
#3: Cast iron tables are beautiful and stylish. While they have more of a rustic or industrial feel, cast iron table bases are timeless and can complement any table style from a traditional, farmhouse, industrial to modern style, and anything in between!
Deciding to purchase a cast iron product from JCS Casting Co. is a worthwhile investment.
They’re durable, strong, and their excellent craftsmanship will make them a beautiful piece in your home.
