10 Tips to maintain your billiard table

Level billiards

When you buy a billiard or pool table, there are a number of things that you can take into account for an optimal billiard experience.

• Have your new billiard table installed by one of our professional billiard fitters. They specialize in assembling and preparing billiards for play. This way you can be sure that your billiards table is perfectly assembled and you can start playing immediately. Take contact contact us for the possibilities
• Make sure the billiard table is level. You can do this by turning the adjustable feet. You can do this alone, but with 2 people it is just that little bit easier.
  In general, the billiard remains level, but you can always check this later and adjust it if necessary.
• A heater can sometimes be placed under carom billiard tables with a slate playing field. Such a billiard heater is intended to remove the moisture from the slate plate. This gives less resistance to the billiard balls, so that they roll faster over the playing field. The temperature of the heating under the billiards can already be set at 2 to 3 degrees above the room temperature, but is usually set at 30 degrees.

How do you clean billiard balls?

• Try to keep your table as clean as possible. It is not possible to get stains out of the sheet. Never use a moist cleaning agent, such as cleaning vinegar, on the cloth of your billiard table.
• Over time, imperfections may appear in the slate of your billiards or pool table. No problem, these imperfections can be filled and polished. Have this done by a specialist for the smoothest possible result.
• The billiard cloth can also be replaced. To prevent color differences, the specialist will immediately re-stretch the sheet and the bumpers. These rubber bumpers themselves (almost) never need to be replaced. They last no less than 15 years and sometimes even longer.
