FAQ

How much space is needed for a billiards table ?

It all depends on the size of your room. Depending on the size of your room, you can choose the size of billiard table which suits you best. Our billiards tables are available in sizes 190 cm, 210 cm, 220 cm, 240 cm, 260 cm, 280 cm, and 310 cm. You must allow for roughly 1.2 m around the table so that players can freely swing their cues on the back stroke. For more information, click here or contact us !

Can another piece of furniture obstruct my table ?

It is best to have as much unobstructed space around the table as possible. However, a piece of furniture with a maximum height of 1.4 m is not at all obstructive to the game.

Can you install a billiard table next to a fireplace ?

We would advise you to choose a metal-framed billiards table (e.g., the Classic, Contemporary, or Heritage collection) which retains perfect flatness over time. With this metal frame, even beside an intense heat source, your billiards table will not warp !

Is the cover likely to fade in the sun ?

Leaving your billiards table next to a window, on a veranda, and so on — that is, in direct sunlight — can cause the cloth to fade. We would advise you to protect it with a slipcover.

You offer a choice of more than 27 colors. Are certain covers more delicate, or do certain colors get dirtier ?

All our cloths are of Simonis competition quality, with reference numbers 760/920 or IS300. No one color gets dirtier than another. It is all down to a question of taste !

How long will it take for me to receive my billiard table ?

You must allow for two to three months. We have no stock in our workshops; everything is custom-made for each client. This privilege requires a little bit of patience !

Does the table leaf (to transform my billiard table into a dinner table) come in several parts ?

Yes, both our glass and wooden leaves have two parts for billiard table sizes 190, 210, 220, and 240, and in three parts for bigger sizes.

Where should I put the leaves when I want to play billiards ?

You can quite simply lean them against a wall or opt for a support plate, available in colors to match your table. It is very practical and modern, and will fit in perfectly with your interior design.

Is it possible to install a billiards table on a surface that is not flat ?

It is preferable to have a surface as flat as possible, but it is not necessary. A system of leveling cylinders under each foot allows you to get a perfect flatness no matter the stability of the surface. On the day of the installation of your billiard table, our Toulet technician will make sure you have perfect flatness for flawless game quality.

How will my billiards table be delivered ? Will it be installed ?

All our metal frame billiards tables are delivered and installed (in metropolitan France). A Toulet technician, who will have helped create your billiards table, will come to deliver and install it. When you order your billiards table, please state if it will be delivered to a floor above ground level or if there are passage constraints (such as small doors).
