Sample Requests

As computer monitors and mobile devices may not display an accurate view of a made to order item, we highly recommend requesting a sample from us.

Sample Furniture

Furniture ordered as a sample 

Nobis strongly recommend that all cleaning products which contain the following are not used on any product from the Nobis tabletop range:

  • Abrasive
  • Ammonia
  • Bleach
  • Spirit
  • Any aggressive constituent, this also includes D10 sanitizers.

Please note that our product guarantee does not cover damage caused by the use of such cleaning products.

We recommend that no cleaning products are to be used for cleaning Solid or Veneered Tabletops. On such products we would recommend the use of a warm, damp and slightly soapy cloth to wipe over. Do not use any spray cleaners as they can damage the protection of the lacquer finish. Do not use wax, as a build-up can occur and spoil the appearance of the finish.

Once such products have been manufactured and installed, we advise that extra care is taken as the lacquer can take several days to become heatproof; and up to two weeks to become fully cured. For this reason, we advise that all hot objects are to be placed on mats rather than the bare surface of the chosen table top.

If upon delivery our Solid wood and Veneered products are to be put into storage, the environment they are to be stored in needs to be considered, especially during winter months. All products should be stored in temperatures of between 10-250C, with the faces of the tops not exposed. We recommend wrapping in a warm blanket, and if possible, cover completely with plastic wrap or clingfilm.

Laminate & Tuff Top MFC Tabletops

Simply wipe your Laminate or Tuff Top surface with a damp cloth soaked soapy water, then clean wet containing no soap to remove any residue, before finally drying cotton paper towel. Simply wipe your Laminate or Tuff Top surface with a damp cloth soaked soapy water, then clean wet containing no soap to remove any residue, before finally drying cotton paper towel.

For stubborn marks, a careful application of non-abrasive cleaning solution can be used, but we recommend you test concealed area first where possible.
For stubborn marks, follow these steps:

  1. Spray the surface with a power all purpose cleaner or grease cleaner.
  2. Allow the cleaner to work for a maximum of 5 minutes.
  3. Take up/wipe off cleaner with a wet sponge cloth, rinse the cloth well clear water several times.
  4. Afterwards, the cleaned surface should be re-with a clean sponge cloth and warm water to remove all residues of cleaning agent achieve result free streaks shading.
  5. Finally, wipe the cleaned area dry with a clean cotton or paper towel.
  6. Depending on the result, cleaning steps 1 – 5 can be repeated
ABS Edging

ABS edgings are easy to clean with a damp cloth soaked with soapy water, then wipe with a clean wet cloth containing no soap to remove any soap residue, before finally drying with a clean cotton or paper towel. For more stubborn marks use a commercially available cleaning agent that is suitable for plastic surfaces. To be safe, the suitability of the cleaner should be tested before use where possible.

Compact Laminates – HPL

HPL tabletops are easy to clean with a damp cloth soaked with soapy water, then wipe with a clean wet cloth containing no soap to remove any soap residue, before finally drying with a clean cotton or paper towel. For more stubborn stains or marks, home type non-alkaline cleaners can be used.

Werzalit

Over 99.7% of bacteria are eliminated with a simple cleaning water and / or soap on the Werzalit range tops. For more stubborn stains you can introduce an alcohol based solvent, but ensure not to clean using any abrasives

Cast Iron
We suggest you clean your cast iron table base as soon as possible after it gets dirty. Removing dirt immediately will greatly increase the products longevity. You can use a sponge or a clean cloth to clean the product, but do not scrub it or use any abrasive cleaners. If you apply water when cleaning, dry it well immediately after cleaning
Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel finishes require regular cleaning to keep them looking new. If Stainless Steel plating becomes rusty or dark over time, there are a few quick tricks to cleaning them up, so they look like new:

Wipe Down
Be sure to wipe down the Stainless-Steel part of your table base on a daily basis with a clean cloth. This keeps dust from building up and catches spills. If something does spill on the Stainless Steel, make sure to wipe it up immediately to cut down on the possibility of corrosion and staining. You can use a clean cloth with warm, soapy water to clean Stainless Steel everyday.

Removing Corrosion
If you are cleaning up Stainless Steel in an area that has been neglected for long periods of time, you can easily remove corrosion and clean up dark spots. Aluminium foil crumpled up into a ball and dipped in water can be rubbed against the corrosion to remove it in short time. Make sure the shiny side is up on the Aluminium. The dark spots on Chrome can easily be brightened up with an application of alcohol or vinegar

Polishing Stainless Steel
After cleaning the Stainless Steel and removing corrosion and dark spots; you have to move on to polishing it to get that nice high sheen and reflective surface. Use a clean cloth, preferably cotton or microfibre material, and one of the following products: Baby Oil or WD-40

Aluminium
There are 4 material groups that are in the Nobis standard range of stones which have different geological backgrounds and different mineral contents as a result:
  • Granites are volcanic magma formed inside the Earth’s core and shunted through the Earth’s crust. It is a very dense material which weighs about 10% more than marble for the same size and thickness.
  • Marbles are a recrystallized limestone.
  • Manufactured Quartz- Quartz or Quarzite is the second most prolific mineral of this planet. The material is ground down to dust size particles and then glued back together, with a general make up of around 85-90% quartz, 7% glue and 3-8% pigments.
  • Terrazzo and Agglomerates consist of a cement or resin mix. Terrazzo contains small marble chippings within this, whereas agglomerates contain larger marble chippings. These materials behave like marbles as they are less dense than granite and slightly porous.
There are 3 different types of marking you could incur:
  • Scratching- Compared to wood, stone is a much harder material to scratch but this can occur. Generally the worst items to cause this are items with unglazed bottoms and sharp edges.
  • Staining- This usually occurs when tea or coffee pots are put directly on a top- place mats can be used as a solution to this. When a pot pours badly, the liquid runs down the spout and collects at the bottom of the pot. When this is then placed on the stone, the brown liquid is trapped under the hot pot. The law of physics states that liquids are driven away from heat, therefore they will overcome the sealant and light staining will occur.
  • Etching- This is a reaction between the acid in liquids we consume such as colas, wine, citrus juices, vinegar-based sauces and calcium, which is the main mineral content within marble and limestone. The acid mattes the polish level of the material which can be seen as rings from wine glasses, bottles etc.
    • Granite and Quartz do not have calcium content therefore do not etch.
Cleaning:
  • Hot soapy water- Effective and easy to use.
  • Biocide Cleaners- These are great at killing bacteria but may leave a smeary finish.
  • White Spirit- A very good release agent and will remove stubborn marks.
Sealants:
  • Sealants work by clogging the pores of the stone. This helps to prevent the marble from absorbing liquids and help stop colours getting into the stone by extending the period of time to clean up a spillage. It is NOT a surface coating and will not prevent etching.
  • Over a period of time, tops develop a ‘patina’ from etching. Dark marbles show this the most and this possibility should be discussed with clients as we can offer granite or manufactured quartz with a similar look should this be an issue.
Care of Solid Marble

Taking just a few precautions; like routine sealing; with your marble will mitigate and sometimes eliminate any problems whatsoever

  • Wipe anything that spills on marble as soon as possible to avoid the chance of staining
  • Use coasters under glasses or bottles
  • use mats or trivets to place hot items on marble
  • Follow a daily and periodic cleaning routine
  • Use clean clothes each time. Ensure usage of soft clothes
  • Change cleaning water frequently during cleaning
  • Always rinse using clean, warm water
  • Always follow the directions on your cleaner and avoid mixing chemicals unless specified
  • Abrasives can cause scratches and lessen the life of the marble
  • Avoid using chemical cleaners, acids like vinegar and lime juice, grout cleaners, tub or tile cleaners. They will etch or dull the stone
