Aristocrat Billiards - Construction Process

Construction Process:

Aristocrat Billiards have set rigorous quality control standards in our manufacturing process, and our experienced staff demand a high standard from our suppliers of cloth, slate, leather, brass and hand selected hardwood timbers that will make your quality billiard table.

All of our tables meet world rules specifications for the truest and most accurate play.

Before you purchase a billiard table, we recommend that you ensure all components such as the frame, sub-frame, legs and the rails are made from solid hardwood are not made from MDF (Medium Density Fibre) with a laminate or plyboard veneer. MDF tables may have the look of solid hardwood, but they are a cheap substitute and this process is never used in quality billiard table or furniture construction.

Rails /cushions:
Solid hardwood make up every part of our rails and hardwood is used in conjunction with quality rubber to make our cushions so the design and components deliver optimal ball response.

Our hardwood rails provide solid resistance to the ball and allow for precise cushion energy transference.

No nails or screws are used in our rail assembly process, only our 'aristocrat' lock system and glue is used.

We use old tradition billiard table making techniques for cloth assembly to the rails.

Frame:
We pre-assemble our frame, which means that they have been levelled and squared in our factory. No laminate, MDF or veneer finishes are used in our frames, cushions or legs, everything seen and unseen is hardwood.

Our table frame construction consists of full frame depth cross member timbers and dove tail joints, this ensures structural integrity and in the middle of the frame we use tongue and groove systems for triangular timber that support the legs.

In addition our frame timbers have been stain sealed on the end grain, inside and outside to keep the timber from absorbing or losing moisture, thus making it less resistant to cracking. Sealer applied to the underside of the frame and all other timber components will prevent this shifting due to humidity fluctuations in different weather seasons.
