Skateboard Wall Tiles are Flipped for Exciting New Table and Surface Designs

/

Several of SkateOrDesign’s recycled skateboard wall tile styles have been flipped and applied to table top and counter surfaces in order to create exciting new sustainable surface options. “Well, maybe they were not “flipped” exactly” cautioned SkateOrDesign designer, Jason Podlaski, “but they certainly were rotated 90° from a vertical to a horizontal orientation.”

A large table is shown at a diagnol angle across image. The table frame is black painted square steel tubing. The design of the frame is modern, clean and minimal. The table top is constructed of multicolored tiles made from recycled skateboards.

Tile designs such as the Skate Hex Tile and Skateboard Subway Tile can be used on a surface and the surface texture can be modified by changing the scale of the tile. Due to the contours of the skateboard material, our table tops are rarely dead flat, instead they feature a slight scalloped effect across the surface that varies based on the tile size used. For larger size tiles, like our 7” Split Hex, the scalloped “waves” on the surface are at a 3 1/2” width and about a 3/32” height differential from the highest to lowest points on the surface. By using smaller tile sizes, like our 4” Split Hex Tile, the height differential can be greatly reduced and result is a much flatter surface overall. You can see this illustrated in the images below.

This custom countertop / Housing for a large back bar refrigerator at a restaurant in Philadelphia uses small scale 4” Split Hex tiles for the top surface. The small scale tiles lay very flat and can be made completely flat by coating with epoxy.

A new table edge option is also now available. In addition to our original knife edge design or edging with a molding material such as reclaimed wood, we now offer a wrapped edge detail in which the top surface can mitered and seamlessly wrapped around the side to create a squared edge detail that can be 1” to several inches.
