Indoor Pool
Tables
A
slate billiard table is considered the highest quality material.
Escalade Sports
over 25 years ago developed a wood based material, Slatron, as a
substitute for slate which has proven
to be a very reliable material over the years.
|
Non
slate pool tables
Our slatron tables are able to be bought at a discount
pool table price because the material and shipping are more economical
than a slate billiard table. |
Types
of slate used on pool tables.
Our slate billiard tables come in either ¾ or one inch thickness.
A one inch slate pool table is, because of the extra slate, more durable
than a ¾ inch slate pool table |
