Cloth Options And Recovers

When you come to order a snooker or pool table or if you're looking to have an existing table recovered, you'll be given the option of picking out the cloth type and colour to suit your preferences. We use two main options on our snooker and pool tables - the Hainsworth SMART snooker and pool cloth, and the Hainsworth ELITE-PRO cloth. 

Both ranges have over 20 colours to choose from, all of which offer durable and fade resistent performance, with a smooth finish for uninterrupted play. Find out more about both rangse, and about our custom pool table cloth options by taking a look at our Cloth Options and Recovers guide.
