Care & Maintenance

• Graphics can be washed in a regular washing machine at 30°C without detergents — allow to dry completely before storing
• Remove graphics during adverse weather including winds exceeding Beaufort Scale 4 (13-18mph)
• Air pollution may cause white areas to grey over time — UV exposure can cause gradual fading
• Realistic maximum lifespan of a regularly used graphic is one year
• When moving units, always disconnect crossbars from posts first — carrying assembled units by the crossbars may break the crossbar latches and is not covered under warranty
• Please note: hardware and graphics may be dispatched separately

Frequently Asked Questions

The Economy Café Barrier features powder-coated black steel posts and a 1360mm wide graphic, making it the more affordable option. The Deluxe Café Barrier features premium chrome stainless steel posts and is available in 1360mm and 1860mm graphic widths for a more premium finish. Both use high-quality Display Polyester graphics with dye-sublimation printing.

Yes — there is no additional charge for more than one design or artwork file, regardless of how many kits you are ordering or whether you choose single-sided or double-sided graphics.

Single-sided graphics display your design on one face of the barrier, secured with a pole pocket at the top and spring clips at the bottom corners. Double-sided graphics have a blockout lining to prevent light show-through and display your design on both sides with no visible horizontal stitching. Double-sided is the better option where the barrier will be viewed from both sides.

Each post collar allows the connection of up to four rails, meaning barriers can be joined at right angles or at narrower angles to create flexible layouts. Full kits and extension kits can be combined to create runs of any length.

The realistic maximum lifespan of a regularly used café barrier graphic is one year, depending on climatic conditions and hours of use. Proper care — including washing, drying before storage and removing during adverse weather — will help extend the life of your graphics.

Not always — due to stocking and logistics, the café barrier hardware may be dispatched separately to the graphics. Both will be delivered to your specified address.
