Whether you're a passionate pool player or a designer crafting the perfect game room, understanding how weather and climate affect your billiard table is crucial. Environmental factors like humidity-induced warping and temperature-triggered felt issues can impact your table's performance and longevity. High heat stretches the felt, while cold makes the wood brittle. Keep the temperature between 68°F and 74°F to prevent these issues. Humidity also affects the table; excess moisture dampens the felt, and dry conditions cause wood to crack. Maintain humidity levels between 40-60% for optimal performance.
Humidity and extreme temperatures are your table’s worst enemies. Besides them, sunlight can cause significant damage over time. Direct sunlight can fade the felt and cause the wood to dry out and crack. If you have an MDF table, humidity will warp the playing surface quickly and can warp the wood frame as well. Consider using dehumidifiers in high-humidity areas and portable A/C units or heaters to maintain a consistent climate in your game room. Additionally, use curtains or blinds to block direct sunlight and consider UV-protective window films to minimize sun damage.
