Hybrid rails
The Gabriels Imperator Match tables are equipped with the Gabriels Hybrid Rail System. This is an unique comniation af materials: a aluminium profile with a Dianite cover and finished with Kleber P37 rubbers. This combination makes the rails very consistent and provides a perfect rebound time after time.
Rail finish
Rails for all models are available in an engineered wood/plastic composite: Dianite. The material is made of laminated wood, compressed with phenolic resin, the same resin that is used to produce the famous Aramith balls. Exceptional hardness and resilience makes it extremely resistant to unusual wear, abrasion and moisture. A perfect solution for commercial environments.
Slates
Slate is the foundation of every table; the table is designed and built around it. Because they are so important to the final product, Gabriels uses only selected slates. All our slates are processed with “FST” (flat surface technology). This exclusive technology developed by Gabriels uses the most modern measurement systems to insure that slates have the flatness required at delivery and will remain stable for years to come.
Cushions
Gabriels uses Artemis cushions (K66 profile) on their pool tables and Kleber cushions (P37 profile) on their carom tables. The positioning of the cushions is essential for the ultimate performance of the table. Every cushion is measured and re-checked by at least two technicians to avoid any mistakes possible.
Heating system
All carom tables are equipped with an electronically controlled heating system. This system is fully programmable and available for 110, 125 or 220 volts systems.
Finish
Each table has a six-step finish; one coat of penetrating stain, three coats of sealer and two finishing coats of polyurethane lacquer. Gabriels tables are finished in full compliance with all CE air quality standards.
Brass levelers and I-beams
Solid brass levelers are not only beautiful, but make for easy leveling of the table and are resistant to corrosion.
Gabriels uses massive 10cm x 10cm steel I-beams to make the frame for the Imperator and Imperator Classic carom tables. This insures stability for the 60mm slates.
Hardware
Gabriels uses machined hardware; these retain their rigidity after repeated reassembly.
Cloth
Gabriels uses Simonis cloth, as they are the ultimate and most experienced manufacturers in their field. Simonis makes the highest quality cloth in the world.
Pocket liners
Gabriels pocket liners are flush with the rails, making shooting over a pocket as easy as shooting off the rail. The high quality liner material will not mark the balls or cues. We guarantee the pockets for tree years in commercial use. Size, corner cut and drop point meet or exceed all BCA specifications.
Pockets
Newly designed marine grade vinyl pockets that have been developed for easy installation and durability.
U-beams
Gabriels uses massive 10cm x 5cm steel U-beams to make the frame for the Signature Pro pool tables. This insures stability for the
30 mm slates.
Reliability
Gabriels is the first table manufacturer to install high-speed routers. We use CAD-CAM systems in order to provide parts that are exactly the same time after time.
