Where to buy crystal clear PVC tablecloth cover?

senteacher · 06-12-2014 09:00PM #1

Hi,

Am wondering where I might be able to quickly source a crystal clear PVC tablecloth cover? I have failed to find any in Ireland - either in a materials' shop, or in an online shop. I tried quite a few UK online stores, and two major US ones and one French one - but they are not delivering to Irish customers, contrary to their promises.

Any further suggestions? Has anyone spotted them anywhere?

I don't want to go as far as Asia because I need this thing to arrive a week before Christmas.

Cut out a section out of a poly tunnel.

Not the really good transparent ones that you can see right through, no.

Have you tried Guineys? They do tablelcoths, not sure if they have what you want, but worth a try. Also Arnotts do tablecloths.

Not your typical AH thread, to be fair

don't know your size table, but if it's for xmas this is nice http://www.ebay.ie/itm/TRANSPARENT-GOLD-STARS-COVER-XMAS-VINYL-WIPE-CLEAN-TABLECLOTH-CO-click-for-sizes-/231360092381?pt=UK_HG_Crockery_RL&var=530622559754&hash=item35de22d8dd

Of course that's stars and not completely clear.

I haven't seen a PVC tablecloth since my granny died.

dmc17 · 06-12-2014 09:17PM

Are these the ones?

A coffin is usually the norm round here for laying out people rather than the kitchen table.

TBP · 06-12-2014 09:20PM

Why don't you just cling film the table?

Imagine how cool that would be to impress strangers with. .

'So what do you do for a living?'

'I run an online tablecloth shop'

Couldn't afford a coffin?

Edit:

Beaten to it by Kevin McCloud. That dude has grand designs about himself.

It could lead to some riveting conversation alright.

Na, she had it on her table like, it had all types of fruit bowls and stuff in the design. That was thirty odd years ago, thought they went out with wainscotting and three ducks flying up the wall.

Don't know the right name for it, it's what it was called around here, you know the wooden panelling that went half way up the wall in the old houses? I'm sure you remember!

I saw it history books

I'm confused as to why anyone wants a see through table cloth though.
The table can still be seen.

Might be for a picnic on a glass bottomed boat.

Of course! Why didn't I think of that?

McGregor Plastics on Sth William St in Dublin.

I used get clear plastic tablecloths to cover the rather nice tablecloths that I had been given, when I had young children.

Maybe the OP has a similar reason.

PS Wainscotting is lovely! Were you thinking of antimacassars?

Chucken · 06-12-2014 10:00PM

I didnt even know those things had a name. My Nana used to call them 'The Lace'

Ha, like babushka dolls only for tables!

Is it really a thing? I thought I made that word up. Yeah, like half way up with a bit of moulded trim and then some woefully morbid wallpaper above?

JuliusCaesar · 06-12-2014 10:03PM

Yeah, well, children are really good at destroying nice things! And the table was horrible.

Have another look at wainscotting and report back!

Kevin McCloud · 06-12-2014 10:03PM

Wouldn't a glass table be a better long term solution, plenty there on dungdeal.
