Pool Table Cloth Buyer's Guide

Cloth Guide

Everything you need to know to make the perfect cloth choice for your pool table.

The choice of cloth can make the difference between a pool table in your home and a pool table that looks made for your home. So we have curated a collection of beautiful cloths, available on every table model, so that you have complete flexibility to create the table of your dreams. We've also developed our unique Table Builder so that once you have chosen a model you can experiment with different cabinet and cloth combinations to find the perfect look. Finally, we undertake most cloth fitting in-house so we retain complete control of the quality and finish of this most vital aspect of play.

Club Cloths from Kingswood

The Club range is a small collection of Strachan West of England Cloths in our most popular shades that combine with the cabinet finishes to stunning effect. Strachan cloth has been made in the West of England since 1890 and is a 100% pure new wool napped cloth, ideal for English pool and with a classic appearance, lustre and sheen. We feature green, black, blue, purple, and red in the club cloth range, supplied and fitted within the price of your table, including our reconditioned pool tables. This is, therefore, the ideal cloth range to browse for those seeking a professional, hard-wearing table at an affordable price.

Hainsworth Smart Cloth & Elite Pro cloths

Hainsworth Smart and Elite Pro

Alternatively you can upgrade to one of the Hainsworth cloths for a greater choice of cloth colours and additional play benefits. The key differences between the two ranges we fit are the cloth fabric and the resulting speed of play. The Hainsworth Smart is an extremely hard-wearing, napped woollen cloth available in twenty-three shades and with exceptional colour fastness and longevity. If you are keen to personalise your table, this is the ideal investment cloth to consider. The Hainsworth Elite Pro is a nappless, worsted, speed cloth ideal for the fast, American game but with a similar range of beautiful colours.

Can I upgrade to a Hainsworth Cloth?

With an in-house team of fitters, Kingswood can supply any table in the range fitted with your choice of Hainsworth cloth and are fitted as standard at no extra cost on the Kingswood Aspen, Kingwood Oak, any table from the Billards Plaisance range and any luxury pool table (with the exception of the Milano). For all other models, upgrading to a Hainsworth Elite Pro or Smart cloth adds just £100 to the overall cost of the table, based on a standard 7ft table. The only table models that cannot be fitted with a Hainsworth Smart cloth are the outdoor tables. They can, however, be fitted with your choice of Elite Pro cloth. You'll see all the available options when you select a table and configure your preferences in our Table Builder but if you have any queries do just contact us.
