Choosing Ø12 cm Ashtrays for Shared Tables and Stacked Storage

Start with your shared terrace tables and available space

Choose your terrace ashtrays around the tables you actually use, rather than selecting a diameter in isolation. On a shared table, you need to consider the ashtray alongside your usual service layout and decide where it will sit.

The Novatex 05-049 is a round, straight-sided ashtray with a 12 cm diameter. Its stated applications include terraces and shared tables in cafés, bars, restaurants and hotels. That makes it a relevant option for your shortlist, but your available tabletop space should guide the final choice.

Start by checking a representative table with your normal service items in position. Identify the space you can allocate to the ashtray without treating the whole tabletop as available. Repeat that check across different table sizes in your terrace layout.

Check the Ø12 cm footprint against Ø8 cm and Ø10 cm options

The diameter gives you a concrete starting point: the featured ashtray occupies a round Ø12 cm tabletop footprint. The product is also available in Ø8 cm and Ø10 cm sizes, so you have smaller-diameter options to consider where space is tighter.

Compare all three outlines in the intended position. Keep the rest of the table arrangement unchanged during the comparison, so your decision reflects the space each diameter requires rather than a different layout for every size.

• Ø8 cm: include this option when you want to assess the smallest available diameter.
• Ø10 cm: compare this intermediate size with both the smaller and larger outlines.
• Ø12 cm: choose this footprint where it fits your shared-table arrangement.

Tip: use paper circles in the three available diameters to compare tabletop space before selecting your size.

Keep this comparison focused on diameter. A smaller outline answers a space question; it does not, by itself, establish differences in other product features. Equally, the Ø12 cm option should earn its place through the fit of your table layout, not simply because it is the largest of these three sizes.

Assess the three cigarette rests without assuming ash capacity

The Novatex 05-049 has three cigarette rests in the rim. Treat that as a distinct selection criterion alongside diameter: you are checking both the space the ashtray occupies and the rim arrangement it provides.

For your shared tables, consider whether three resting positions match the arrangement you want to provide. Do not turn the number of rests into a recommended guest count or use it as a measure of ash capacity.

Keep the two decisions separate when briefing your team. The Ø12 cm diameter describes the tabletop footprint, while the three rests describe the rim. Neither should be used to promise a particular emptying interval for your operation.

Review the confirmed specifications and same-diameter alternative

Once the footprint and rim arrangement suit your requirements, check the product identity and construction details. Use the item code when recording your selection so the specification remains clear when you order.

The satin finish gives a matt, even look on café and bar tables. Consider that appearance alongside your existing tabletop items, while keeping the selection grounded in the confirmed dimensions and features.

For a same-diameter alternative, review the 05-065 Round Stainless Steel Ashtray 18/8, Ø12 cm. Its supplied name identifies another round Ø12 cm ashtray in 18/8 stainless steel; that information alone does not establish differences in weight, stacking, rests or performance.

Check stackable storage and the 12-piece pack

The featured ashtray is stackable, so include your storage arrangement in the selection process rather than checking only the terrace tables. Decide where you will keep the ashtrays when they are not in use and assess that location as part of your purchase planning.

The pack quantity is 12 pieces. Count the tables you intend to equip, decide how many ashtrays you want in reserve, and compare your total requirement with that pack quantity. Do not automatically treat one pack as a complete terrace allocation.

Keep the service quantity and storage plan connected. Your choice needs to work both when the ashtrays are on shared tables and when you put them away.

Make your final ashtray selection

Select the Novatex Ø12 cm model when its round footprint fits your shared tables, its three rim rests match your requirements, and stackable storage suits your operation. If tabletop space is the deciding constraint, revisit the Ø8 cm and Ø10 cm outlines before committing.
