Popular Types of Tablemats, UK Sized
What are the most used table placemats?
Table placemats are necessary items to have in your home. They can protect your table and at the same time give it an elegant look. Table mats also keep your tabletops neat and tidy, making it easy to wipe clean at the end of the day. Below we will look at how tablemats work and how you can choose the most suitable set for your dining room.
Decorative placemats, essential for your dining table
Tablemats are an essential part of your dining experience. Many people use tablemats to protect their table and enhance its appearance. They come in all shapes and sizes, but most commonly in the UK they are either rectangular or square in shape. The material the table placemats are made from can also vary greatly. Some of the most common materials used in the making of tablemats are vinyl, cotton, and hardboard with cork backing.
Cotton placemats
Cotton is one the most popular fabrics for tableware in general, from tablecloths to placemats and napkins, mainly because it is easy to clean and is absorbent with a soft feel. Cotton designs are generally white in colour with simple checked pattern so you can find one fairly easily to match your kitchen decor. Cotton place mats are durable and make a very good choice for everyday use.
Woven vinyl
Woven vinyl table placemats are the cheapest and one of the easiest to clean options. Made from a flexible, durable material that looks like cotton or linen but is easy to clean with a damp cloth. These table placemats are usually rectangular shaped and larger than the typical UK tablemats option. Being durable woven vinyl tablemats will last for years because they are built to last and resistant to stains. They are not solid like the rigid cork backed placemats, so spilled liquids can penetrate through to the surface of your dining-table.
Traditional Hardboard Placemats.
Cork backed hardboard placemats are a traditional option used by many households in the UK. These tablemats are made from compressed hardboard and have a soft cork backing. Nowadays these are made from trees that are exclusively from renewable resources and are highly durable and easy to clean. If you are looking for a low maintenance item that will look fresh for years, then these may be the table placemats for you.
Place mats as well as matching coasters are a great way to protect your furniture and at the same time make your dining room look great. With a variety of different types of table placemats to choose from, such as soft cotton or rigid hardboard the collections found on our website have something for everyone.
