How Commercial Table Mats Work

Table mats might seem straightforward, but commercial versions do a proper job beyond just looking nice. They create a crucial protective barrier between hot plates and your valuable tables, preventing heat damage, scratches and spills from ruining expensive surfaces. Most feature non-slip backing that keeps everything firmly in place during service, while heat-resistant top surfaces handle temperatures up to 100°C without warping. The best commercial mats also incorporate moisture-resistant materials that prevent liquids from seeping through to tables, saving you a fortune in furniture replacement costs over time.
