Steel Fleximats - Set of 4 Tablemats

Large woven vinyl placemats

Floppy and reversible tablemats collection

Fleximats are a great solution to keeping your furniture free of the scuffs and marks that can occur during mealtimes. This woven vinyl textile collection from Plymouth Pottery is a modern, contemporary style of reversible tablemat that works as an excellent alternative to traditional corkbacked placemats.

The Steel Fleximat is reversible with one side a steely grey colour and the reverse side is a lighter shade of grey with the outline of a flower on each side.

The tablemat is printed with a Chrysanthemum type flower and protects your precious dining or kitchen table, keeping it free of scratches and heat damage often caused by dinner plates. Large size flexible placemats are floppy and have been woven from a food safe textile compound.

Flexible and floppy vinyl table placmats

Large Fleximats 45cm x 30cm, set of 4

Two of the benefits of the set of four Fleximats are the flexibility and strength gained from the PVC woven vinyl textile material and is a great solution to protect your table. The non-slip texture of the woven vinyl is another advantage that the Fleximat has compared to standard linen or cotton tablemats. This means there will be a reduced chance of the placemats skating around your table in the way a cotton tablemat might.

Supplied as sets of 4, these non-rigid table placemats are a generously sized at 45cm x 30cm (17.75 x 11.25 inches). This large size tablemat means you can place your dinner plate, cutlery and wine glass on the same flexible placemat. This avoids the need for separate drinks coasters.

Tips when caring for your Fleximat

Preserve your vinyl placemats

In order to get the most out of your Steel Fleximats you should clean them with a bit of soap and water (an antibacterial soap is fine) and a soft cloth or sponge, as soon as possible after use. To remove stubborn food stains gently rub the affected area with a soft brush. You should always try and get rid of any food stains immediately. Before storing let the mats dry naturally.

Flexible table placemats should be stored flat without creasing or folding. The Plymouth Pottery Fleximats are child friendly and can be used indoors as well as outdoors. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for too long and do not place them in the dishwasher or washing machine.

Is it possible to decorate with metal placemats?

Steel Fleximats alternative to metal placemats

Setting up a table that is elegant can be a complicated task, and metal placemats look great, but can be difficult to maintain. An alternative are some steel coloured Fleximats, which are easier to maintain and look very attractive. This allows you to have a table with a decorative and practical solution that still looks very attractive.

They are also heat resistant to 100ºC, which is fine for the typical hot dinner plate, but not for dishes taken from the oven. The reversible option with these steel mats means you can mix up the colours to create an individual special effect.

If you are looking to set out your dining table in a more formal way, we recommend that you use neutral colours, which you can find amongst the Fleximats range on our website. The options available give you the chance to unite different themes depending on the kitchen or dining room or dinner event.

If you combine this alternative to metal placemats with some linen napkins, for example, the result can be really attractive, particularly if the colours contrast nicely and can be a stylish finishing touch to your dining table.
