What styles of heat-resistant table protectors are there?

Heat-resistant table protectors come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. Typically you will find these tabletop protectors in rectangular form, but they can also be found in oval or circular shapes. For a custom fit, you can even select precise sizing from a roll of heat-resistant tabletop material. Heat-resistant tabletop protectors come in a number of beautiful designs and colours to enhance your dining room with a graceful touch of elegance. You also have the option of heat-resistant table pads, which you can layer under your current tablecloth to help protect the surface of your dining room table from damage.

Do these tabletop protectors only protect against heat?

Heat-resistant table protectors can keep your tabletop from getting scorch marks from hot pots, pans, and plates up to 100 degrees Celsius. Not only do they help protect your tabletop from heat-based damage, these tabletop protectors also help protect your table from accidental scratches and stains as well as nicks and overall wear and tear. Many of these tabletop protectors also provide a non-slip grip to keep them firmly in place on your tabletop and help prevent accidental spills.

What materials are heat-resistant table protectors made of?
  • PVC: This is the standard material that table protectors are made of.
  • Vinyl: A secondary material that is sometimes used in the manufacturing of heat-resistant table protectors.
  • Felt: Typically found on the back of your table protector to carefully protect the surface of your tabletop.
Can heat-resistant table protectors be cleaned regularly?

The majority of heat-resistant table protectors are manufactured with PVC. Polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC, is a strong yet lightweight type of plastic. This material can be found in many products in a variety of flexibility levels. Softer and more flexible PVC, like that used in the production of tabletop protectors, is made by the addition of plasticisers. Therefore, your heat-resistant table protector is similar in durability to a typical vinyl tablecloth and can be cleaned the same way. Simple soap and hot water will easily wipe clean your heat-resistant tablecloth. You can also opt to use a basic multi-purpose cleaner to spray and wipe down your tabletop protector.
