FAQs

Are these placemats dishwasher safe?

While the tempered glass is durable, it is generally recommended to hand wash these placemats. High temperatures and harsh detergents in dishwashers could potentially affect the finish or the rubber feet over time.

What is the exact size of the placemats?

Product information provides conflicting dimensions (30cm x 20cm and 50cm x 40cm). Please refer to the specific product packaging or retailer listing for the precise dimensions of the placemats you are purchasing.

Can I place very hot pans directly on them?

These placemats are designed to be resistant to hot dishes served directly from the oven. However, prolonged contact with extremely hot cookware (like a hot pan) might still pose a risk. It's best practice to use a trivet for items that have been on a direct heat source like a stovetop.

Do the rubber feet leave marks on the table?

The rubber feet are designed to prevent slipping and are generally safe for most table surfaces. However, on very delicate or newly polished finishes, it's always wise to test in an inconspicuous area or place a protective barrier if concerned.

How should I store these placemats?

Store them flat or upright in a stable location where they won't be knocked over. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of them to prevent potential damage or scratching.

What is the material of the placemats?

The placemats are made from fully-tempered glass.

Troubleshooting

Placemat slides on the table.

Ensure the underside of the placemat and the table surface are clean and dry. The rubber feet provide grip on smooth surfaces; significant moisture or debris can reduce their effectiveness.

Difficulty removing sticky residue.

Use a soft cloth dampened with warm, soapy water or a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid using sharp objects to scrape residue, as this can cause scratches.

Visible scratches on the surface.

Scratches may occur from abrasive cleaning tools or dragging heavy objects across the surface. For minor scratches, a glass polishing compound might help, but prevention through careful use is key.

Placemat feels unstable or wobbly.

Check if the rubber feet are evenly attached and free from debris. Ensure the placemat is placed on a level surface. Minor imperfections in the glass or feet could cause instability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting due to tempered glass.
  • Provides excellent protection against heat and spills.
  • Enhances table setting with a modern, elegant appearance.
  • Easy to maintain and clean.
  • Includes non-slip feet for stability.

Cons

  • Can be heavy, potentially marking softer table surfaces if dragged.
  • Glass may be prone to chipping if dropped from a height.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid breakage during cleaning or placement.
  • The actual dimensions may vary (stated as 30x20cm and 50x40cm in product information).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These placemats require no assembly. Simply place them directly onto your desired dining surface. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before placing the placemats to allow the rubber feet to grip effectively.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on most hard dining surfaces including wood, glass, and stone. Avoid use on highly sensitive or easily scratched surfaces if there's a concern about the weight or potential for dragging.

Care: To clean, wipe immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild non-abrasive cleaner can be used. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which may scratch or damage the glass surface. While they are heat-resistant, avoid extreme, sudden temperature changes. Hand wash recommended; not typically dishwasher safe due to potential damage from high heat and harsh detergents.
