FAQs

What materials is the Monument Gl Fibre Plumbers Mat made from?

The mat is made from glass fibre fabric.

What is the maximum temperature the mat can withstand?

The mat can resist temperatures up to 600°C.

Is this mat safe to use?

Yes, it is asbestos-free, making it a safe alternative to older materials.

What are the dimensions of the mat?

The mat measures 300 x 250mm (12 x 10 inches).

Can I use this mat on a wooden surface?

Yes, the mat provides protection for surfaces like wood, but always ensure the temperature limit of 600°C is not exceeded.

How should I store the mat?

Store the mat flat in a dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture, after ensuring it is completely cool and clean.

Is the mat suitable for welding?

While designed for soldering and brazing, it can offer some protection for light welding tasks provided the heat and spatter are within its temperature and coverage limits.

Troubleshooting

Mat appears to be degrading after use

Ensure the temperature of the flame does not exceed the mat's 600°C limit. Inspect the mat for damage; if significantly degraded, replace it for safety.

Heat seems to be transferring through the mat

Verify the mat is placed directly between the heat source and the surface to be protected. Ensure the mat is not compromised or excessively worn. Consider using a larger mat or multiple layers if dealing with prolonged or intense heat.

Mat is difficult to clean

For minor dust or debris, a dry brush is usually sufficient. If a damp cloth is needed, ensure the mat is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
