FAQs
What is the exact size of the protector?
The protector is supplied as 80 x 80 cm (L x W). However, there is a tolerance of 1-2 cm in the edges, allowing you to cut it to a precise size.
Can this protector be used outdoors?
Yes, it is suitable for outdoor patio tables. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight might affect its appearance over time. It is waterproof and resistant to elements.
Is the protector completely clear?
The product description indicates a 'White' color family and a 'Clear' material color, suggesting it is transparent with a matt finish. It is not opaque.
How thick is the protector?
The protector has a thickness of 2 mm.
Will this protector protect against hot plates?
While it offers protection against general wear and tear, it is not designed as a heat-resistant mat. Placing very hot items directly on the protector may cause damage or warping.
How do I cut it to fit my table perfectly?
Unroll the protector and lay it flat. Measure your table and mark the cutting lines directly on the protector with a pencil or chalk. Use sharp scissors or a craft knife and a straight edge for clean, precise cuts.
Can it be used on glass tables?
Yes, it is suitable for use on glass tables to protect the glass surface from scratches and spills.
Troubleshooting
Protector has creases or won't lay flat.
Allow the protector to lay flat in a warm room for several hours, or gently use a hairdryer on a low setting (held at a distance) to help it relax. You can also try placing heavy, flat objects on the edges.
Difficulty cutting the protector cleanly.
Use a sharp craft knife or heavy-duty scissors. For straight lines, use a metal ruler as a guide. Ensure the protector is on a firm, stable surface for cutting.
Protector feels sticky or leaves residue.
This can happen with some PVC products. Ensure the surface is completely clean before applying. If residue remains after removal, use a mild cleaner or a dedicated adhesive remover suitable for your furniture's material.
Moisture trapped under the protector.
Lift the protector regularly (e.g., weekly) to allow the underlying surface to air out. Ensure both the surface and the protector are dry before re-applying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the protector and allow it to lay flat for several hours, preferably in a warm environment, to help it relax and remove creases from packaging.
- Measure your table or surface accurately.
- If necessary, use scissors or a sharp craft knife to carefully cut the protector to the desired shape and size. For best results, use a straight edge as a guide.
- Place the protector onto the clean, dry surface.
Compatibility:
This protector is compatible with most flat, smooth surfaces including wood, glass, laminate, and stone tables. It can also be used on floors in dining rooms, living areas, or offices.
Care:
Clean the protector regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Wipe away spills immediately to prevent staining. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the PVC surface. Ensure the surface beneath the protector is dry to prevent moisture buildup.
