Rigid PVC placemat

Rigid PVC placemat: immediate stability, quick drying, effortless maintenance

Are you looking for a placemat that stays in place, withstands mealtime mishaps, and can be cleaned up in the blink of an eye? This rigid PVC placemat meets this requirement for comfort and cleanliness. Its "rigid" surface provides a stable base for plates and glasses, while its multi-layer construction— diatomite fabric , absorbent regenerated foam , and a non-slip natural rubber sole —guarantees worry-free daily use. The result: a clean, quiet, and hygienic table where you can serve and clear away stress-free.

Strengths in use

• “Rigid” stability : flat surface, impeccable hold, cutlery and glasses do not “dance”.
• Fast absorption and drying : the diatomite layer absorbs moisture, the foam diffuses and the water evaporates quickly.
• Powerful anti-slip : natural rubber sole with reliefs, firm grip without marking the board.
• Hygiene : naturally antibacterial material, ideal for a clean table every day.
• Eco-responsible : sustainable materials, designed to be reused for a long time.
• Flexible to store : despite the “rigid PVC” feel, the set rolls or folds slightly without deforming.
• Easy maintenance : vacuum cleaner for dust, water + a drop of dishwashing liquid for greasy marks.

Materials and structure: what makes the difference

Performance comes from the layering. On the surface, the diatomite fabric absorbs splashes and micro-spills; it quickly absorbs and then allows moisture to escape. Next comes a regenerated foam that distributes water and dampens the noise of cutlery. Underneath, the natural rubber ensures grip on the table: the placemat does not slip, even on a smooth surface. This architecture gives the rigid PVC placemat a reassuringly flat feel without the hardness of solid plastic; you gain in comfort, silence, and durability.

Formats, shape and place at the table

The straight edges create a clean frame around the cutlery. Three sizes cover most needs:

• 30 × 40 cm : small space, dining area, counter.
• 40 × 50 cm : versatile format for plate + cutlery + balloon glass.
• 50 × 60 cm : large plates, generous presentations, wide tables.

The square-edged shape (clear angles) makes alignment easier. Place the base of the placemat 1 cm from the edge of the table, then leave 3 to 5 cm between two places: the table breathes, the service circulates better. On a narrow tabletop, orient the placemat "lengthwise" to free up space for the glasses. On a large table, use the large size in the middle for service and the individual sizes in front of each guest: you gain in readability.

Daily maintenance and hygiene

Cleaning is done in three steps: vacuum up dust if necessary, dab stains with warm water + a drop of mild soap, then rinse and let air dry (in the shade). Oils and sauces come off easily thanks to the closed surface. Avoid abrasives, boiling water and strong solvents. To maintain flatness, store flat or in a wide roll. Dishes coming out of the oven should be placed on a trivet; the placemat protects the table from everyday use, but not extreme thermal shocks.

User experience: simple gestures, peaceful table

At breakfast, a wet cup doesn't leave a lasting mark: the placemat dries quickly. At lunch, vinaigrette doesn't soak in; just wipe it off and it's done. At dinner, the rubberized base prevents unwanted movements when cutting or serving. Even with children, the rigid PVC placemat keeps things under control: less slipping, fewer splintering, more peace of mind. The acoustic gain is real: the regenerated foam cushions, making the table feel more subdued.

Staging Tips

On light wood, choose a soft shade to extend the natural effect. On a dark top, a light color enhances the tableware. For a graphic table, align two sizes: large formats for the centerpiece, medium ones in front of each guest. Add a plain cotton napkin and a few clear glasses: the decor breathes, and the "rigid" flatness highlights the plate. On a lacquered table, wipe the top first: the rubber sole grips better on a clean, dry surface.

Customization and cutting

The set accepts a clean free-cut (with a utility knife and metal ruler) to adjust a length or create a matching trivet. The edges won't curl and stay flat. Always test on a scrap or an unseen end to confirm your move, then cut in a single clean pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the set leave marks on the table?

No. The natural rubber sole grips without scratching. On a heavily varnished surface, dust and dry before installation for optimal grip.

Does it withstand spilled liquids?

Yes. The surface absorbs and releases moisture quickly, then dries quickly. Wipe or rinse to leave with a clean surface.

Can it be folded for storage?

Only one set per package?

The package includes 1 non-slip placemat . Choose the size according to your use, or combine several sizes for a modular table.
