Why is Cork popular for tablemats, coasters, pot stands and trays ?
• Cork is a unique natural material with amazing properties for insulation so it will protect tabletops from heat. • Cork is made from millions of self contained cells and so liquids do not penetrate from cell to cell, this means it is highly resistant to staining. See our Care and use section for cleaning cork surfaces • Cork has a natural non-slip surface so plates will not slide as they do on melamine mats. For trays, glasses and bottles will be much more stable and will also not slide on natural cork even when the tray is tipped at high angles. • For the versatile uses of this natural material it is extremely light but strong, particularly useful with trays. Cork is 50% air.
