Key benefits Protects surfaces from scratches, abrasions, oil stains, coffee spills and minor heat marks. Easy to clean, waterproof and oilresistant — wipes clean with a damp cloth. Durable and stable: flexible PVC offers longlasting protection for a variety of tabletops. Product features Material: Clear PVC (plastic derived from petroleum). Durable, stable and tough for everyday use. Thickness: 1.5 mm for reliable surface protection. Heat resistance: rated up to 176°F / 80°C. Do not place items hotter than 100°C directly on the pad; use an additional heatproof pad for higher temperatures. Finish options: clear, frosted or floral styles available (choose frosted or floral to minimize the appearance of any oil transfer). Compatibility and common uses Works on dining tables, wooden tables (including original/unfinished wood with precautions), glass, marble, stainless steel, office desks, writing desktops, coffee and end tables, TV stands, dressers, chests, nightstands, countertops and hard floors. Practical for homes, offices, and rental properties where furniture needs consistent, nonpermanent protection. Care and material note PVC is petroleumbased. Heat and prolonged pressure may cause slight oil leaching. If placing the pad on raw or original wood, put a thin cloth beneath the pad to prevent oil transfer into the wood. To avoid oil transfer issues altogether, consider selecting a frosted or floral pad. How to trim and fit Items are supplied slightly larger than the stated size to allow for thermal contraction. There is typically an extra edge of about 0.2 inches. If you need a custom fit for a rectangle or square table, use a sharp pair of scissors, a pencil and a ruler. Allow an extra 0.3–0.5 inch in each dimension as a margin for shrinkage. Two practical scenarios Family dining table: Place the PVC pad under placemats to catch spills, protect from scratches and simplify cleanup after meals. Office or hobby desk: Protect writing surfaces and computer desks from ink, scratches and accidental liquid spills while keeping a flat, stable work surface. What to expect A clear, easytomaintain tabletop protector that preserves the look and finish of your furniture while offering practical, everyday protection.
