Sink Mat Buyer’s Guide
A kitchen sink is an investment that gets a huge amount of use, and it’s all too easy to damage its delicate surface with dropped pans or cutlery. A sink mat protects the bottom of your kitchen sink, keeping the surface in fantastic condition.
There’s a range of sink mats on the market in varying designs. Not sure what to look for? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Material
Sink mats are usually made from silicone, plastic or metal. Silicone mats are flexible and durable. They can usually be cut to fit any size of sink and they are easy to keep clean. They offer good grip and are very hygienic.
Plastic or PVC sink mats are equally easy to clean and hardwearing. They usually have good grip, and they’re easy to keep in good condition. Metal sink mats are another popular option. These are durable and stylish, pairing well with stainless steel kitchen sinks.
Dimensions
Sink mats are available in a range of sizes. Silicone sink mats can often be cut down to size, but there are a range of sink mats designed for either small or large sinks. A two pack of sink mats is great for double sinks.
Design
There’s a range of designs to choose from when it comes to your sink mats. The pebble or bubble design is very popular, as this provides a good combination of aesthetics and grip. Some sink mats have a hole integrated into them for your drain.
It’s important to look for good drainage, as sink mats that don’t allow water to drain are more susceptible to mould. Those with elevated feet gently lift the mat off the sink’s surface and tend to have the best drainage.
