Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Pier Bistro in Llandudno needed a table dressing solution that was both stylish and able to withstand their busy seaside tourist trade. Their existing wooden tables were showing signs of wear from constant cleaning and spills.
"We were spending a fortune on linen services and our tables still looked tired. Switching to these catering table mats was a revelation. They look brilliant, protect the wood, and our staff can turn a table around in half the time."
Robert Evans – Owner, The Pier Bistro
The bistro successfully eliminated its weekly laundry bill and reported that table cleaning time between guests was reduced by an estimated 40%, allowing for faster service during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack the placemats upon arrival.
- If they have curled slightly during shipping, lay them flat under a weight for a few hours.
- Ensure your table surface is clean and dry before placing them down.
- Arrange them on the table – no adhesives or fixing required!
Keeping It Going
- For daily cleaning, simply wipe with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the surface.
- For tougher food stains, let a damp cloth sit on the area for a minute before wiping.
- Store them flat when not in use to maintain their shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these placemats heat resistant?
A: They are suitable for warm plates, but you should avoid placing extremely hot items like sizzling skillets or pans directly from the oven onto them.
Q: Do they slip and slide on the table?
A: The PVC material offers a good grip on most standard table surfaces, making this non-slip silver placemat a reliable choice for preventing plates from moving.
Q: How do I clean them properly?
A: A simple wipe with a damp cloth and a bit of mild detergent is all you need. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals.
Q: Are the colours on both sides?
A: These placemats are single-sided, with the silver and grey design on the top surface.
Q: Can I use these placemats outdoors?
A: They are primarily designed for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the colours to fade over time.
Q: Do they stain easily from things like curry or red wine?
A: The non-porous PVC surface is highly resistant to staining. For best results, wipe up strong-coloured spills as soon as possible.
Q: Is the material flexible or rigid?
A: The placemats are flexible, allowing them to lie flat on the table, but they are rigid enough to provide a stable, protective surface.
Q: What is the exact size?
A: Each placemat measures 450mm wide by 330mm deep, a great size for a standard place setting.
The APS Advantage: Smart Design for Real-World Kitchens
Beyond the simple specs, choosing APS for your tableware is a vote for thoughtful, German-engineered design that understands the pressures of a commercial environment. For over 85 years, APS has been creating products not just to look good, but to perform reliably, day in, day out. This silver grey PVC placemat is a perfect example. It represents a long-term value investment by drastically reducing the need for costly table repairs or replacements and cutting out laundry expenses entirely. The true benefit is found in the daily grind: quicker table turns, less stress for your staff, and a consistently sharp, professional presentation that guests will notice. With APS, you're not just buying a product; you're buying peace of mind and operational efficiency that pays for itself over time.
Explore more from APSHow a Waterproof Surface Protects More Than Just Spills
When we say a placemat is 'waterproof', it's easy to think just about mopping up a spilled drink. But the real benefit of this feature goes much deeper. The non-porous PVC surface acts as a complete shield for your tabletops. Think of it like a high-quality phone screen protector; it takes all the daily knocks, scratches, and stains so the expensive surface underneath remains flawless. It prevents moisture from seeping into wood grain, which can cause warping and discolouration over time. This means your tables last longer and look better, saving you significant refurbishment costs down the line.
