Made in an extra-large size, this quartet of T&G Woodware Large Rectangular Cork Table Mats is ideal for protecting your dining table from hot serving dishes and platters, and can be used for place settings on generously sized tables too. Equally useful in the kitchen when gathering all the elements of a meal together, these cork mats are naturally non-slip and heat-resistant, so your countertops can be saved from scorch marks and scratches when you’re in the process of moving pots, pans and casserole dishes from stove to table.

Sustainable cork

Find out about harvesting the Cork Oak here.

Like all oak trees, the Cork Oak lives for hundreds of years, but unlike most oaks, the Cork Oak is an evergreen that carries foliage all year round – and unlike any other variety of tree – it can be stripped of its incredibly versatile bark without suffering. Able to regenerate every 9 years, cork is harvested by skilled artisan families who’ve often worked the same trees for many generations, they take around 8 years to learn the technique of ‘peeling’ the thick layer of cork from a tree with a specialised axe, starting with the branches and finishing with the trunk. Once harvested, the cork is flattened and dried before being turned into wine corks and table mats and there’s no waste – every scrap of cork can be used for something useful!

Cork can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if anything gets spilt during a meal.

About T&G Woodware

Founded in Portishead, Bristol in 1975, within a few years T&G Woodware had developed the largest range of domestic woodware available in the UK. We love their products because they’re not only beautiful but also thoughtfully designed, responsibly produced and made to last. T&G were one of the first homeware suppliers to achieve the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accreditation and their chunky boards, made from raw oak, beech and other woods, make them one of the go-to companies for heirloom chopping boards, made with care from the most environmentally sourced woods.
