Cork coasters square & round – trivets and glass coasters

The tea is steaming, the pot comes hot off the hob – and you still want your wooden table to look like it does today for a long time. Cork coasters sit right in between. They catch heat, glass rings and scratches before they leave marks. With two shapes and six sizes, you'll find the right piece for mugs, glasses and roasting dishes. It's as if the set were put together for your dining table.

What changes for you

• You can put down hot pots and pans without hesitating – because natural cork insulates and helps prevent burn marks.
• Your table stays free of glass rings and scratches – thanks to the soft, gentle cork surface under glasses, mugs and bowls.
• You have the right mat for every dish – because the coasters come in square and round and in six sizes, from glass coasters to large trivets.
• You can use them indoors and outdoors – cork is light, sturdy and well suited to outdoor use too.
• You also get material for creative projects – the cork coasters can be painted and cut to shape, for example for crafts with children.

Why these cork coasters make a difference every day

A coaster is quickly to hand – or it isn't, and then the ring on the tabletop annoys you for weeks. With a small stock of cork coasters in different sizes, you simply reach for the right shape. Laying the table becomes relaxed. The warm natural tone of cork blends quietly into almost any table setting, from breakfast to the buffet.

Material & finish

The coasters are made of natural cork. It is a light, sturdy material that conducts heat poorly. That is exactly why it protects so reliably against burn marks. The surface is soft enough to protect furniture. At the same time, it is easy to care for in daily use. As a natural material, cork shows a lively texture with slight differences in colour and grain. This makes every piece a little unique and is not a defect.

How to use the cork coasters

• At dinner: the casserole goes straight from the hob onto the large trivet. You serve it hot without worrying about the tabletop.
• Over coffee: a round cork coaster under every cup. The table stays free of stains, and everything looks evenly laid.
• On the balcony and patio: cold glasses with condensation stand safely on cork. This works outdoors too, because the material copes with it easily.
• In the café or at the buffet: flasks, bowls and platters stand protected on the coasters. The counter stays tidy, and setting up is quick.
• Our crafting tip: The cork coasters are also good for crafts. You can paint them or cut them to shape and create your own shapes and small decorations.

Good to know about cork

Cork consists of millions of tiny air-filled cells. That's why it barely conducts heat and gently cushions knocks. This property has long made it a proven material for coasters. It protects surfaces from heat above and scratches below, with no coating at all.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Shake off crumbs, wipe briefly with a damp cloth if needed and leave to dry. That's all cork needs. Avoid prolonged wetness, and the coasters will keep their shape and warm look for a long time.
