A placemat or table mat is a covering or pad designating an individual place setting, unlike the larger table cloth that covers the entire surface.
\nPlacemats are made from many different materials depending on their purpose: to protect, decorate, entertain or advertise.
\nMaterials and production methods range from mass-produced and commercial, to local and traditional.<\/p>\n
Uses
\nTheir primary function is to protect the dinner table from water marks, food stains or heat damage.
\nThey also serve as decoration, especially placemats made from lace or silk.
\nIn restaurants they can be used to advertise menu items, specials, local businesses or games for children.
\nIf the mat is cotton, it is useful because it absorbs water and other liquids.<\/p>\n
Higher end placemats, made from vinyl or leather, are used by hotels and organizations for meetings as they provide a writing surface, and give an area on which to lean comfortably and to place objects on the table with minimal noise during meetings.<\/p>\n
Contemporary opinion on the usefulness of placemats is mixed.
\nCloth table mats are commonly considered to be unnecessary and require excessive upkeep \u2013 compared to the surface of a table which can be easily cleaned, a stained cloth table mat must be run through the washer and drier before it can be used again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
