Buy a sink mat to protect your sink
A sink mat protects the bottom of your sink during daily washing up and cleaning. Crockery, glasses, cutlery, and pans are less likely to come into direct contact with the sink's surface, while the open design allows water to drain easily.
At TEKZEN, you'll find Kinvara sink mats in various shapes, sizes, and colors. Choose from round and square sink mats in transparent, white, grey, black, and beige, among others. This way, you combine practical protection with a look that matches your kitchen.
What is a sink mat?
A sink mat is a protective mat that you place on the bottom of the sink.
The mat forms an extra layer between the sink and the items you place in it. This is useful when you rinse or wash glasses, plates, cutlery, and other kitchen utensils daily.
Thanks to its open structure, water can continue to flow around the mat towards the drain.
Sink protector mat
A sink mat is also often called a sink protector mat.
Both terms refer to the same practical kitchen accessory: a mat for the bottom of your sink.
When choosing a sink protector mat, the size is particularly important. Therefore, measure the inside of your sink beforehand and consider the position of the drain.
This prevents you from choosing a mat that doesn't fit properly in the sink.
Sink protection
During daily use, a sink endures a lot.
Cutlery is placed in it, glasses are rinsed, and pans can hit the bottom.
With a sink protector, you create an extra protective layer between these objects and the bottom.
That makes a sink mat a simple addition for anyone who wants to provide extra protection for their sink during daily use.
Sink mat against scratches
A common reason to use a sink mat is to limit direct contact between crockery and the sink.
A sink mat against scratches helps by preventing glasses, plates, and cutlery from being placed directly on the bottom.
A mat cannot completely prevent damage under all circumstances, but it does provide a practical extra protective layer during normal daily use.
Sink mat for stainless steel sink
A stainless steel sink is widely used in modern kitchens.
Precisely because you place crockery, cutlery, and cooking utensils in the sink daily, a protective bottom mat can be pleasant.
Choose a size that fits within the flat bottom of your sink and check if water can easily continue to flow to the drain.
This keeps the sink practically usable.
Square sink mat
Do you have a square or rectangular sink? Then a square sink mat might fit well.
Within the collection, you'll find various square Kinvara models.
There is, among other things, a transparent version of 28 × 28 cm and a set with square mats of approximately 29 cm.
In addition, there are versions of 28 × 31 cm for sinks where a slightly more elongated size fits better.
Round sink mat
For round sinks, you'll find round sink mats of 29 cm.
The round shape fits a round bottom better than a square mat.
Always measure the available space in the sink before purchasing. A difference of a few centimeters can determine whether the mat lies perfectly flat.
Also, check where the drain is located and whether it remains sufficiently clear.
Transparent sink mat
Do you want to keep the appearance of your sink as visible as possible? Then a transparent sink mat is an attractive choice.
Within the Kinvara assortment, you'll find both a round transparent version of 29 cm and a square transparent mat of 28 × 28 cm.
Due to the transparent design, the mat is less noticeable in the sink.
Black sink mat
A black sink mat gives the sink a modern look.
Black can, for example, beautifully match a dark faucet, black kitchen accessories, or a kitchen that uses dark accents.
Black mats are included in various sets within the assortment.
This way, you can combine practical sink protection with the colors of your kitchen.
Grey sink mat
Grey is a neutral color that easily combines with many kitchens.
A grey sink mat can, for example, beautifully match a stainless steel sink and other silver or grey tones in the kitchen.
Within the Kinvara sets, grey is combined with various other colors.
This allows you to easily switch when you need to.
Beige sink mat
For kitchens with warm and natural tones, a beige sink mat can be a beautiful choice.
Beige combines well with cream, taupe, wood, and other calm colors.
Within the assortment, you'll find sets where beige is supplied together with white, grey, and black.
This way, you have multiple colors available and can decide which version best suits your kitchen.
White sink mat
With a white sink mat, you opt for a light and calm appearance.
White can beautifully match a light kitchen or white kitchen accessories.
Within the collection, you'll find white versions as part of various Kinvara sets.
Because a sink mat comes into intensive contact with water and dirt, regular cleaning is important to keep the mat tidy.
Kinvara sink mat
Within the collection, you'll find various Kinvara sink mats.
You can choose from round and square versions and different color combinations.
Loose transparent mats and sets of multiple items are available.
This allows you to choose one neutral sink mat or immediately acquire several colors and items.
Sink mat 28 × 28 cm
For a more compact square sink, you'll find a Kinvara sink mat of 28 × 28 cm.
This version is transparent and has a square shape.
Measure the bottom of your sink before ordering. Look at the part where the mat can actually lie flat and not just at the total external dimensions of the sink.
Sink mat 28 × 31 cm
Do you have a slightly more elongated sink? Then a sink mat of 28 × 31 cm might fit better.
Within the collection, you'll find this size as a set of three in white, grey, and black.
By combining different colors in one set, you can switch or keep a spare handy.
Always check beforehand whether 28 × 31 cm fits your sink.
Sink mat 29 cm
Various sink mats of 29 cm are available within the collection.
You'll find both round versions and square models around this size.
For a round mat, 29 cm refers to the diameter.
Therefore, don't just measure the width of your sink, but specifically look at the shape and available bottom space.
Sink mat set of 3
Do you want multiple mats at once? Then choose a sink mat set of 3.
Within the Kinvara assortment, you'll find, among other things, round mats of 29 cm in white, grey, and black.
The square version of 28 × 31 cm is also available as a three-piece set in these colors.
A set is practical when you want to be able to switch or like to have a spare on hand.
Sink mat set of 4
There are also sink mats available in a set of 4.
Within these sets, white, grey, black, and beige are combined.
You can choose between a round version of 29 cm and a square version around the same size.
This way, you have various colors available at once.
Sink mat with drainage holes
A good sink protector mat should not unnecessarily retain water on the bottom.
Therefore, sink mats have an open structure allowing water to drain away.
When placing it, ensure that your sink's drain remains sufficiently accessible.
Remove the mat regularly to clean both the mat and the bottom of the sink.
Rinse mat for glasses and crockery
During washing up, glasses and plates can come into contact with the hard bottom of the sink.
A rinse mat for glasses and crockery creates a softer intermediate layer.
This can be especially pleasant when you regularly hand wash delicate glassware.
Of course, continue to handle glasses and crockery carefully; a sink mat does not prevent every possible damage.
Sink protector mat for daily use
A sink mat is not a complicated kitchen accessory, but its simplicity makes it practical.
Place the mat in the sink and then use your sink as you normally would.
After use, you can remove the mat to rinse away dirt and food residue.
By regularly cleaning both the sink and the mat, you prevent dirt from accumulating for a long time.
What size sink mat do I need?
The correct size depends on the internal dimensions and shape of your sink.
First, measure the flat part of the bottom where the mat will lie.
Then, pay attention to:
- width and length of the sink;
- round or square shape;
- position of the drain;
- available flat bottom space;
- desired color;
- single mat or set;
- space around the mat for water drainage.
A slightly smaller mat that lies neatly flat can be more practical than a too large mat that comes up against the sides.
Round or square sink mat?
Mainly look at the shape of your sink.
For a round sink, a round mat is obvious. For a square or rectangular sink, a square mat generally utilizes more of the bottom surface.
Do you have an unusual sink shape? Then carefully measure which size fits within the flat bottom.
The shape of the mat does not always have to be exactly the same as that of the entire sink.
Cleaning a sink mat
Because a sink mat can come into contact with water, food residues, and dirt daily, regular cleaning is important.
Remove the mat from the sink and remove any remaining debris. At the same time, clean the bottom underneath the mat.
If necessary, let the mat dry thoroughly before putting it back.
Always follow the maintenance instructions for the specific product for cleaning agents and methods.
Why use a sink mat?
A sink mat can offer various practical advantages.
The mat forms an extra layer between crockery and the sink, can reduce direct contact with the bottom, and gives glasses and plates a different surface during washing up.
Additionally, you can adapt the look to your kitchen with different colors.
A small kitchen accessory can thus be surprisingly practical every day.
What to look for when buying a sink mat?
When buying a sink mat, pay particular attention to size and shape.
A beautiful mat has little value if it doesn't fit well in your sink.
Therefore, check:
- dimensions;
- round or square shape;
- position of your drain;
- color;
- number of mats per package;
- maintenance;
- design and openings for water drainage.
Carefully measure your sink beforehand and compare these measurements with the product dimensions.
