Worktop protects essential surfaces with elegant, durable and customizable woven coverings that feature a non-slip and water-resistant foam backing. It can be applied in various spaces, including professional kitchens, beverage stations, in-room dining, tray liners, meeting rooms, banquets and corporate kitchenettes. A Michelin-starred restaurant estimated that it spent $33,600 per year on tape-and-tablecloth for the pass before converting
to Worktop.

SPECIAL SHAPES
Worktops can be made in any shape. Those that are not a standard rectangle, square or circle require a template or technical drawing as well as a waiver on file. Cut-outs can be made for sinks, garbage cans and hotel pan storage.
BACKING
The woven textile of choice will be bonded to a water-resistant, non-stick, non-slip backing of 0.11" / 2.8mm foam.
BINDING
The binding tape used is made from a synthetic multi filament
woven material that does not encourage mold
or mildew.
HEAT LAMPS
Before ordering Worktop, check the temperature of the intended surface using a laser thermometer. Note that stainless steel and darker colors absorb more heat. It is recommended that the exposure temperature does not exceed 200°F / 93°C. Plates from a warmer or oven could exceed this heat tolerance and cause the fabric to melt. When using with oven ware, trivets are recommended.
CLEANING
To clean, use a mild detergent or sanitizer and wipe with a damp cloth. If Worktop is heavily soiled, treat with spot-cleaner or bleach-based cleanser and scrub stains with soft-bristle brush. Rinse with water and allow to dry. Worktop may also be soaked in a 1:10 bleach solution. A degreaser may be used to remove oil residue. When cleaning the surface under the Worktop, allow that surface to dry completely before placing the Worktop upon it.
STORAGE
To store, roll up Worktop with woven side facing outwards. Tie loosely or secure each end with plastic wrap.
