Applications of the fireproof mat

Where does a fireproof mat help? The applications of a fireproof mat are varied. Most often, the FireMat lies under electrical appliances in the office. It also protects the induction hob and the floor in front of the fireplace. Here you will find all areas of use and the matching edition.

1. Fireproof mat for electrical appliances

Coffee machines, kettles and toasters get hot. If an appliance is faulty, the worktop can catch fire in the worst case. That is why the German DGUV Rule 115-401 and the VdS 2000 guideline recommend a non-combustible base for offices. In Bavaria, the VVB also requires this. The FireMat is certified by TÜV SÜD according to DIN EN ISO 11925-2.

Typical appliances

  • Coffee machine and bean-to-cup coffee machine
  • Kettle and toaster
  • Microwave and mini oven
  • Air fryer and food processor
  • Chargers for mobile phones and laptops

For offices, we recommend the Black Edition or the non-slip Silk Edition. If water often drips, the Silk-A Edition is practical. You can read more in the article Do you need a fireproof mat for electrical appliances?.

2. Protection for the induction hob

On the induction hob, place the FireMat between the pot and the glass. This prevents scratches, and boil-overs land on the mat. Afterwards, simply wash it in the machine. The Black Edition and the Silk Edition are suitable for this. The mat is not suitable for ceramic hobs without induction. The article Induction hob without scratches gives tips.

3. Fireplace, outdoor and camping

For outdoor use and in front of the fireplace, there is the Gold Edition. It is coated on both sides and therefore withstands moisture and dirt well. In front of the wood-burning stove, it catches sparks and ash. If embers or soot fall on the mat, simply wipe it with a damp cloth. When you do not need it, roll it up and put it away. It is also suitable as a base for the camping stove as well as for motorhomes and wet areas. It is also highly non-slip and extremely tear-resistant.
