Description
It doesn’t take much heat to damage several surfaces. Grass can easily wither even with mild heat, wood can warp, while composite decking either reflects or absorbs heat. But did you know that it only takes about 500°F for a concrete slab to incur noticeable heat damage? Metal fire pits can achieve temperatures up to 800°F, radiating up to 400°F of heat towards the floor or deck. If you’re using composite decking, it will be melted by the time the fire pit reaches maximum temperature. A fireproof mat serves as a radiant thermal barrier that reflects up to 95% of radiant heat. This ensures that the mat and the surface where it rests don’t absorb heat from the fire pit. In fact, the mat remains at body temperature while under the fire pit! This is possible through the aluminizing process used on both sides of the fireproof mat. It works similarly to thermal aluminum insulation panels. But unlike insulation panels, these fireproof mats can withstand very high temperatures – up to 1300°F! There are several things to take note of in order to ensure that the mat functions efficiently. First, ensure that the mat is the right size for your fire pit. The fireproof mat will work best on fire pits with circular bases that are at least an inch smaller than the mat’s 24-inch or 36-inch diameter and all four feet of the fire pit’s stand should rest within the mat’s circumference. Also, the fire pit’s bottom should not rest directly on the mat. The mat is designed to reflect radiant heat, not direct heat. Besides, the fire pit’s bottom can exceed the fireproof mat’s rated temperature. Aside from being heat and fireproof, this mat is also weatherproof. You can leave it out in rain, snow, and pounding sunshine. It’s made to last with highly durable materials and quality stitching. Dripped marshmallow or hot cocoa on your fireproof mat? Don’t worry it will easily wipe off. This fireproof mat is convenient and highly portable. You won’t need to create makeshift barriers to protect
