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
ENJOY YOUR FIRE PIT WITHOUT WORRIES - The warmth emanating from the fire pit or fireplace gives both comfort and joy but the cozy atmosphere can immediately turn hazardous when the heat from fire pits can cause the grass to wither and other surfaces to incur damage. Don't wait for the worst-case scenario to happen. Keep safe with a simple fireproof mat solution for your portable fire pits.
HEAT SHIELD FOR ALL SURFACES - Provide a safety heat barrier for your indoor or outdoor fire pits. This fireproof mat works on any surface whether it be bare ground, grass, sand, concrete, wood, and composite materials. Heat damage may not be obvious to several surfaces but with constant use, fire pits can cause irreparable damage to decking and flooring.
ROUND FIREPROOF MAT FITS MOST PORTABLE FIRE PITS - Whether you have a wood-burning fire pit with grill, a copper bowl fire pit, a portable propane outdoor fire pit, or a natural gas fire pit, this fireproof mat is here to keep you safe. But in order to achieve the best results, all four legs of the fire pit should be on the mat. If you find this mat's 24-inch diameter to be a tight squeeze, you can choose our 36-inch fireproof mat variation.
MADE OF FIRE RETARDANT MATERIAL - This fireproof mat can withstand temperatures of up to 1300°F - way over the maximum heat that portable fire pits can produce! And don't worry about the mat absorbing the heat, it will remain at body temperature as it can reflect up to 95% of the radiant heat. Not only that, this fireproof mat provides double protection! Both sides of the mat have aluminized surfaces for better insulation. It's just like you buying 2 mats for the price of one!
CAUTION: This fireproof mat is not suitable for use on fire pits or stoves that have heating sources that will be in direct contact with the mat's surface. The fireproof mat should be at least 1 inch from the heat source. Direct contact will negate the mat's effectiveness.
