Embermont Silicone Under-Sink Mat – Waterproof Cabinet Liner with a Raised Lip, 86 x 56 cm

• The lip is the whole point. A raised edge runs all the way round, so a slow drip from a waste trap pools on the mat instead of soaking into the cabinet floor and swelling the chipboard.
• One piece of silicone. Flexible, waterproof and seamless, so there is no stitched edge or laminated backing for water to creep under.
• Rolls out and lies flat. It beds down into the cabinet under its own weight and stays put, with no adhesive and nothing to cut unless your cabinet is smaller.
• Takes what gets stored under a sink. Bottles of cleaner, a washing-up liquid refill, a bin bag roll. Anything that weeps goes onto the mat rather than onto the wood.
• Wipes or rinses clean. Lift it out, tip it into the sink, rinse it and put it back. No scrubbing a stained cabinet base that nobody can see until it is too late.
• 86 x 56 cm. Sized for a standard double cabinet under a kitchen sink, and trimmable with scissors for a narrower one.

Why under a sink is the worst cupboard in the house

It holds the plumbing, it is dark, and nobody looks in it until the floor is soft. A slow leak from a trap or a weeping bottle of cleaner does its damage for weeks before anyone notices. A lipped mat turns that into a puddle you can see and tip away.

Fitting it

Clear the cabinet, wipe it dry and lay the mat in with the lip turned up. Work it around the waste pipe, and if the cabinet is narrower than the mat, cut it to size with household scissors.

Not only under a sink

The same mat works in a utility cupboard, under a boiler, in a bathroom vanity or on a garage shelf where tins of something are stored.
