Sink mats help protect your dishware and your sink surface while cleaning. Acting as a soft barrier, they prevent scratches, chips and clattering when rinsing or scrubbing. They’re especially useful in stainless steel or ceramic sinks, where dishes can easily slip or knock.
At Howards, the range includes rubber sink mats, silicone liners and cushioned protectors to suit single or double sinks. Some designs are flat, while others are slightly raised to help with drainage and airflow during use.
