Premium Silicone Under Sink Mat (Taupe, 31x22 (for 33 Kitchen Base Cabinets))

This is an essential product that needs to be placed below all sinks. Within the last year, we discovered two slow under-sink faucet leaks…one of which destroyed the wall and the entire wood vanity as well as causing mold, requiring serious remedies. The other leak was discovered before too much damage could take place, so highly recommend this product.

Not sure why a piece of flat silicone could cost so much, but its worth the piece of mind to have protection in event of leaks from the kitchen pipes. Its a half inch wider than our cabinet, so not a perfect fit, but it covers corner to corner, at least.

We bought this product a while back and it finally paid off. Our garbage disposal broke and this liner save our cabinet .

Looks clean, easy to put under the sink, better than having a leak and rotting wood!

Nice thick silicon. Well built. Dents from being folded faded within a week.

Amazing design and material quality! Thank you.

The mat seems sturdy. I hope nothing ever leaks but if it does the hopefully this will save me from water damage. Two stars were removed for packaging. If I order a $50 mat, please don’t send me a folded up mess. I don’t want to wait weeks for the creases to disappear. Ship it in a flat and firm cardboard box.

When we moved from our “mid-century modern” apartment, where we had lived for over 50 years, with its stainless steel kitchen countertops to a brand new retirement cottage, the granite countertops in the new kitchen were driving me crazy. I have always admired the maxim coined by the great architect Louis Sullivan and promoted by his protege Frank Lloyd Wright and others that form follows function. To me, granite countertops were an example rather of form follows fashion. Granite is very pretty, so if you plan to have an open kitchen and want your guests to admire its beauty, it may be a good choice. But if your goal is to have a kitchen best suited for actually preparing food, stainless steel seems to be a far better choice. Stainless steel is installed with upward curved edges so that liquids don’t run off the edges, and the area around the sink is slightly sloped so that those liquids run down into the drain. It is essentially impervious to anything you put on it, so without a yearly sealing, it will not be stained by fruit juices (or, as we discovered, by the dyes in dish-washing liquid that immediately stained the granite after it leaked from a container and sat unnoticed on the countertop for a week or so.) We could not replace the granite countertops, and we would be preparing our own meals because we did not (at our preference) have a “food plan” at this retirement community. So, to preserve my sanity, I went looking for a hack that would provide on top of the granite the kind of usable work area to which I was accustomed with stainless steel. After an extensive Web search, that revealed nothing designed for the purpose, this mat seemed like a good possibility. It would provide the raised edges to contain liquids during food prep. Its surface would withstand the heat from a saucepan taken from the stove or a glass cooking bowl from the microwave. It could be easily washed down, with the water running off the edge into the sink, and wiped dry. (I thought that I would need to trim the edge at the sink to let liquids run off, but it turned out that it could be easily bent down.) My wife was not enthusiastic about this latest crazy idea of mine. “You are going to put WHAT? A thing that was made to go UNDER a sink? On top of my beautiful countertop?” But she quickly became an admirer of it. As you can see in the accompanying photo, it looks quite attractive. The only concession that I needed to make was to agree that the mat would be used to prepare dinner and left in place overnight for breakfast prep, then removed so that it would not obscure the beautiful countertop during the day. (Our lunches require very little kitchen work.) And although the mat is of a generous size, it can easily be removed and stored for the day on top of the washing machine in the adjoining utility room.

It was exactly what I was looking for to protect under my sink from any water

We have had several slow water leaks under our sink that were really hard to notice. With this mat, it will easily hold many small leaks/drips. We no longer have to worry about the cabinet base getting wet and not noticing till too late. We have teamed this with a water alarm so we should be set. It fits under our sink perfectly. It did ship folded but it had no long lasting creases like others have had. We are very happy with it.
