Features & Benefits of the Boretti Floor Mat 120cm

Optimal Protection for Every Surface

The Boretti floor mat protects your patio tiles, wooden deck, concrete floor or balcony floor against all the inconveniences that come with barbecuing. Spattering grease, dripping marinade, falling charcoal pieces and even glowing embers stay on the mat instead of damaging your expensive garden floor. This prevents permanent stains and burn marks that would otherwise require costly repairs. For owners of heavy Boretti barbecues with cast-iron grates, the mat also offers protection against scratches when moving the barbecue.

Spacious Dimensions for Maximum Ease of Use

With 120 centimetres length and 80 centimetres width, this mat offers more than enough space for your barbecue and your work area. You can place your tools, sauces, plates and bowls safely next to the barbecue without spills landing directly on your garden floor. This carefully considered sizing is perfectly suited to most medium to large barbecues, including of course the popular Boretti models with their characteristic cast-iron grates that you know from television programmes such as The Great Garden Makeover.

Durable Plastic for Years of Use

The specially selected plastic material combines flexibility with exceptional resistance to the elements. Unlike cheap alternatives, this mat retains its shape, does not discolour due to UV radiation and does not become brittle after exposure to changing weather conditions. The material is heat-resistant and prevents hot ash or drops of molten grease from seeping through to your floor. Moreover, the surface is easy to sweep clean, so the mat continues to fulfil its protective function season after season.

Lightweight and Easy to Handle

Weighing just 0.45 kilograms, this floor mat is surprisingly light and therefore easy to move. You can quickly unfold or lay out the mat before use, and just as easily tidy and store it afterwards. This also makes the mat ideal for those who move their barbecue regularly or want to clean the mat after use. The light construction does not compromise on sturdiness: the mat stays stable and does not curl at the edges, even in wind.

Applications for the Boretti Barbecue Floor Mat

Protection During the Barbecue Season

Place the floor mat under and around your Boretti barbecue for complete protection whilst grilling. Whether you work with charcoal, briquettes or gas, the mat catches all the spatters, drips and crumbs that would otherwise soil your patio. When using barbecues with cast-iron grates, where grilling often takes place at high temperatures, the mat provides extra peace of mind that your floor stays safe. The mat is large enough to also protect your work area where you prepare ingredients and place tools.

Temporary or Permanent Placement

Thanks to its user-friendly design, you can leave the mat permanently under your barbecue during the season, or place it temporarily only when you are barbecuing. For those who keep the barbecue outside all year round, the mat offers continuous protection against rainwater dripping from the barbecue that would otherwise leave ugly stains. Do you only use the barbecue in summer? Then you can simply store the lightweight mat and only bring it out when it is barbecue weather.

Versatile Placement on Different Surfaces

The Boretti floor mat is suitable for virtually every outdoor floor: ceramic tiles, natural stone, concrete, wood, composite and even grass. This makes it a universal solution regardless of the type of patio or balcony you have. On wooden decking, for example, the mat prevents grease stains that would otherwise soak deep into the wood, whilst on natural stone it prevents burn marks and discolouration. You can even lay the mat on grass for a temporary barbecue spot without the grass underneath dying immediately.

Assembly & Use

Using the Boretti barbecue floor mat requires no assembly or preparation whatsoever. Simply unfold or unroll the mat at the desired location and make sure it lies flat. Next, place your barbecue on the mat, preferably centred so there is sufficient space all around. For optimal protection, you can position the mat so that the largest surface area is on the side where you work the most and where most spatters land.

After each use, we advise cleaning the mat with a damp cloth or soft brush and some washing-up liquid. Stubborn grease stains are best left to soak briefly with a degreaser before wiping them away. Please note: the mat is not dishwasher-safe and must therefore be cleaned by hand. For deeper maintenance, you can spray the mat with the garden hose and let it air dry. The plastic material dries quickly and is immediately ready for use again. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the surface.

At the end of the barbecue season, you can clean the mat, let it dry thoroughly and store it in a dry place. Thanks to the light weight and flexible material, the stored mat takes up little space. You can roll it up or fold it and store it in the shed, garage or storage room, for example. The material is frost-resistant, so if you leave the mat outside during winter, there will be no problems. However, we do recommend moving the barbecue itself to avoid unnecessary strain on the mat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the mat heat-resistant enough for hot embers?

Yes, the plastic material has been developed to withstand the heat and embers that are released during normal barbecue use. Small charcoal pieces or embers that fall out of the barbecue will not damage the mat. However, it is advisable not to leave larger hot objects on the mat for prolonged periods and to remove cooled ash immediately after use.

Can I also use the mat under my Boretti barbecue with cast-iron grates?

Absolutely, the mat is ideally suited for use under all Boretti barbecues, including the heavier models with cast-iron grates. The mat can easily bear the weight and protects your floor against both the weight and any marks that the barbecue's feet might leave. The combination of a Boretti barbecue and matching floor mat gives your outdoor kitchen a professional and well-groomed appearance.

How Often Should I Clean the Mat?

This depends on your frequency of use, but for optimal maintenance we advise removing visible dirt and grease after each barbecue session. A thorough cleaning with water and soap can be done weekly or fortnightly, depending on how intensively you barbecue. Regular cleaning extends the life of the mat and keeps it looking fresh.

Does the Mat Stay in Place or Does It Slide Away?

Due to the weight of the barbecue on it, the mat stays stable in place. The material itself also has sufficient grip on most surfaces to prevent it from sliding easily. On very smooth surfaces or on slopes, it may be helpful to secure the mat with a few heavy objects at the corners, but in most situations this is not necessary.

What Warranty Do I Get on This Floor Mat?

Boretti offers a 2-year factory warranty on this barbecue floor mat, which underlines confidence in its quality and durability. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, so you can enjoy with peace of mind
