Coaster
Coasters - a good protection for the table top
Coasters protect tabletops, on which rings can easily appear during direct contact with drinking vessels. They are equally well suited as a base for candles, which could damage the table or even chests of drawers by dripping wax. Coasters are therefore used in many households with fine furniture and are available in numerous designs. They are usually supplied as practical sets with several exemplars. As protection for the table coasters for bottles are also available.
Especially effective: coasters made of felt and other soft materials
Coasters are made of a wide variety of materials. However, soft textiles such as felt, which do not leave scratches when moved, are particularly suitable for this purpose. In addition, when placing glasses with hot liquids, such as tea or mulled wine, they have the effect of an insulating layer. Coasters made of felt do not allow the heat to reach the tabletop and thus protect heat-sensitive surfaces such as a high-quality paint finish.
