Benefits of using coasters in the home
Coasters catch spills from cups and glasses, protecting your table. This is especially important for tables made of delicate materials such as wood, marble or granite. How often does glass and copper leave unsightly marks and scratches? Glass coasters create a barrier between the table and your drinks, preventing this. Hot drinks can also damage the table surface, especially if the table is made of wood or plastic. Glass coasters can act as an insulator and protect the table from heat damage.
Coasters are available in a variety of styles, materials and colours, allowing you to choose the ones that fit perfectly with your decor. They can add an extra touch of style and elegance to your table.
Using coasters for glasses shows that you care about the details and that you want to create a pleasant and inviting atmosphere for your guests.
There are also a lot of practical benefits to using coasters. They provide a surface with friction, preventing glasses and cups from sliding around on the table, which can lead to accidents. Coasters can also dampen the sound of placing glasses and cups on the table, which can be nice if you want a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. Most coasters are easy to clean with a damp cloth or in the dishwasher.
Different materials and styles
Coasters are available in a variety of materials, depending on what you like and the occasion you want to use them for. The styles vary from minimalist and simple to patterned and colourful. You can find coasters that match your other decor or choose coasters that stand out and become a nice detail on the table.

What materials are difficult to use as coasters?
Although most materials can be used as coasters, not all materials are recommended.
Untreated wood can absorb liquid from copper and glass. This can lead to stains, warping and even mold growth. If you want to use wooden coasters, make sure they are sealed or painted. This makes them waterproof.
Cork is a natural material that can also absorb liquid. It is less susceptible to stains than wood. However, it may darken and lose its shape over time. This happens when it is exposed to a lot of moisture.
Fabric coasters are soft and inviting. However, they can also become stained and moldy. This happens if they are not cleaned regularly. If you want to use fabric coasters, choose a pattern that is easy to clean and dries quickly.
Metal coasters conduct heat from cups and glasses, causing damage to furniture or surfaces. They can also cause condensation to form on the bottom of the cup or glass, resulting in water rings.
Stone coasters are also heat conductive, but are usually not as problematic as metal coasters. Choose a type of stone that is known to be heat resistant, such as: B. Granite or marble.
Plastic coasters are cheap and easy to clean, but they can be fragile and broken easily. They can also contain harmful chemicals that leach into your food or drinks.
Although glass coasters look elegant, they are also very fragile and will break if dropped. They can also scratch the table surface.
