Protect Your Deck With A Grill Mat

Published: August 30, 2021 Eric Clark

Summertime fun often starts out back on the patio with the BBQ grill cooking. A good way to keep everything nice and protect your patio from the spills, stains, grease drops, and heat of a grill is by investing in a grill mat. Patios can be susceptible to marring and staining from the smoke, heat, and food on a grill. No matter if the deck is made from wood, composite, stone, or tile it makes sense to protect it with a grill mat.

The best grill mats offer good surface protection and heat resistance while also being exceptionally durable. The grill mats work as an effective flame retardant to minimize any risk of fire from operating the grill. They also provide heavy duty protection from the litany of elements introduced by a BBQ grill like oil, grease, smoke, and charcoal. These grill mats are easy to clean with a hose and soapy water, plus they are durable enough to last several seasons.
