{"product_id":"curved-checkered-bath-mat","title":"Curved checkered bath mat","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA curved checkered bath mat with a wavy cloud outline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBig blocks of black and cream in a loose check, except the squares are not quite squares — the ones at the edges have rounded ends, and the outline of the mat ripples instead of running straight. It is the sort of design that looks simple and takes a lot of getting right. The build underneath is the serious part: a surface that pulls water through, a diatom foam core that spreads it to evaporate, and a textured rubber sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 x 100 cm (17.7 x 39.4 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWavy cloud outline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack and cream\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrinted oversized check with rounded cells\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSurface layer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTechnical cloth, draws moisture straight through\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCore\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubber diatom foam — absorbs instantly, evaporates quickly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSole\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTextured anti-slip rubber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChemicals\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo substances of very high concern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA check that is not a kitchen tablecloth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale is what separates the two. A small check reads as gingham and belongs on a picnic; blown up to blocks this size it reads as graphic design, and the rounded ends on the outer cells stop it feeling rigid. Black and cream is also the one colour pairing that works in literally any bathroom — it picks up black taps and frames, and it does not have to agree with your tiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe wavy edge is doing a job\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurved shower trays, round-fronted baths, and basins on legs: bathrooms have more curves in them than most rooms, and a hard rectangle fights all of them. An outline that ripples sits comfortably against a quadrant enclosure and makes the 45 x 100 cm footprint look chosen rather than squeezed into the gap. It is also the detail that makes people ask where the mat came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it stay dry between showers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat is what the diatom foam layer is for — it takes the water off the surface and spreads it across the whole mat so it evaporates rather than sitting in one wet patch. You step on it, the footprint fades, and it is ready for the next person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put it in the washing machine?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Wipe or rinse the surface and leave it to dry flat, and keep it away from heat — a hot wash or a radiator hardens the rubber sole and can lift the wavy edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee more shapes like this in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/curved-bath-mats\"\u003ecurved bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e, or browse more in this colour in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/collections\/black-bath-mats\"\u003eblack bath mats\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bath mat","offers":[{"title":"45x100cm","offer_id":55230872682839,"sku":"14:10#4;183:200007736#45x100cm","price":52.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1046\/3733\/3847\/files\/S61b591d03f0148ce8f0655ad1004a700B.webp?v=1790948426","url":"https:\/\/bath-mat.co.uk\/products\/curved-checkered-bath-mat","provider":"Bath mat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
