RICHIE 70 x 48 Inch Under-Grill Mat — Large Double-Sided Fireproof, Waterproof BBQ Protector for Decks & Patios

RICHIE's 70 x 48 inch under-grill mat is a large, double-sided, fire-resistant and waterproof pad designed to protect decks, lawns, and patios from embers, grease, and spills during outdoor cooking.

Whether you own a family-sized gas grill, a charcoal smoker, or a backyard fire pit, this oversized grill mat provides broad, continuous coverage so you don’t need multiple smaller pads or overlap seams. Built from alkali-free fiberglass treated with silicone on both sides, the mat resists high temperatures and liquids while folding down for easy storage. Below are practical answers to common buyer questions so you can quickly see how this RICHIE mat will perform in everyday use.

How does this mat protect wooden decks and lawns from heat and embers?

The mat’s core fiberglass layer and dual silicone coating create a heat shield that blocks hot ash, falling embers, and radiant heat from reaching deck boards or grass. Its certified fire-resistant construction reduces the risk of surface scorching and helps contain stray sparks.

• Alkali-free fiberglass core for thermal resistance
• Double-sided silicone finish prevents melting and heat transfer
• Long-term resistance tested to extreme temperatures
• Full 70 x 48" footprint covers common large grills without gaps

Will it handle spills, oil splatter, and routine cleaning easily?

Yes—both sides have a waterproof, oil-resistant silicone surface that prevents grease from soaking in and allows quick cleanup. Most messes wipe off with a damp cloth or spray rinse; no heavy scrubbing or chemical cleaners are required.

• Non-porous silicone surface repels oil and water
• Wipes clean or rinses with a garden hose
• Stain-resistant finish keeps the mat looking new
• Foldable design drains and dries quickly after rinsing

Is this mat durable and safe enough for regular backyard grilling?

The RICHIE mat includes reinforced stitched edges to resist tearing and curling, and it’s been submitted to vertical combustion and safety tests for added assurance. It’s designed to withstand repeated use near gas flames, charcoal embers, and portable fire pits without cracking or degrading.

• Stitched, reinforced borders reduce wear from heavy grills
• Certified fire-resistance and EU food-grade reports available
• Long-term heat tolerance that prevents warping
• Compact folding for transport to tailgates or camping

Which grills and outdoor situations work best with this mat?

This oversized protector fits a wide range of setups—from large gas and charcoal grills to Blackstone griddles, smokers, and backyard fire pits. Use it on patios, balconies (where permitted), lawns, and at outdoor events to catch ash, grease, and grease-fueled messes.

• Compatible with gas, charcoal, electric, and flat-top grills
• Large enough for family-sized and commercial-style units
• Portable for camping trips, tailgates, and seasonal storage
• Works on wood, composite decking, concrete, pavers, and grass

Who this is for: If you frequently grill for groups or use larger cooking equipment outdoors, want a low-maintenance, safety-tested surface protector, or need one mat to cover a large deck area without seams, the RICHIE 70 x 48 inch under-grill mat is designed for you. It’s especially useful for homeowners who prefer fuss-free cleanup, renters who want to protect outdoor surfaces, and outdoor cooks who move equipment between patios, lawns, and campsites.
