We will always try to lead healthier lifestyles. Preserving the environment and improving our quality of life have become the new social priorities.

The kitchen, a room that was once simply meant for cooking and having dinner has become an interactive cultural space where families & friends socialise and enjoy each other's company.

The lifestyles of busy modern families who tend to hang out in the kitchen rather than the living room has created a demand for more hygienic kitchens - in response to your changing consumer needs, Trends Kitchens scours the globe to bring you products required for modern multifunctional kitchens.

Today, silversafe matting is the fruit of such efforts. It was developed to create an environmentally friendly, clean kitchen, that is free of heavy dust & chemicals.

Not just for the kitchen

Because of silversafe matting's versatility, it has countless applications outside of the kitchen too:

From creating safe, hygienic spaces in the medical sector, to secure non-slip environments on boats. In fact, virtually any surface that needs to be hygenic and secure can benefit from silversafe matting.

The unique qualities of Silver

Silver has long been known to have antibacterial properties like other heavy metals, but without the danger to humans of lead or mercury.

Before the advent of antibiotics, silver had widespread use in medical procedures and it has always had it's place in food preparation - being used in everything from the highest quality cutlery to plates and vessels. More recently, nano-particles of silver have proven benificial in a number of applications, from medical to culinary.

Our silversafe matting has natural anti microbial properties that destroy 99.9% of bacteria including E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, the leading causes of food poisoning. It is also effective in repelling bugs such as ants, and thus helps maintain a clean and hygienic kitchen. The surface has been finished with a dimpled surface in order to prevent kitchen utensils from slipping and damaging each other, and a middle foam layer adds a sound proof quality.

If you want to promote safety and hygiene in your home, look no further than silversafe matting, available exclusively in New Zealand from Trends Kitchens.

Certification

Silversafe matting is certified by an independant internationally recognized standards organisation.

Silversafe matting holds a certificate of conformity from TÜV Rheinland, a standards organization that specializes in the highest international quality assurance.

This evaluation, based on randomly proformed spot tests, notes that 24 hours after exposing both Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli (common causes of food poisoning) to a sample of the silversafe matting product, the bacteria were no longer detected.

In another evaluation, silversafe matting was confirmed to contain no detectable traces of heavy metals.
