Product Details

Product Information

This exciting fibre product is reusable for many firings, safe and can withstand higher temperatures than our standard Fibre Paper, making it a great addition to any studio.

You can also give this versatile fibre blanket more structure with SilkeMat Rigidizer, allowing you to create incredible slumping moulds for multiple firings.

SilkeMat® Fibre Blanket can be used to create:

  • Pot Melt Moulds
  • Vitrigraph Moulds
  • Slumping Moulds
  • Kiln Carving
  • Bas-relief
  • Kiln Lining
  • Firing Surfaces
  • Low Profile Dams
  • Many more projects!

Each blanket is approximately 6mm thick and is available in three different sizes. These can be cut and handled with minimal safety concern.

It is recommended that SilkeMat® is pre-fired to 788°C for 15-20 minutes to burn out any moisture. Full instructions, tips and advice can be found in the product PDFs.

Please note: If using SilkeMat® as a firing surface for COE90 glass (especially opal colours), a light dusting of dry kilnwash over the pre-fired blanket is recommended as an effective separator.

Health & Safety

Warning: Product contains nuisance dust and may cause skin irritation. Avoid inhaling dust/mist and ventilate work area. Wear an FFP3 dust mask and gloves. Clean up with a damp sponge or HEPA vacuum.

Brilliant product for unusual molds-so easy to use and lovely to handle. I'm wondering now why I had my tester piece in my cupboard for so long!

I'm making glass components for multi media found object sculptures. With Silkemat I can make a replica of the shape to slump the glass against for an excellent fit. I use moldable plastic for a negative then shape the Silkemat to the plastic.

This is a fantastic product! So easy to use, so easy to store, you don't have to be careful with it at all. When ever you find yourself without that mold you need - this is your solution.
