No leaks
Anglo American Distributors will again be exhibiting the original Drymate Christmas tree stand mat at Harrogate Christmas and Gift. The company has added an eight piece shelf display and a 24 piece floor stand display unit into its merchandising programme.
The Drymate dark green floor mat is made from a highly absorbent water proof material with ‘zorb-tech’ anti-flow technology. This means that ‘no soak through’ to the bottom layer can occur. It protects floors from spills when watering and it prevents scratches. The Drymate Christmas tree mat is 28ins (70 cms) in diameter and is made 100% in the USA.
