Can this mat be trimmed? I need 28" wide x 48" long to fit under my desk.

I agree with John's answer. You may be able to trim it, but it would probably have sharper edges which may damage the surface it is on, or not be a smooth-looking edge because it would be difficult to cut evenly. It is pretty thick.

If you had the right tools (it's too tough for a pair of scissors, but I an sure the masking tape/circular saw method would do it)

It is fairly thick, has rounded corners and is fairly durable. Not sure it would be easy to 'trim'

I recently bought a office mat for my desk area and I am so glad I did. I WOULD SAY "YES" BUT IT WILL TAKE SOMETHING VERY VERY STURDY & SHARP!

it's very heavy duty 3/16" plastic. it is malleable, however, and shouldn't crack if cut. you could cut it with something like sheet metal shears, i would imagine.

you will need a chain cutter to cut it. it is very thick but that's what makes it so good. would not recommend!

Yes it can be trimmed. Some have cut to desired size used sewing machine to relocate the Velcro liners. I simply cut the screen to desired size for my RV door and used Gorilla tape reattach the Velcro.

Yes, it can be "trimmed". I bought them for a camper with a size of 34 x 72". Length wise it fit, but I had to cut off about 6" in width. So I pulled off it's cloth, washable, zippered cover, then cut one seam on the fire resistant cover (feels like a nomex of some sort) and removed it. I then used a standard kitchen electric knife and a straight edge and cut it down. Slipped the covers back on and viola. Fit perfect in the camper. Took some effort, but certainly cheaper than after market RV mattresses.

It can not be trimmed. Not a good product for your needs. To turn it sideways in your drawer you would need a depth of 11 1/5 inches. minimum.

This mat is thick and has a nicely finished edge. With the proper cutting tool you could definitely cut it to fit, but it might not look as good.

Please be aware that this IS NOT an Official Yes/No answer, simply one buyer trying to help another.1st: Why would you want to trim off edges? Are you trying to make it fit a confined area?2nd: I cannot see a reason Why this would affect the Quality of the products' ability to retain excessive litter when your cat comes out of his/her litter box. 3rd: For me, I LOVE the mat because it TRULY captures excessive litter. All I do is after scooping litter from Pan. I just shake off the excess litter!!Hopes this helps!! :-)

I am not sure what it would look like in cross-section but I see no reason why it could not be trimmed. The key thing, however, would be to ensure that it still provides enough "base" to counteract any tendency of the GPS to tip over.

I know they can be removed, but am not sure about the size (9/16th). I think you could use your hands with what is there already. I like it, is just does not fit under my desk.

The seller 'in print' said you can cut the mat to size. I should think cutting should not void the warranty.

The material that this mat is made from is a foam-type material and can be cut and still be workable. It does have a decorative rim a few inches from the edge, but cutting this will not make the mat fray or where it could not be used.

I'm sure you can cut the pad. But the pad is only 36" x 36". If your table is smaller than that, it's not large enough to play Mah Jongg. There is no way for the racks, the cards and the walls to comfortably fit a table less than 36" x 36". I am a professional interior designer and a standard card/game/Mah Jongg table should not be less than the size I stated.

This mat is thick enough and is easy to trim to fit as directed. It is also easy to wipe clean. We placed it as directed on the lowest rack and it works fine. Hope this helps.

You can cut the mat but not the heating wire itself. It can be shaped a little but a custom order is ideal.

Hi BB, you can cut them if you want to, but the mats were not meant to be cut. They are very flexible, so should be able to sit well in most standard pan sizes. How large is your pan?

No you cannot cut on this. I used an exacto knife on it and it sliced this mat up. Bummer.

You should have no problem cutting 32 x 40 mats. That's the size I bought it for.

Hi Gottaluvlabs, Please not trim the mat. Doing this will expose the fiberglass core which would make it unusable. The only solution is to have overhang, unfortunately. We are currently looking at adding new sizes so you can keep an eye out for that. Happy baking! BrightSpring
