Silicone, fiberglas, and other such baking mats have a higher heat resistance, and are re-usable. They also provide a non-slip and non-stick working surface that makes them convenient for other kitchen tasks as well.
Quilters and other crafters use liners made with fiberglass to protect surfaces, such as keeping fusible from sticking to the ironing board or the iron, and easily removing glue drips.
