Personally, I'd not trust that one either, not without a stated R-value.
There's a decent write up on R-values here, pay particular attention to which standard manufacturers are using. As a decent rule of thumb, for year-round use in the UK (assuming you're not doing winter mountaineering in Scotland), an R-value of 2.4 or more using ASTM FF3340-18 should be fine (4 or more under the old rating systems).
If you're only planning on milder weather, you could consider a less effective mat doubled up with some CCF, but this will add bulk and faff.
Bear in mind that you'll pretty much never have a mat that is "too hot", unlike sleeping bags where you wouldn't want to use a 4-season bag in the height of summer.

Having checked their website, it seems to be air only, with no insulating material. As such, it'll set up convection currents which will transfer heat away from your body and into the ground. I would not recommend this.
If you do use something like this, consider using a light mat of closed cell foam (CCF) on top of it for insulating purposes. -
I've got an old Alkpit stem cell. It's a prototype, so the velcro loops are sewn in place rather than on adjustable webbing.
Or, a Restrap stem bag. Used once, unmarked.
Also, I've got an old Planet X framebag. Approx 50cm along the top where it would sit under the toptube, 20cm down along the seat tube.
Let me know if any are of interest? -

How was the route? Looks like a nice one, and the notes seemed to mention lots of good beer stops...
