Are Coir Door Mats Good?

 If you are looking to buy a new door mat, you have probably already come across a confusing selection of potential door mat materials. Rubber, plastic, nylon and coir. What is the best option for you?

Only you can make that decision, but we can help you make sure it’s an informed one by letting you know the pros and cons of each door mat material. We aim to provide free, unbiased matting advice to anyone that needs it, so let’s talk about coir.

Good For House or Office

The main reason you need a door mat is to keep your house or office clean. Coir Mats are one of the most effective scrapers on the market. Their naturally strong coconut fibres quickly scrape the soles of shoes with minimal effort from the wearer.

Coir door mats not only remove dirt and debris, but they also absorb a lot of water. Every particle removed from shoes is then stored within the structure of the mat, out of sight until you clean it.

Good For Environment

The main reason for coir's popularity, aside from its excellent cleaning properties, is its low environmental impact. Coir is a waste by-product of the coconut industry derived from coconut husk.

Every year, about 60 million coconuts are produced, but once their flesh is taken and processed, the remainder is discarded. Coir production allows us to put that by-product to good use, making items that would otherwise require the usage of fossil fuels.

The primary reason to acquire a door mat is to keep your home or workplace clean, but there's another important reason as well. 

Slips, trips, and falls account for a major amount of workplace injury claims, and the correct entrance mat can considerably reduce them. The Coir Mats are the better option for that

Money Saver

Coir door mats come at a great price, especially when you consider how much time and money you save cleaning. Add the cost of alternative materials on the planet into the mix and it’s clear that coir is one of the best door mat materials on the market.

Custom sizes and personalisation usually cost extra, but that is the same for any mat material.

Coir is one of the best door mat materials because it looks good, works really well and has a positive impact on the environment. Coir’s absorbent yet durable fibres are fantastic scrapers, keeping your floors clean and your people safe as long as they live.
