Your entrance mats may seem like an afterthought, but they’re actually the first thing people see when they walk into your business—and the first line of defence against dirt and wear. But did you ever consider that your choice of matting can also make a real difference to the environment? This is where coir mats come into their own: a simple, eco-friendly solution with a lot more going for them than you might expect.
At Commercial Matting, we specialise in supplying high-quality natural premium coir matting to businesses across the UK. But we don’t just sell coir mats because they’re effective (although they absolutely are). We also like to promote them because they’re one of the greenest choices you can make—and because we believe that every small step towards sustainability counts.
What’s So Special About Coir?
Coir mats (sometimes referred to as coconut matting) are made from coconut husks. The tough, fibrous material is what makes these mats so durable and effective. The husks are harvested as a by-product of the coconut industry, so nothing goes to waste. Once processed, the fibres are woven into a dense, durable material that’s perfect for catching dirt, mud, and moisture before they ever make it into your building.
For businesses concerned about sustainability (and who isn’t these days?), this makes coir matting a standout option. Because it’s made from natural fibres, coir is biodegradable and doesn’t contribute to the mountain of synthetic waste clogging up our planet. And since coconuts grow abundantly in tropical regions, the supply is sustainable and renewable.
Why Coir Matting Fits Modern Business Values
More and more clients and customers expect the companies they work with to prioritise sustainability. By opting for eco-friendly products like coir mats, you’re demonstrating that your business takes its environmental impact seriously.
And let’s be honest, it’s not just about the message you send to others. It feels good to make a responsible choice, knowing you’re contributing to a cleaner, greener planet—even in small ways.
Easy to Care For, Built to Last
One of the many perks of coir matting is how easy it is to care for. Designed for indoor use, coir mats require minimal maintenance to stay looking and performing their best. A simple vacuum over the bristles regularly will remove dirt and debris from the natural fibres, keeping your entrance area clean and presentable. Thanks to their robust construction, coir mats are manufactured with a pvc backing which helps them resist wear and tear, even in high-traffic areas, meaning you won’t need to replace them frequently. It’s hassle-free maintenance that saves you time while ensuring your mat continues to do its job brilliantly.
Plenty of options to choose from
Coir mats come in a range of options to fit different requirements. You’ll find traditional coir mats in their classic natural tones, as well as coloured coir mats for businesses looking to match a specific design. Rubber-edged coir mats are great for added sturdiness in high-traffic areas, while made-to-measure mats ensure the perfect fit for recessed mat wells or awkward spaces. Whether it’s a standard size or cut to size coir matting that you need, there’s a coir mat to suit every entrance.
How Our Coir Mats Stand Out
At Commercial Matting, we’ve curated a range of coir matting products designed specifically with businesses in mind. Our coir entrance matting and coir doormats are designed for heavy duty use and made from natural coconut coir. Whether you’re outfitting a high-traffic retail space or creating a polished entrance for an office building, we have the perfect coir door mats for you.
Take our PVC-backed coir mats, for example. These are perfect for fitting into recessed entrance mat wells, creating a sleek, flush finish that’s both practical and stylish. Or perhaps you’re after a cut to size option—ideal if you need something bespoke to fit an awkward doorway or unusually shaped space.
And if you’re worried about hardiness, don’t be. Coir mats might be natural, but they’re anything but delicate. They’re built to withstand heavy footfall, making them a favourite for everything from corporate lobbies to busy retail stores.
Proudly Made in the UK
At Commercial Matting, we take pride in manufacturing all our coir mats right here in the UK. By keeping production local, we’re able to maintain exceptional quality control while also reducing the carbon footprint associated with overseas shipping. It’s a win-win: you get a premium product that supports the British economy, and together, we’re cutting down on the environmental impact. Plus, our UK-based manufacturing allows us to offer flexible customisation options and faster turnaround times, so your business gets exactly what it needs, exactly when it needs it.
If your current entrance matting is due for an upgrade, or if you’re just looking to bring a bit of eco-friendly charm to your business, we’d love to help. You can find our full range of coir mats here, or get in touch to discuss your specific requirements. Our friendly team is always happy to help.
