Additional Information
Coir matting is a traditional and extremely effective type of barrier mat made from natural coconut fibres. They provide a very good level of dirt and moisture removal, making them suitable for indoor use or in a covered outdoor porch area that isn't exposed to the elements.
Available up to 200cm wide, our standard coir is 17mm thick for effective scraping properties. Priced per running metre with a maximum length of 1200cm, it is readily available to protect the entrance areas of homes and offices from unwanted debris and soiling. Coir matting, as well as being hardwearing, is easy to maintain and keep clean by simply vacuuming or lifting the mat and shaking the trapped dirt off.
*All of our coir products have a PVC backing*
Please note as this product is made using natural fibres some colour variation can occur – if you are unsure, please contact us for a sample. Products will be cut to our normal manufacturing tolerances.
Whilst coir is suitable for covered outdoor areas, it is not recommended for fully exposed outdoor areas where it may be constantly exposed to rain or direct sunlight. Extended exposure to moisture or UV rays can affect its longevity.
- Vacuum the mat regularly to remove debris that has been deposited on the mat.
- Shedding is normal in the initial month of use. During this period, simply brush or gently shake the mat.
- Avoid using chemicals to clean this product as it may stain the coconut fibres.
- If the mat becomes wet allow it to air/dry naturally.
Coir mats, made from the robust fibres of coconut husks, are an excellent choice for any entrance, effectively trapping dirt and dust. Known for their natural scraping ability, these mats help maintain cleanliness and reduce the ingress of debris into buildings. Our coir doormats come in a variety of colours—blue, green, red, grey, black, and more—allowing you to choose the most suitable mat that will complement your décor.

What to Expect from Our Coir Mat Range
When it comes to entrance matting, you can expect nothing but the best from our product range. Coir entrance mats, often referred to as coconut mats, are an exceptional choice to keep your entranceways dry, clean, and free from dirt and dust. They have gained popularity in both residential and commercial spaces due to their unmatched durability, organic aesthetics, and eco-friendly properties. Our coir products are thoughtfully manufactured from durable materials to provide our customers with a solution that is both functional and attractive. We understand the importance of having a reliable and effective matting solution, and that's why we have put great care into every detail of our matting products.
Coir matting is known for its exceptional ability to scrape dirt and absorb moisture, preventing dirt and debris from being tracked into your building. The natural coconut fibres used in coir mats are naturally coarse and provide excellent scraping qualities, ensuring dirt and moisture are effectively removed from footwear. Additionally, coir is absorbent, helping to minimise the spread of moisture and keeping your floors cleaner and safer.
To provide an extra level of protection against slip hazards, all of our coir products are backed in PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride). The PVC backing serves as a barrier that prevents excess moisture from seeping through the mat and onto the floor. This feature is especially important in high-traffic areas or environments where spills and wet shoes are common. With our non-slip mats, you can have peace of mind knowing that everyone in your workplace is safe and secure.
Whilst PVC-backed mats offer excellent protection indoors, it's important to note that they are not suitable for outdoor use where they might get waterlogged.
Although natural coir has a classic, light brown appearance, we also offer an expanded palette of seven additional colours to cater to your interior design preferences. Our coir mats are available in shades like blue, green, red, grey, black, and more, providing you with a broad range of options to match any setting.
Benefits of Coir Matting
Coir matting is not only practical but also eco-friendly. They are produced from renewable resources, making them a superb choice for environmentally conscious users. Here are more reasons to choose our coconut mats:
Durability
One of the key advantages of coir lies in its remarkable durability. The outer shell of a coconut contains a high amount of lignin, which is an organic polymer found in many plants to increase their lifespan and strength. As a result of this component, the fibres are inherently strong and resilient, being able to withstand heavy usage. They are also resistant to water, rot, and mildew, ensuring that they are long-lasting. The combination of natural fibre strength, resistance to moisture and wear, make coconut mats a highly durable flooring option for both residential and commercial settings. They are an attractive option for a range of individuals and businesses because of their high performance.
Eco-Friendly
They are a natural and eco-friendly option and are perfect for companies wanting to invest in greener alternatives. Environmentally aware companies opt for this type of mat as it is made from coconut husk which is sustainably sourced and 100% biodegradable. The production process is also relatively low impact, with no harsh chemicals or dyes used. If any coir is leftover in the production of the mat, the waste will be used for different purposes, making the manufacturing process sustainable from start to finish. For example, the longer bristles that are not used are commonly used in the agricultural industry to protect vegetation and stabilise soil - this makes coir an almost zero-waste product!
Low Maintenance
Coir is easy to clean and maintain, regular vacuuming or a simple shake outside is usually sufficient to remove loose particles from the surface. In case of spills or stains, a gentle spot cleaning with mild soap and water will do the trick. However, it is essential to avoid excessive moisture, as prolonged exposure to water may affect the longevity of the mats. They are a fantastic choice for businesses that want to keep their flooring looking its best with minimal effort.
Customisable
These mats are available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colours, allowing you to find the perfect fit for your personal design preferences and business requirements. Coir door mats can be used in a range of indoor settings such as schools, public buildings, offices, and even in your home.
Cost-Effective
Coconut mats are one of the most affordable entrance matting options and they are also easy to install. There is no need to employ specialist tools or hire fitting providers, you can simply cut it yourself with everyday tools such as a sharp Stanley knife and ruler. Coir can easily be trimmed to any size, so you can fit it flush within a mat well or lay it loosely on the floor. For those who would like more help, we offer a made-to-measure service where you can acquire a mat trimmed to an exact fit. Our service will save you both time and money, so please feel free to enquire today!
Application Across Various Settings
Coir mats are incredibly versatile and suitable for multiple settings:
Residential Use
They are an excellent choice for residential entrances, providing a warm and welcoming addition to your home. Not only do they effectively keep your interiors clean, but they also enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of your entrance.
Hospitality Sector
Coir door mats create a warm and inviting atmosphere, improving the overall guest experience from the moment they step foot in your establishment. The natural and earthy appeal of coir complements various design schemes, adding a touch of elegance to lobbies, reception areas, and hotel entrances.
Schools and Universities
Educational facilities often face the challenge of maintaining clean and safe entranceways due to the high volume of students and staff entering and exiting the premises. Coir matting proves to be an excellent solution in this context. Their ability to trap dirt, dust, and moisture helps keep the interior spaces cleaner, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
Retail Stores
In the competitive retail industry, creating an exceptional first impression is important. By placing coir matting at the entrance of your store, you can enhance the overall shopping experience for your customers. The mats not only keep the floors clean but also add a touch of sophistication and charm to the space, setting your store apart from the competition.
Reception Areas and Offices
Strategically placed coir matting can significantly improve the appearance of your reception or office space. These mats not only maintain cleanliness by trapping dirt at the door, but they also lend an air of sophistication and professionalism to the area.
Choosing The Right Coir Mat
When selecting a coir mat for your entrance, it's essential to consider factors such as intended use, foot traffic, and the size of the entrance. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Thickness and Density
For high-traffic areas, opting for thicker and denser heavy-duty coir doormat is recommended. These mats offer better durability and are equipped to handle heavy foot traffic without wearing down quickly. Thicker mats also provide additional cushioning and comfort, making them a preferred choice for areas where individuals may stand for longer periods. Our mats are available in 14mm, 17mm, 23mm, and 28mm depths.
Size and Coverage
The size of the entrance and the coverage required are key considerations. It's important to choose a mat that adequately covers the entrance area to ensure maximum effectiveness in trapping dirt and moisture. Opting for a larger mat is beneficial, as it provides a wider surface for individuals to walk on, reducing the chances of dirt being tracked inside.
Installation Requirements
Is your mat going to be loose-laid or fitted within a mat well? We offer our coir door mats in two styles: raw cut edge and ramped rubber edge. Our coir mats with a free edge are perfect for mat well installations, whilst our rubber-edged options are ideal for loose-lay purposes. Our mats with a ramped edge provide improved accessibility, ensuring there are no tripping hazards.
Cleaning Tips
To maintain the look and functionality of your mat, we recommend cleaning it regularly, especially in the colder, winter seasons. Our coir products are incredibly easy to clean, you can:
- Shake the mat outside to get rid of loose debris.
- Vacuum the mat on a very light setting to remove loose fibres and small particles of dirt.
- Use a brush to remove dried mud.
With proper maintenance and care, coir products can last for many years, providing you with a cost-effective and sustainable flooring solution. Overall, these components make coir mats some of the most reliable floor coverings on the market today.

Coir Mat or Coconut Mat?
They are the same thing! Coir mats are also known as coconut mats, as they are manufactured out of coconut fibres. The natural formation of the coconut bristles means they are 100% biodegradable and sustainable. This makes them an excellent option for those who are more environmentally mindful.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are coir door mats installed and used most?
Coir door mats are a versatile and popular type of floor covering for homes and businesses. The durability, natural look, and ability to effectively trap dirt and moisture make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial settings. They are commonly used in office buildings, hotels, restaurants, retail shops, and homes. In these settings, coir mats are often used in high-traffic areas such as lobbies, entrances, and hallways to reduce the volume of debris that is tracked into the building.
How thick should my coir entrance mat be?
One question that often arises when choosing a coir entrance mat is how thick it should be. The thickness of a coir mat can vary depending on the manufacturer and the intended use of the mat. In general, coconut mats range from 1/2 inch to 1 inch in thickness.
Different entranceways will experience different levels of foot traffic, where some areas will need more protection than others. Typically, traditional coir mats are 17mm thick, however, we also stock 14mm, 23mm, and 28mm depths on our website. If you require longevity, we recommend choosing a thicker mat. In general, a thick mat may be more appropriate for high-traffic areas, whilst a thinner mat will be suitable for low-traffic areas.
Does coir shed?
The short answer is yes, coir mats do shed to some extent, mostly when they are new, however, this is normal and should be expected. The amount of shedding can vary depending on several factors, such as the quality of the coir, the manufacturing process, and the intended use. In general, higher-quality coir that has been properly processed and woven together is less likely to shed than lower-quality coir.
That being said, shedding should not be excessive and should not continue after an extended period of time. To minimise shedding, it is important to take care of your mat. This can include regular cleaning, gentle handling, and avoiding exposure to excessive moisture. We also recommend shaking out your coir mat when it is new, to remove any loose fibres before use.
How long will my coir door mat last?
On average, coir door mats can last anywhere from 5 to 7 years with proper care and maintenance. Factors that can affect the lifespan of the mat include the amount of foot traffic it receives, the frequency of cleaning, and the environment in which it is placed.
If your coir doormat is placed in a high-traffic area, such as a busy commercial space or entrance to a home, it may show signs of wear quicker than a mat placed in a low-traffic area. Similarly, if the mat is not regularly cleaned or maintained, it may become damaged or worn out more quickly.
To ensure that your coir mat lasts as long as possible, it is important to clean and maintain it. This can include regular vacuuming or sweeping to remove dirt and debris, as well as spot-cleaning any spills or stains as soon as they occur. It is also recommended to rotate the matting periodically to distribute wear and tear evenly across the fibres.
