The design of your doormat should be top-of-mind when looking for one. You will want the mat to match your home’s decor, especially if it is going to be on your front door.

That shouldn’t mean that this is the only factor to be considered. It is important to think about the mats’ durability. A durable mat will withstand constant foot traffic and be washable multiple times without affecting its shape or colour. Your mat will last longer and be worth its price.

Coir matting is known for its long-lasting durability. Coir doormats made from natural, biodegradable materials make them a favourite of eco-conscious homeowners.

What does a coir doormat look like?

Coir comes from the coconut shell outer husks. Coir is made up of fibers that are separated and processed into yarn-like strings.

Coconut husk fibres have a remarkable durability, making them an excellent choice to make mats. These natural fibres are extremely resistant to water since they are from sub-tropical areas. Coir can take saltwater or fresh water, and it still works as a rug. Coir is also resistant to mold and mildew. These are two common problems for mats placed in moist areas like the bathroom.

Coir doormats are also resistant to fading. You can place them outside on your front doors or any other area that receives direct sunlight.

What other benefits are there to using coir doormats for?
