Coir Mats: Natural Elegance for Every Entrance

At Entrance Matting Ireland, we believe first impressions start at the front door. That’s why our coir mats do more than just trap dirt. They offer a welcoming, earthy vibe that instantly makes a space feel more inviting. Made from the humble coconut husk, coir matting is both beautiful and practical. Whether it’s a cozy cottage or a busy shop entrance, our mats stand up to the mess while looking great.

What Are Coir Mats?

Coir mats are made from the coarse fibers found in coconut husks. Tough by nature and biodegradable, they’re a smart choice for homes and businesses that care about the environment. Our coir mats are designed to scrub off dirt and debris before it gets inside, helping you keep your floors clean and your space tidy.

Origin of Coir Fiber

Coconuts don’t just grow on trees—they bring you one of the most sustainable fibers in the world. Most coir comes from places like India and Sri Lanka, where the husks are carefully processed into durable fibers. At Entrance Matting Ireland, we choose only high-quality coir for mats that are built to last. It’s not just a mat—it’s a tradition passed through generations.

How Coir Mats Are Made

The process of turning a coconut husk into a functional, elegant doormat is pretty fascinating. The husks are soaked, beaten, and spun into strong threads. These threads are then woven or tufted onto backing material. Whether hand-loomed or machine-cut, every coir mat from us carries a story of craftsmanship and care.

Types of Coir Mats

  • Woven Coir Mats: Classic, handcrafted feel. Great for front porches.
  • Brush Mats: Firm and coarse by design, these are excellent at tackling stubborn grime.
  • PVC-Backed Coir Mats: Stable, strong, and ideal for heavy use.
  • Printed Coir Mats: Add charm with patterns, colors, or custom messages.
  • Coir Mat Rolls: Perfect for covering larger entryways or corridors.

Why People Love Coir Matting

It’s not just about looking good. Coir matting comes with real benefits:

  • Eco-Friendly: 100% natural and breaks down without harming the planet.
  • Hard-Wearing: These mats can take a beating and still look fresh.
  • Great at Trapping Dirt: The rough texture works like a natural scraper.
  • Stays Put: Options with PVC backing grip the floor and don’t budge.
  • Customizable: You can shape, print, and size them to fit your vibe.

With our mats, your doorway stays cleaner, safer, and more welcoming.

Where Coir Mats Work Best

Our coir mats are made to fit into all kinds of spaces:

  • Homes: Bring a bit of rustic charm and personality to your front door.
  • Shops & Offices: Keep floors clean and look professional.
  • Hotels & Cafes: Greet guests with style and branding.
  • Factories & Workplaces: Durable enough for heavy footfall.
  • Recessed Matwells: Custom-fit options for a seamless look.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Use

Although coir mats are incredibly adaptable, they’re best suited to sheltered entrances or indoor use. A bit of protection from the rain helps them stay in top shape longer.

Custom Coir Mats with Personality

Want something a little more "you"? We do custom coir mats with your logo, design, or message. They’re a smart way to show off your brand right at the doorstep.

Logo Printing & Design Options

Choose from simple greetings to full logos. Our custom mats combine style with function. Whether you want your business name or a cheeky welcome, we’ll make it happen. Our design team will guide you from concept to final product.

Personalised Gifts and Event Mats

Need a housewarming gift or a quirky mat for a wedding or event? We’ve got you. Custom coir mats make thoughtful, practical, and truly unique presents.

Coir vs. Synthetic Mats—Which Is Better?

Here’s the honest comparison:

  • Better for the Earth: Coir is natural. Plastic mats? Not so much.
  • Long-Term Value: Coir may cost a bit more upfront, but it lasts.
  • Visual Appeal: The organic finish of coir simply stands out.
  • Less Fuss: Simple to clean, no special sprays needed.
  • Sustainable Supply Chain: We work with eco-conscious suppliers.

So, unless you love plastic, coir wins hands down.

Picking the Right Coir Mat

Here’s what to consider when finding the right mat:

  • Thickness: Go thicker for heavy dirt, thinner if there’s a door swing.
  • Backing: PVC holds firm. No backing is best for mat wells.
  • Size Matters: Measure up! We offer made-to-measure options.
  • Location: Indoor? Covered porch? We’ll guide you to the right pick.

Ideal Sizes and Dimensions

Need a mat that fits just right? No problem. We cut coir matting to the size you need. Whether it’s for a narrow hallway or a big double door, we’ll make sure it fits like a glove.

Backing Material Explained

  • PVC Backing: Adds grip, reduces shedding.
  • Natural Rubber: Good grip and biodegradable.
  • No Backing: Perfect for recessed areas and traditional looks.

Keeping Your Coir Mat in Top Shape

Here’s how to make it last longer:

  • Give it a good shake outside now and then.
  • Vacuum when needed to lift trapped dust.
  • Don’t soak it. Coir doesn't like staying wet.
  • If it gets damp, let it dry fully before use.
  • Rotate occasionally for even wear.

With a little love, your mat will last years.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
