What is Coir Matting and Why is it So Popular?

Coir matting is a popular choice for home and business entrances and for good reason. Coir comes from natural coconut husk fibres. It has a tough texture and great scraping power. Coir matting handles muddy boots, wet shoes, and daily dirt very well. But its appeal goes beyond just functionality. More eco-conscious consumers are now opting for sustainable materials. As a result, coir is becoming a popular choice for recyclable and biodegradable flooring.

A Natural Product with Tough Performance

What makes coir matting stand out is its impressive durability. The coarse fibres effectively scrape mud and debris off shoes before they come into your home or business. But coir doesn’t just scrape; it absorbs too. Its natural structure draws in moisture fast, lowering the chance of wet floors and slips. Coir matting works well in all UK weather. Whether it's a rainy day in Glasgow or a muddy path in rural Yorkshire, it’s built to handle it.

Why Coir Matting from Flooring UK Stands Out

Not all manufacturers create coir matting equally. At Flooring UK, we have imported our coir matting from Kerala, India since 2013. Our strong relationship with manufacturers gives us control over product quality, ethical sourcing, and environmental standards. When you buy from us, you’re not just getting a mat. You’re investing in a high-quality product that helps support sustainable production.

Cut to Size, Just the Way You Need It

A major benefit of buying from Flooring UK is the option to order coir matting cut to size. We can cut your matting to the nearest 25cm, starting from 1 metre. This applies whether you're adding a matwell in a home hallway or at a commercial entrance. We offer widths of 1 metre and 2 metres. You can also choose from thicknesses of 17mm, 23mm, or 30mm. This way, you get the perfect fit.

Wide Range of Colours to Suit Every Style

Who says durable can’t be stylish? Our coir matting comes in several colours: classic natural, sleek black, warm brown, rich red, and modern grey. This means you don’t have to compromise on design to benefit from practicality. No matter if you prefer rustic charm or modern minimalism, there's a coir colour for your space.

Why More Homes and Businesses Are Choosing Coir

From busy households to bustling shop entrances, coir matting has proven its worth in high-footfall areas. It's not just affordable and effective; it also provides a sustainable choice instead of synthetic mats. Coir is the preferred choice for entrance matting. It combines toughness, moisture control, and eco-friendliness, giving you functionality while staying true to your values.

Frequently Asked Questions About Coir Matting

Q1: Can coir matting be used outdoors?

A: Coir matting is best suited for indoor use or sheltered areas. Though it’s strong and absorbs moisture, too much rain can shorten its lifespan.

Q2: How do I measure for coir matting?

A: Measure the area you want to cover and order to the nearest 25cm from 1 metre upwards. Remember to account for the width of the roll (either 1m or 2m) and allow for trimming if needed.

Q3: What’s the difference between the thicknesses?

A: Thicker coir (23mm or 30mm) feels more luxurious and is sturdier. It’s great for deeper matwells. The 17mm option is better for shallow recesses or when a lower profile is needed.

Q4: Can I cut coir matting myself?

Yes, coir matting with a latex backing is easy to trim. Just use a sharp Stanley knife for a precise fit, whether at home or on site.

Q5: Is coir matting environmentally friendly?

A: Absolutely. Coir is a natural, biodegradable fibre from coconut husks. This makes it a great choice for eco-friendly customers.
