How to Cut and Resize a Coir Mat

For many years, coir, a remarkably durable fiber derived from coconut husks, has been a popular option for fashionable and environmentally responsible Coir Door Mats. These mats' reputation for strength, moisture resistance, and rustic beauty makes them perfect for keeping dirt and moisture out in the entryway. Coir matting is available in rolls or by the yard, and it can be trimmed to the right size for an area in particular.

Why Get Custom-Made Natural Coir? 

It makes sense to order coir for a number of reasons. Here are only a handful. 

  • Superior Quality: Constructed entirely of natural coir, offering outstanding longevity and durability. 
  • Heavy Duty: The matting's 17mm thickness guarantees that it can tolerate both severe weather and high foot activity. 
  • Colors: Select from a range of hues to enhance the aesthetics of your house. View available colors here: Complete Color Spectrum, Dust, grime, and moisture are effectively removed from shoes by the tough bristles.
  • Internal & External Entrances: These can be used indoors or out. 
  • Non-Toxic: Because our coir is natural, it is suitable for households with kids and pets. 
  • Ideal Size: Suitable for any entry, be it a typical doorway or a space with an odd shape. For the best fit, made-to-measure is always the ideal option, especially once it has been trimmed in place. 

There are several signs that it's time to buy new coir matting, but look is the primary one. If the coir mats at the entrance of your shop, restaurant, workplace, or building are old and dirty, it fails to give customers or guests an excellent first perception of your company.

Likewise, if your branded coir mat has a fading logo or has undergone a rebranding, a new branded coir mat is a terrific method to maintain a positive perception of your company. 

The mat may even be more dangerous for flooring than just being slippery if its borders are damaged and it isn't working to absorb dirt and wetness from shoes.

You ought to pick a level, hard surface. This is perfect if you possess a patio or walkway because it will reduce cleanup when the task is done and prevent you from slipping and cutting into the wood or carpet floor beneath the coir!

Tools for Cutting and Measuring Coir Matting

Sharp Knife, Steel Rule or Smooth Edge of Spirit Level, Tape Measure, Pen or Pencil, and Notepad 

Take the easy actions listed below to cut the Coir Mats

  • Flip your fresh piece of coir mating over. 
  • Write the mat's dimensions on the reverse side. 
  • Cut with Stanley Knife or a similar instrument.
  • Set the mat in its new location and cut it as necessary.

Step 1

Determine the precise dimensions of the area where you plan to install your coir doormats before proceeding. Because patios and mat wells are frequently not as squared as they appear, be sure to take numerous measures along the entire length of the space. 

Step 2

Flip the mat so that the PVC backing is in front of you after you have precise measurements. Mark your measurements on the mat with a Biro or any other pen that makes a noticeable mark.

You have two options for cutting along the mat: either draw a cutting line with the straight edge or cut along with a metal ruler. If you do not have a metal ruler, use a sturdy object with a straight edge.

Step 3 

Now that you have marked your line, carefully cut down the mat's back. It won't be too tough because you'll only require cutting through the PVC backing, even if the mat will be no less than 17 mm thick. Gently pull the two parts apart after cutting through the backing all the way across the mat (you might need to run the blade through it again in order to cut through the knotted coir fibers).

Step 4

Set up your Indoor Door Mats in new location. You might trim the edges if necessary, but ideally it will fit perfectly. 

That's it! Your brand-new coir mat is installed and operational. If you want, you can apply a few points of glue on the backing, although it's usually not required.
