Made to measure mats are something we specialise in at Mats Nationwide, including our coir mats range. Coir matting is available to purchase either cut to size to fit a specific space or by the metre or roll.
Our advice to customers, who are purchasing coir matting for a mat well, is to order with an additional 5cm to both width and length, to ensure the new mat sits perfectly in the well.
Time for New Cut to Size, Coir Matting?
There are a few indications that it is time to invest in new coir matting, and the main one is appearance. If you have a coir mat at the entrance to your store, restaurant, office or building that looks worn and tired, it does not make the best first impression about your organisation to visitors or customers. Equally, if you have a branded or logo coir mat, and the logo is looking faded or you have had a rebrand, then a great way to reinforce a better impression of your business is a fresh looking branded coir mat.
If the edges are broken and the mat is proving to be ineffective at capturing moisture and dirt from shoes, it could even pose more risk with floors then being slippery. At Mats Nationwide, we will help you find brand new coir matting to replace the old and give your entrance a makeover.
With logo coir mats also available, why not add a splash of colour, welcome message or strengthen your brand to delight guests upon arrival? Perhaps even more importantly, allow visitors to brush off any dirt and damp from their shoes to protect your internal floors.
