The Advantages and Disadvantages of Coir Doormats

May 20, 2022

The Advantages and Disadvantages of Coir Doormats

When you want to protect your home or office flooring, it’s essential to have the best doormats for the job. Coir doormats are some of the best on the market, but they have a few considerations to keep in mind before committing to this style. Know the advantages and disadvantages of coir doormats to make the most informed decision possible.

The Advantages

Durability

So why a coir door mat? When it comes to strength, coir doormats have exceptional longevity compared to other mats. Due to their thick, dense material, coir doormats can handle plenty of foot traffic, holding up for much longer than standard mats.

Water-Resistant

Along with their increased durability, coir doormats have enhanced water resistance, helping the mat stay secure and in one piece even when dealing with spills and moisture. Water can ruin less-durable mats, making them inadequate to furnish some areas.

Eco-Friendly

Another benefit of coir welcome mats is their impact on the planet. Coir is a completely biodegradable product, meaning that once you need to throw it out, it won’t harm the environment. It will naturally degrade and won’t pose a threat to any wildlife or habitats, making it an eco-friendly option.

The Challenges

Not the Best for Outside Use

Even though coir is a durable material, it is not suitable for outdoor use. The elements, whether it be rainfall, excessive sunlight, or otherwise, will fade out and degrade the material over time.

This ability to degrade means that coir doormats last much longer indoors in climate-controlled environments. The lack of durability regarding outside environments is due in large part to the mat being biodegradable, as the environment will naturally reclaim the mat.

Can Be Rough on Bare Feet

While you have your mat indoors, there is a higher likelihood that you may walk on it with bare feet. While this isn’t a significant problem, it can be uncomfortable due to how rough the coir material is.

Have a Mat Right for Your Needs

When you need a strong indoor mat, few other designs can compete with coir. However, if you are looking for an outdoor mat, you may need to find something that won’t succumb to the elements. Whatever your needs may be, knowing the advantages and disadvantages of coir mats helps you make the best decision possible.
