Why Coir Matting Works for Entrance Areas

Why Coir Matting Works for Entrance Areas

A practical choice for indoor matwells, inset entrances and traditional doorways.

Coir matting is made from natural coconut fibres with a dense, brush-like surface that helps scrape dirt and absorb moisture from footwear before it is walked through the building. This makes it a popular choice for indoor entrance areas where you want a classic look and reliable day-to-day dirt control.

Often searched for as coconut matting, coco matting, coya matting, brush matting or bristle matting, coir matting remains a go-to option for inset entrance mats, porches and internal doorway recesses. Our premium coir matting is bonded to a PVC backing, making it easier to trim and fit neatly into a matwell or floor recess. It is best suited to indoor use only.

Key Advantages of Coir Matting

Key Advantages of Coir Matting

Why buyers choose coir and coconut matting for recessed entrances:

  • Effective dirt scraping: The coarse coir fibres help remove debris from shoes before it reaches interior floors.
  • Moisture absorption: Coir also helps absorb wetness at the doorway, making it well suited to internal entrance areas.
  • Cut-to-size ordering: Buy full rolls or order custom lengths in 1m or 2m widths to suit your entrance.
  • Two stocked thicknesses: 17mm and 23mm are available to help you match the depth of your matwell.
  • PVC-backed for fitting: The backing adds stability, durability and makes trimming easier during installation.
  • Colour options: Natural coir is by far the most popular choice, with grey and black also available in selected 17mm lines.
  • Suitable for inset applications: Ideal for matwells and recessed entrances where a flush finish is important.
How to Choose the Right Coir Matting

How to Choose the Right Coir Matting

Use these points to select the best coir matting for your entrance:

  • Thickness: Choose 17mm or 23mm based on the depth of your matwell or recess. Thickness does not change performance; the aim is to achieve a flush finish with the surrounding floor.
  • Size and format: Natural coir is available in full rolls and custom lengths in 1m and 2m widths. Grey and black 17mm coir are also available in selected pre-cut and roll sizes.
  • Placement: Coir matting is for indoor use only and is best for matwells, inset entrances and internal doorway areas.
  • Backing: Our natural coir matting is made from 100% natural coir bonded to PVC backing for durability and easier installation.
  • Fitting: You can trim the mat yourself by cutting along the PVC backing with a sharp knife, then placing it into the recess.
  • Colour: Natural is the classic and most popular choice. Grey and black are available if you want a darker modern finish.
  • Maintenance: Vacuum regularly to remove dry dirt and loose fibres, and brush the surface as needed to keep it looking tidy.

Frequently asked questions

The things shoppers ask us most about entrance matting.

  • Vacuum coir matting regularly to remove dry dirt, dust and loose fibres, and brush the surface when needed to keep the pile looking tidy. As coir matting is intended for indoor use, it is best not to over-wet it during cleaning.

  • No, coir matting is designed for indoor use. The PVC backing and natural fibres are not suited for prolonged exposure to wet or UV conditions.

  • A small amount of initial shedding is normal with new coir matting, especially just after fitting. Regular vacuuming will quickly remove loose fibres, and our premium PVC-backed coir is designed for durable everyday entrance use.

  • Regular vacuuming and occasional brushing with water are sufficient to remove dirt and maintain its appearance. Avoid excessive moisture to prolong its life.

  • With proper care, coir matting can last several years. Its durability depends on placement, usage, and maintenance.

  • Coir matting does have a reputation for shedding fibres, but our premium PVC-backed coir is designed to prevent this from happening. It's normal for new coir to shed a small amount after installation, but vacuuming the surface will remove the loose fibres quickly.

  • Choose the thickness that best matches the depth of your matwell or recess so the mat sits flush with the surrounding floor. The 17mm and 23mm options do not differ in performance; the choice is simply about fit.

  • Natural coir matting is available to order in natural, grey and black only. Natural is the most popular option, while grey and black are available in selected 17mm products.

  • Yes. Coir matting is ideal for inset entrances and matwells because it can be cut to fit and laid into a recess for a neat, flush finish.
