Synthetic Coir Matting – Durable, Low-Maintenance Alternative to Natural Coir

Our Synthetic Coir Matting offers the classic look of natural coir with modern performance benefits, making it the ideal choice for both homes and businesses. Manufactured from 100% polypropylene fibres with a latex (OX) backing, it delivers exceptional durability, slip resistance, and ease of maintenance. Unlike natural coir, which can shed and deteriorate outdoors, synthetic coir is rot-proof, UV-stable, and weather-resistant, ensuring long-lasting performance in any environment.

Why Choose Synthetic Coir?

Synthetic coir—also known as faux coir or artificial coir—is designed to overcome the limitations of natural coir. It’s:

  • Lower profile (10mm or 13mm) for better door clearance and reduced trip hazards.
  • Slip-resistant thanks to its latex backing, making it safer for loose-lay installations.
  • Easy to cut and install using a utility knife and steel rule. Watch our installation video.
  • Wheelchair-friendly and DDA/Equality Act compliant, ensuring accessibility in public spaces.
  • Compatible with underfloor heating, perfect for modern interiors.
  • Minimal shedding and easy to clean, unlike natural coir.

Synthetic vs Natural Coir

Natural coir matting is a traditional, eco-friendly option, but it comes with drawbacks: it sheds, absorbs moisture, and is unsuitable for outdoor use. Synthetic coir, by contrast, is:

  • Weatherproof and UV-resistant, perfect for outdoor entrances.
  • More hygienic and easier to clean. The synthetic fibres are non-porous, which helps prevent staining and bacterial growth.
  • Longer-lasting, even in heavy-use environments.
  • Safer, thanks to its lower profile and slip-resistant backing.
  • More comfortable underfoot, thanks to its softer synthetic fibres.

How do I cut Synthetic Coir Matting to size?

Watch our installation video here, or read on. Cutting synthetic coir matting is straightforward with the right tools. You’ll need a sharp utility knife (such as a Stanley knife), a steel rule, a marker pen, and a tape measure. These will help you achieve clean, accurate cuts for a perfect fit.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Measure Accurately: Take precise measurements of your mat well or installation area. Check all sides, as many recesses are not perfectly square.
  2. Mark Your Cutting Lines: Turn the mat over so the latex backing faces up. Mark your measurements clearly, remembering to mirror them when marking the back.
  3. Draw Straight Lines: Use a steel rule and marker to connect your measurement points, creating clear cutting guides.
  4. Cut the Matting: With a sharp utility knife and straight edge, cut along your marked lines. Start by cutting through the latex backing, then separate the fibres with gentle pressure.
  5. Test the Fit: Place the cut mat into position to check the fit. Trim any excess for a snug finish.
  6. Final Placement: Once sized correctly, lay the mat in place. The latex backing provides excellent grip, so adhesive is usually unnecessary when fitted in a mat well.
