What are the advantages of coir doormats?
Coir doormats have been a front-door staple for good reason—they just work. Made from natural coconut fibres, they’re tough on mud and dirt without being harsh underfoot. That stiff bristle texture helps scrape off the worst of the outdoors before anyone steps inside, keeping your floors cleaner and saving you time and effort on tidying up. But it's not just about practicality. Coir has a rustic charm that suits both traditional and modern doorsteps. It’s biodegradable too, so if you're trying to cut back on plastic at home, it's a smarter swap. At Rinkit, our coir mats come in a range of designs—from simple geometric borders to witty slogans and seasonal motifs—so you don’t have to choose between function and a bit of front-door personality.
Why doormat design matters more than you think
It’s easy to overlook the humble doormat, but it’s often the first thing someone sees—and steps on—when they visit your home. That makes it more than just a dirt trap. It’s a small but noticeable detail that sets the tone before you’ve even opened the door. Whether you want something playful to make guests smile or something minimal to suit your clean-lined entryway, our collection gives you plenty of choice. And we don’t stop at coir. Rinkit also offers rubber-backed mats that stay put even in wet weather, along with designs made for patios and boot rooms where things get really messy. Each one is chosen with daily life in mind—hardwearing, weather-resistant, and easy to clean.
Do coir mats work in bad weather?
In short—yes, but with a bit of care. Coir handles the wet surprisingly well, but it does best in covered or semi-sheltered areas. Think porches, lean-tos, or just under a door canopy. Left soaking for days, any mat would start to look tired, but coir bounces back quickly with a bit of airing out. And because they’re so sturdy, they’ll keep scrubbing boots clean throughout autumn and winter, even when it’s all slush and soggy leaves outside. Pair one with a boot scraper or a second indoor mat for a bit of extra protection and you're set for the season. With designs to suit any entryway, a Rinkit doormat is a small upgrade that makes a big difference.
