Description
Custom Coco Mats are made from real coconut fiber — coir — for entrances where a warm, natural-material look matters as much as keeping the floor clean. The coarse fiber scrapes grit and traps dirt at the door, while the organic texture gives a threshold a premium, natural feel that synthetic mats don't replicate. They sit among our indoor logo mats as the natural-fiber option, built specifically for recessed entrance wells.
Coir earns its place at the door through the fiber itself. The coarse natural strands scrape soil off shoes and hold it down in the pile, away from the walking surface — most of the dirt inside a building arrives on foot traffic, per ISSA, and a dense coir face is built to catch it. The mat is fusion-bonded on a vinyl backing and supplied as sheet and roll goods in a roughly 6-foot-7 width, so it's cut to the exact opening rather than forced to a stock size.
It's designed as a semipermanent installation for recessed wells, set into the recess at about 5/8 inch total height so it sits flush with the surrounding floor. That same construction carries real green-building value: it contributes to LEED through recycled content (50%), a low-VOC releasable adhesive, and the entrance-flooring credit for a maintained walk-off system of at least 10 feet — which makes it a straightforward spec for projects tracking LEED points.
This is an indoor mat. Coir is a natural fiber, so it belongs at interior and covered entrances — lobbies, vestibule wells, hospitality and institutional entries, and design-forward or sustainability-minded spaces. It isn't built for open exterior or wet exposure, where natural fiber breaks down; a synthetic scraper is the right call there. It's custom-cut to your well, with bold logo and border options worked into the coir. Vacuum and clean it on a weekly schedule — that's also what the LEED entrance credit expects — and replace it when the fiber thins or wears in the main path.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can we put our logo on a coco mat?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
Yes, within what the fiber does well. Coir takes bold, clean branding — a company name, a simple logo, a border or color block — worked into the natural mat. What it can't do is the fine detail, gradients, or photographic artwork that a printed carpet mat handles, because the fiber is coarse by nature. If your logo is bold and reads at a glance, coir gives it a distinctive, organic look; if it's intricate, we'd point you to a printed mat instead. Send us the artwork and we'll tell you honestly how it will translate.
Why choose natural coir over a synthetic entrance mat?
Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing
It's about the impression and the material story. Coir reads as warm and natural in a way a synthetic mat doesn't — it suits lobbies, hospitality entries, and spaces designed around natural materials, and it pairs with a genuine sustainability message because the fiber is renewable and the mat carries recycled content. You're trading some of the all-weather toughness of a synthetic for a premium, organic look. For an indoor entrance where first impressions and values both matter, that's often the right trade.
Does it work in a recessed entrance well, and how is it installed?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
That's what it's built for. It comes as sheet and roll goods cut to your well, and at about 5/8 inch total height it sits flush in a standard recess. It's a semipermanent installation — set in with a releasable adhesive rather than loose-laid — so it stays put as a permanent part of the entrance. Give us the well dimensions and we'll cut it to fit; if you're specifying a new well, we can work from the opening size you're planning.
Can it help with LEED certification?
Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO
Yes, in three ways. It carries 50% recycled content toward the materials credit, uses a low-VOC releasable adhesive toward indoor-air-quality, and qualifies for the entrance-flooring credit when it's installed as a maintained walk-off system at least 10 feet long. That last one comes with a condition worth knowing up front: the credit expects the entrance system to be maintained weekly, so build regular cleaning into the plan. If your project is tracking specific LEED points, tell us which and we'll confirm how this fits.
