Coir Doormat is an extremely popular choice for outdoor entrance door matting because of its hard wearing properties.

It is slightly abrasive and textured surface enables people to rub their shoes against them loosening the most stubborn mud from your shoes.
Thicker isn’t always better and let me tell you why. I like to think of it like a brush and how coarse you want it and the main action and whether you need that bristle action.

Shorter stubby pile doormats tend to have a firmer brushing action and can help better remove dirt effectively. Longer piled doormats have a less scrubby effect on the shoes as they are softer.
Key things to remember before ordering a thicker mat, well any doormat is looking at what clearance you have under your door. Remember you need to ensure that the door can still open with the mat in place.

Extend and prolong the life of the doormat by turning upside down allowing mud to fall out.
