Outdoor Door Mats
Some outdoor door mats are made completely out of rubber, including rolled rubber runners, which include a variety of styles of mats. Oftentimes, rubber from old vehicle tires is used to make the mats. This use of recycled material makes the mats eco-friendly in that they are helping to get rid of waste material building up in our environment. Other outdoor doormats are made from an all-natural material called coir. This product is derived from the husks of coconuts. The coconut industry leaves behind the husks and people in the coir industry take the fibers from the husks and turns them into the coir material. The Coir Board of India reports that the total amount of coir fiber produced in the world is 250,000 tons, and over 50% of it is produced in India, (Coir Board of India, About Coconut Fiber, coirboard.nic.in/about_coirfiber.htm). Many developing areas are reliant on the coir industry. A dirt mat made from this material is excellent at removing dirt because of its rough texture. Both the recycled rubber and coir mats are helpful to the environment because they are taking something considered to be waste and turning it into something new. Furthermore, outdoor door mats are made in may different styles.
There are doormats to suit many different tastes in design, and there are mats to simply serve a functional purpose. Outdoor door mats can come in designs with abstract patterns on them, or decorative floral art. Some are very simple looking, while others look very elegant. There are some outdoor doormats which have a wrought iron design around them made from rubber, while other mats made of coir might have a rubber backing. These decorative mats are meant to be a part of your home décor. A dirt mat can actually be purely functional as well. These mats have different textures on them that range from a wavy pattern, to checkers, and more. Some outdoor door mats have holes to drain water out of, but all of the mats can increase traction for your feet.
There are many reasons why outdoor door mats are great for the outside entranceways of your home or office.

The rubber often comes from used tires, and coir is an all-natural material that comes from coconut husks.
