Hotel Flooring

As the pace of technology increases, often human beings are left lagging behind in their ability to adapt to their new surroundings, habits or food stuffs. Nowhere is this more apparent than childhood asthma, often triggered by the dust mites found in modern carpets. This is why many people are choosing coir matting over the fabric carpeting that has proven so popular in the west over the last hundred years.

Coir matting is a natural material made from the husk of the coconut palm, a tree not native to Europe but which grows naturally in many warmer parts of the world. The husk is hand woven in to the squares or rolls of matting that you can buy in shops. This completely natural process means that the overall impact of coir matting on the environment is incredibly small in comparison to floor coverings made from oil based products.

The basic structure of coir matting also provides a less suitable habitat for asthma causing dust mites, making it an ideal alternative floor covering for bedrooms of asthma sufferers. Although you or your child may not spend as much time during the day in your bedroom, by replacing your carpet, you'll still be saving a good 6-9 hours every night of breathing in all those irritants.

Another reason that makes coir matting such a brilliant floor covering is that it's so easy to mop up spills, perfect for anywhere with young children, or even messy adults.
