Doormats: handmade or machine-made?
Whoever wants to buy a doormat is unlikely to be familiar with all the different types of workmanship and production of this useful yet commonplace furnishing accessory.
The choice is often made on the basis of factors such as one's own feelings, price, aesthetics, or the words of the dealer.
This is not enough to be sure of making the best purchase: you may end up with a poor quality doormat that you have to throw away after a short time.
It is the details that, once again, make the difference between a quality product and... all the others.
A handmade carpet is made with a special loom and knotted with meticulous care entirely by hand.
A non-manufactured carpet, on the other hand, is made by machine, in an automated and mass production manner. Although the precision of the weave of a machine-made carpet is remarkable, every hand-woven carpet has a few irregularities that differentiate it from another of the same pattern and embellish it, displaying all the fascination of craftsmanship and 100% manual manufacture.
The third and final consideration (related to the production process) is the material from which the doormats are made. The use of synthetic materials is much more common in machine-made mats, while natural, recyclable and more valuable materials such as cotton or coconut fibre are much more common in handmade mats (or hand woven).

Why are coconut doormats so popular?
The entrance carpet is often chosen crudely, when in fact it offers a great help in daily house cleaning and proves to be a real furnishing accessory able to give an extra touch to the entrance and to warmly welcome anyone who enters.
Too small, too large, too narrow, too thin and therefore not very resistant, bought cheaply and of low quality: if chosen without the right care, they can fail to meet the needs for which they are purchased.
In addition to its aesthetic role (in which size and proportions are important), a doormat must also fulfil its main role: to effectively clean the soles of shoes by keeping dirt and water out of the house. A doormat must therefore withstand frequent trampling and rubbing, and not only that! If placed outdoors, it is also exposed daily to sun, rain, humidity and temperature changes.
What material can withstand all this? Natural COCONUT!
Natural coconut, made from the fibres of the coconut, is one of the most effective and sustainable solutions for doormat production.
The coconut fibre mats are durable, absorb moisture and retain dirt and dust, ensuring optimal cleaning of the soles before entering the home.
In addition, compared to rubber or PVC models, natural coconut mats are biodegradable, recyclable and have a handmade look. Perfect for those looking for a durable, good-looking and environmentally friendly product.
