Choosing the Right Car Floor Mat Material

28 Dec.,2023

 

Oftentimes, your car is a reflection of who you are as a person. It shows people the tastes you have as well as how you value cleanliness. Your car’s exterior is the first thing that people notice but your car’s interior is the one that will make the most impression on your passengers.

One of the car accessories that is frequently underlooked is the car floor mats. Floor mats are important as they protect your car from unwanted damaging elements such as spills, dust, and dirt. They should also be able to provide good footing for both driver and passengers.

Customising the interior of your car with some car floor mats? Here are the three most common materials used for car floor mats.

Carpet

Carpets are often made from tough nylon and materials like Berber. They are tufted and have an anti-slip rubber backing so that they do not move and stay in place. Designs are customisable. Depending on the material they are made of and the design, the price usually varies. The main disadvantages of using carpets for floor mats is that they easily accumulate dirt over time and wear out faster than other floor mat materials.

Vinyl

Most people mistake vinyl with rubber. Vinyl or PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), is a polymer that resembles synthetic plastic. It is a cheaper alternative to rubber when you don’t have enough budget. Like carpets, vinyl floor mats are available in various designs, colours, and styles. Compared to carpets, this material is more resistant to chemicals and moisture absorption. However, when compared to rubber mats, they are less durable and prone to cracking and deformation when exposed to extremes of temperature.

Rubber

Rubber is a heavy-duty material. Mats made from rubber are easy to clean and durable, just not to extreme heat. They have waterproofing features because of deep grooves present in the material best for humid environments and muddy areas. However, unlike carpets and vinyl floor mats, rubber mats are available in limited designs and colours. They may not go well with your car’s interiors to your liking. They can however be customised to fit your car perfectly. Because of its durability, rubber mats tend to be more expensive than the other two materials.
