A good set of car mats is one of the most unappreciated accessories for your car. They protect your carpets, dry your shoes, keep your feet steady on the pedals and add comfort and luxury to your daily drive.
Car mats are also the most abused accessory. Think about the conditions they have to put up with – dirt, mud, snow, even tar. Your car mats bear the brunt of your daily life and in turn have to be up to the job.
Those with young children will also understand how quickly the carpets in your car can look tired and worn. A couple of trips to the great outdoors and a few muddy shoes later, and your nice new mats are looking decidedly worse for wear. If your job or lifestyle dictates that you use your car often, you will appreciate how constantly getting in and out of your car can take its toll on your carpets. All of the debris you bring into the car ends up around your feet and is very quickly pressed into the fibres of your mats. Those footwells you vacuumed over the weekend can look extremely unkempt by midweek and it doesn't take long before, despite your best efforts, dirt gets permanently engrained in your mats.
Car owners replace their mats for a wide range of reasons. Many bought a set of mats because they were cheap, that within a month were bent out of shape, permanently dirty and looking old before their time. Cheap car mats are a poor investment as they will look shoddy within a very short space of time, won’t provide the same protection for your car, and will need replacing much sooner.
A set of car mats can be bought from a variety of places, including supermarkets, car accessory retailers and the internet and the quality of those mats is just as varied. Many people simply buy a cheap set of universal mats that they like the look of. The reality is however, that such mats are made in the Far East to an exceptionally low cost of manufacture and in turn, are made with poor quality materials.
The solution is quite simply, a set of tailored car mats made using a high quality automotive carpet, heel pad, edging and backing, custom cut for your specific vehicle to ensure a perfect fit. Custom fit mats are cut to shape to mould around your footwells, preventing them from slipping and sliding around. A high quality backing and edging ensure that dirt and moisture are contained within the mat, and proper car mat carpeting ensures your mats are easy to clean and maintains a quality feel.
Tailored car mats are usually made to the same quality standards and from the same premium materials as specified by the most prestigious car manufacturers. They will protect your carpets more effectively, for longer, and make your car interior look ultra stylish too. |
