Colors and Patterns

 

We offer a total of 9 different patterns/weaves with 23 different colors.

Our #1 selling colors are Deep Grey and Fawn. Due to the higher sales volume of these two colors, we are able to acquire volume discounts that we, in turn, pass along to our customers. Our other non-patterned colors have a slightly higher cost associated with them due to a lower purchase volume. Our only patterned color is Grey Plaid. It has the highest cost associated with it due to the greater amount of material needed to ensure that the pattern lines up from section to section.

Backings (TPO vs. Latex):

After rigorous testing, we have chosen to make our front mats, living mats, and garage/cargo mats using different backings (Note: The following custom colors and patterns are only available with latex backing… Black/White, Coffee, Confetti, Cranberry, Flint, Indigo, Ink, Lagoon, Noir, Plaid Grey, Sea, Sisal, and White/Silver). We have found that utilizing foam (TPO) backing for the living area is optimum as it offers greater comfort–especially while barefoot. However, the TPO has a “memory” to it that can result in (temporary) indentations appearing when miscellaneous objects are placed on it for extended periods of time. We have opted to utilize Latex backing for the garage/cargo area and our front mats as it is better able to withstand items being placed on it without leaving indentations. 

Regardless of the backing type, the surface material remains the same and performs beautifully. When caring for your mats, the biggest difference between the latex-backed and foam-backed materials is the required dry time. If the mats become excessively dirty and require washing (either by hosing them off or lightly pressure washing them), latex mats will take longer to dry as this backing retains more moisture than the foam-backing. We recommend hanging up both types of mats after cleaning to facilitate quicker dry times. The latex-backed flooring takes approximately 24 hours to dry in a conditioned space, and the foam-backed flooring takes just a few hours (depending on drying conditions). NEVER place mats back in your vehicle unless they are COMPLETELY dry!
