We frequently get asked out by customers how they can cut their coir mat to a specific size, to fit into a mat well for example. Therefore we have put together a simple step-by-step guide on the easiest way of cutting coir matting.
1. Turn the coir mat over so that the backing is face up
2. Use a tape measure or a large ruler to measure the size that you require and make a mark with a pen. Take measurements and make markings at multiple points on the mat backing to ensure accuracy.
3. Line up the measurements using a steel rule or a spirit level for example.
4. Cut along the mat backing against the steel rule or spirit level that has been used to line up the measurements. Use a sharp Stanley knife to cut through the backing of the matting.
5. Peel the two pieces apart and turn over to reveal your cut to size coir matting. Ta da!
