Fitting Your Coir Matting Into A Mat Well/ Recess

However, how to cut coir matting for a mat well/ recess is a slightly different process. You will require a sharp Stanley Knife, Straight edge (metal ruler or straight piece of wood) and some chalk/ chalk pen. These instructions will ensure you get the perfect fit.

  1. Lay the matting face up over the top of the mat well.
  2. Lift each side of the mat up and run the chalk along the edge or rim of the mat well, coating it thoroughly with chalk.
  3. Let the mat drop back onto the chalked edges to mark the vinyl / rubber backing with chalk.
  4. Lift the mat away from the well, turning it over and using the knife and a straight edge, cut just inside the chalk mark (about 1-2mm).
  5. The mat should drop straight back into the well.
  6. Extra trimming may be required.
