Rubber-Cal�s �Welcome Aboard� nautical door mats are a cute and colorful way to keep dirt out of your home. Our decorative welcome mats combine fashion and function to provide a product that is efficient, long-lasting, and aesthetically unique. This �Welcome Aboard� doormat offers a playful maritime theme, depicting a red-and-blue lifebuoy with a message of welcome. This residential doormat is ideal for sea-lovers of any kind, regardless of whether you are a real-life ship captain or simply the captain of your home. The colorful design is stenciled in using a waterproof emulsion paint, similar to the kind that is used on walls. This heavy-duty paint will not bleed or fade, and it ensures the coir welcome mat�s design will remain vibrant even after repeated use. This nautical mat is also made from natural coir fiber to achieve shoe-scraping capabilities and outdoor weather resistance. Coir fiber is a natural material that is derived from the husks of coconuts, and as a result coir matting is extremely durable and resilient. Much like the coconut shells it comes from, coconut matting resists abrasions, moisture, ozone, UV rays, and extreme temperatures both hot and cold. This allows you to leave your welcome floor mat out on your porch year-round, throughout any weather conditions, without worry. Coir is quick-drying and cannot develop mildew or mold, so you can count on your coconut mat to last through any season. Coir is also what makes this �Welcome Aboard� mat an excellent boot and shoe scraper. The rough coir bristles pull out dirt and trap it on the entry mat until it can be cleaned. And when the time comes, cleaning your welcome rug is as easy as taking it outdoors and giving it a good shake. This welcome door mat also includes a PVC backing to prevent it from slipping out of place.
