Lobster Rope Mats versus a Coir Rope Doormat

If it’s a contest between a lobster rope mat and a coir one, the lobster rope one wins every time.

Why? You already know why. A coir doormat lasts less than a year until it’s thrown in the garbage. The natural wear and tear makes a mess with all that shedding. You even have to vacuum them once a week.

Do you need more chores? No. Do you want to replace your doormat constantly? Again no. Coir mats are also prone to mold and mildew.

Not so with a lobster rope mat which resists mold and mildew and boasts up to 6 times the industry standard for added UB protection against fading.

Clearly, it’s time to invest in a lobster doormat from The New England Trading Co. doormat. A doormat that will last many years as it’s handwoven from weatherproof fishing rope.

Besides, the three-year warranty and The New England Trading Co.’s strict quality testing are reassuring—simply the best buy for your buck.

Other doormat options and why a lobster rope mat is for the win!

If not a coir mat, many people opt for rubber mats. While soft on one’s feet, rubber tends to rip and crack in a short timeframe. You still end up replacing them sooner rather than later.

Marine rope is virtually indestructible. Engineered to tether lobster traps in the sea, lobster rope is made for all-weather.

The New England Trading Company weaves lobster rope doormats from their own weatherproof rope. Tough and heavy rope for longevity.

It’s even more durable than standard polypropylene used in many other doormats, their polysteel rope creates a heavy-duty outdoor doormat that outlasts others on the market.

Be sure to also consider factors including rope construction and width, weaving equipment, and even the skill level of the weaver! The New England Trading Company nails all of the above!

Doormats that have been through a proprietary 5-point quality check that inspects quality, rope color, weaver firmness, constructions, and craftsmanship. Attention to detail is a priority!

Outdoor doormats with extra UV protection to protect the vibrant colors and prevent rapid fading.

Show me one person who doesn’t want more storage. Agreed! More storage is better.

We are always looking for more places to store our “stuff.” Whether that’s pillows, blankets, kids’ toys, dog toys, umbrellas, magazines/books, hats and mittens, holiday items, and everything else under the sun.

One can never have too many storage baskets! Especially a well-made basket fashioned out of fishing rope. Firm and fantastic, baskets meant to weather all storms of life!

The two sturdy side handles are ideal for easy lifting.

Baskets that are also easy on the eye- The New England Trading Company makes attractive storage baskets. Baskets to gaze at because they look just as good as they function. Conversation pieces for guests!

All plants look fantastic in these baskets, adding a pop of color to your plants! A big bonus is that water drains out so plants won’t get waterlogged.

So many uses, you’ll want multiple baskets in varied sizes and colors.

See and touch a rope doormat and basket for quality control!

No pictures do justice for a New England Co. doormat or basket until you see and touch them. The quality is superb.

As with so much in life, you get what you pay for. Pay a small price and keep buying, throwing out, and purchasing the same product over and over.

Pay a little bit more for a heavy-duty quality product and end that cycle of repeat buying. When you see and touch a lobster rope mat you realize how thick, sturdy, and long-lasting it will be.

I hate waste and bet you do too! This is why so many of us have compost piles for our fruit and veggie scraps. Waste not!

The extra thickness and weight prevents the sliding of this doormat, keeping the mat in place.

Especially when wet! The material is fast-drying, so when exposed to elements like snow, sleet, and rain, the product outlasts all others on the market.

And so easy to clean! Adjust that hose setting to the jet stream and spray. Dirt and grime come off with ease. The material dries super quick so in a flash, you’re ready to put it back on your doorstep.

Speaking of cleaning…..

I have a big family. Four kids going in and out of the house non-stop. Sometimes they follow the “rules” and take their shoes off. Sometimes they don’t.

Two dachshunds sure add to our family life, but their muddy and dirty paws add to our mess. Because even the pets are constantly going in and out of the house.

It’s essential to have solid mats for kids and pets to wipe their feet on before entering the home. That’s what makes a superior New England Trading Co. doormat part of the daily family routine.

Even though rope mats are ideal weatherwise for outdoor use, these mats are also convenient when placed inside the door, where they catch all the dirt and grime coming off shoes and paws.

The “catch and release” woven design traps dirt underneath. Simply pick up the mat, shake excess dirt outside, and sweep up dirt that passed through before placing the mat back.

Breathable mats that make cleaning a breeze!

Color me happy with a new doormat & basket

There’s nothing like vibrant color to boost any space’s visual appeal and aesthetics.

With various sizes and over 35 colors to choose from, the biggest decision is which one to buy. Solids or stripes? Or how about the double-weave mats? Bright blues and greens, or are you a more neutral person? Seafoam, anyone?

Also, choose a size. The smaller 18″ x 30″ doormat weighs about 7 pounds while the larger 24″ x 36″ weighs about 10 pounds.

No matter what style you’re looking for, The New England Trading Company has the perfect outdoor doormat to welcome your guests all year round. 

Cottage or lake house. Seaside coastal or cabin. The New England Trading Company will have the exact mat and basket to suit your style. Refined, clean, cheery, and bright, doormats to reinvent your space with timeless appeal.
