Sustainability doesn’t have to mean giving up strength—and in today’s world, that balance is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity. That’s where vinyl backed cocomats from William F. Kempf & Son Inc step in, delivering eco-conscious design and industrial-grade performance in one doormat. Whether you’re outfitting a front porch, a commercial lobby, or a LEED-certified office space, these mats prove that you can care for the planet and still keep the dirt outside.
Your entrance is more than a space—it’s your first impression. And if you’re trying to combine aesthetics, sustainability, and rugged practicality, there’s no better choice than a vinyl backed cocomat. Especially when it comes from a company like Kempf, with over 100 years of quality craftsmanship behind every fiber.
So, What Exactly Are Vinyl Backed Cocomats?
Let’s start at the beginning. Cocomats are made from coarse, natural coconut husk fibers—yes, literally the brown outer shell of coconuts. Harvested responsibly in line with eco-friendly agricultural practices, these coir fibers are known for their durability, scraping power, and biodegradable properties.
But here’s where Kempf takes it up a notch: the vinyl backing. Unlike regular coir mats, vinyl backed cocomats add a structured, water-resistant foundation that stays in place, resists curling, and holds its form even under the heaviest foot traffic. Perfect for covered entryways, recessed mat wells, and high-use areas that need more than just a pretty welcome mat.
Whether you’re working with a 5/8″ or 3/4″ coir mat, the vinyl backing brings both practicality and polish to the picture.
Why Kempf’s Vinyl Backed Cocomats Stand Out
You’re not just buying a doormat—you’re investing in a long-term, environmentally responsible solution that handles real life. Here’s what makes William F. Kempf & Son Inc’s vinyl backed cocomats the gold standard:
- Eco-Friendly Materials – Sustainably harvested coconut coir, 100% natural and biodegradable. Good for the Earth, great for your brand image.
- Heavy-Duty Performance – Dense coir bristles act like natural scrub brushes, catching dirt and moisture before they hit your floors.
- Vinyl Backing – Keeps mats from sliding, warping, or soaking through. Moisture stays out, and so does the mess.
- Custom Sizes Available – From oddly shaped recessed wells to wide commercial entryways, you can cut to fit or custom order.
- Low Maintenance – Shake it out, vacuum it, hose it down—it’s built for real life and built to last.
Where Vinyl Backed Cocomats Truly Shine
Kempf’s mats are for people and businesses that care about the bigger picture, but still need to keep their floors clean. Some of the most common uses include:
- Homes – Think front porches, mudrooms, garage entries—anywhere muddy boots or wet shoes land.
- Commercial Spaces – Hotels, lobbies, offices, and service entrances that need to look good and stay clean.
- Recessed Wells – Especially in schools, retail storefronts, and public buildings, where mats must fit flush.
- Eco-Friendly Projects – From green construction to sustainability-driven renovations, vinyl backed cocomats tick all the boxes.
