Why renew the car mats?

There are mats of all prices on the market, which means that we can get cheap ones if we do not want to spend a lot, or in other words, that the price of the mats is not an impediment to change them when it touches, not even if we want some quality…

car mats

Inside our car wear occurs with use. The rugs are the ones that suffer the most, as this is where we all put our feet, with dirty and wet soles of our shoes.

There are people who do not change them even when they break, but that is a mistake as we will see below.

For aesthetics

One of the main reasons why we renew our car mats is for aesthetics.

The sum of time and use leaves them in deplorable conditions and sometimes even those that come from the factory are not very pleasant.

The change is very simple, because there are websites like onlyalfombrillas.es in which they are made to measure, of the material that we like the most and even personalized with the same fasteners as the standard ones.

Thus, We can take advantage of the deterioration of our mats to change them for better and more beautiful ones.

To care for the upholstery

The main function of the floor mats is to extend the life of the upholstery that is on the vehicle floor, because without them the upholstery would be to change in a few months.

These mats act as a protective barrier. Dirt, stones, mud, humidity and water remain in them, because even if they are made of textile material, they do prevent the water from ending up on the upholstery.

When they deteriorate they lose this ability to retain the water that we carry in our shoes, they become soaked and They allow moisture to accumulate in the upholstery, something that is a problem if we live in an area where it rains a lot.

It is not something common, but if we wear wet shoes often, that water can pass to the floor of the car, to the sheet metal, causing oxides that can end up rotting the bodywork.

Car mats: For safety

Many of us have had problems with the driver's mat, especially with the ones sold in the stores of automotive accessories, which are not of the best quality and do not take into account the size of our car.

There are two situations that can put us in danger: when the mats break and when they move.

In both cases they can end up interfering with the pedals, causing dangerous situations when they catch on the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, which is much softer.

Rubber mats, due to their hardness, are the ones that can cause the most dangerous situations, so as soon as we see the first signs of deterioration we must change them for new ones, and we will do the same if they do not fit well.

There are mats of all prices on the market, which means that we can get cheap ones if we do not want to spend a lot, or in other words, that the price of the mats is not an impediment to change them when it touches, not even if we want some quality.

All car mats tend to deteriorate quickly, especially in cases where we go with the car to environments with a lot of dirt or water. Luckily, on the web we find stores that can send us home, made to measure and at very reasonable prices.
