Why buy your car mats from us versus buying mats in a retail store? Back to top
Our mats are custom made for your vehicle
and provide maximum protection for you vehicle floor. Our factory
has thousands of templates that have been custom made for each car
make and year so the coverage is maximized as is the quality of the
carpet and binding. Our customization options are unparalleled
compared to retail stores and, don’t forget, are officially licensed
and not cheap imitations.
What is the difference between carpet styles and types? Back to top
There are three main categories of mat
styles: luxury berber, carpet (many options in quality) and rubber.
Berber
Berber is a European style 48 oz. mat
with a serged edge that has a luxurious look and feel. It resists
wear, tear and footprints with a thicker and tighter loop providing
one of the most durable and elegant floor mats the market can deliver.
Carpet
Our carpet comes in many different qualities
from our popular Ultimat, to our 22 oz. Touring and 28 oz. Grand Touring.
Heavyweight mats are also available with 48 oz weight of super soft
Anso RPM continuous filament nylon yarn. All of these carpets
are manufactured with high quality nylon yarn with an excellent finish
that is superior to most mats on the market today.
Rubber
As the name implies these rubber mats
are custom fit to over 4500 exact fitting patterns for your vehicle
and are one piece. They have hundreds of “cups” to hold water,
mud, snow, sand and spills. They have rounded wells at the walls
and are designed for easy cleaning (they just hose off). The heavyweight
composition rubber keeps flexible even in sub-zero temperatures and
the rubber nib backing keeps the mats in place.
Why should I buy your floor mats compared to the mats that come from the original manufacturer (OEM)? Back to top
Most mats from the factory (called OEM
mats) are of mediocre quality for several reasons. Number one
is coverage - more coverage for them = more cost. The second, and
most important, reason is carpet quality. Our carpet is of high
quality (even our minimum quality carpet is superior) and wear resistant
meant to last for years of wear and tear. Better quality and better
coverage would be your Floormatexpress experience.
What is the difference in bindings for your mats? Back to top
Serging gives a luxury look to the carpet
mat that separates it from other mats. Though standard on the
luxury berber mats, serging can now be added to the Touring and Grand
Touring mats. Standard binding that comes with your mats is a
high quality nylon mesh cloth tape or a nylon velour edging, depending
on the carpet type chosen. Again, your mats can be customized
with matching color binding, different color binding, neon binding or
serged binding in most cases with a variety of colors to choose from.
What kind of backing do you use? Back to top
There are two main backings used on our
mats. The first is a 4 layer backing: Polypropylene mesh gives
the tufted yarn its shape, extra heavy latex creates stiffness to help
maintain mat shape, water-resistant layer to keep moisture from the
original carpet, and finally Tractionbac composition rubber with natural
non-skid characteristics. The other backing is an exclusive “grip
tech” ribbed rubber designed to reduce the mat sliding. The
rubber nibs grip the underlying carpet, holding the mats firmly in place.
As you can see, our mats are all about quality and attention to detail.
Will the mat color match my carpet? Back to top
Floormatexpress has many different colors
in all its styles of mats to match the look of your vehicle. Regardless
of the style you choose, you can rest assured that you will have a color
available to you to complement the interior of your vehicle.
Why does the color of my mat differ from the color shown on my computer screen a little? Back to top
Computer monitors vary in their ability
to show true colors accurately. Of course, the colors shown on
your monitor very closely resemble the mat color you receive in
your order. If you are very concerned with matching the color
carefully, please order yourself a free sample by
contacting us.
What type of embroidery do you offer? Back to top
The options of embroidery are extensive
and vary based on the type of mat you choose. Rest assured that
you will have enough options to satisfy your needs with our products.
If the electronic cart confuses you, please download a fax order sheet
or call us so that we can process your order to your satisfaction.
I don’t see my vehicle type in your licensed logos. Why can’t you embroider the make or model of my vehicle? Back to top
Due to a recent court ruling this can
not be done as it infringes on licensing issues. However, please
note we have a tremendous number of licensed logos available.
We can of course use licensed logos on your mats!
My vehicle mats have grommets: do these come with your floor mats? Back to top
We add grommets if they were part of
the original OEM mat with some exceptions such as BMW’s, certain Corvettes,
and others that are exclusive to the vehicle maker. In these cases
the mat usually lays properly over the flat snap type, and with our special
backing grips well without grommets for a cleaner look that holds
the mats in place.
I can’t find my vehicle floor mats? What can I do? Back to top
We can do any custom fit project that you need all we need is an traced template to match your area needed. There will be an extra $20.00 charge for the custom template.
How do I clean my floor mats? Back to top
Simple cleaning is always the best way
to clean your mats. Vacuuming and using mild soap and water is
usually effective with hang drying. Most carpet spot cleaners
are safe on the mats as well.
When will I receive my order? Back to top
Our factory has one of the quickest turnaround
times in the industry. All orders are custom made to order when
they are received, so within several days your mat is made, and then
shipped from our factory. Depending on where you live in North
America, the regular ground free shipping takes an additional several
days. Expedited shipping and processing are available.
