Caravan Floor Matting - Everything you need to know.

In this review we'll talk about the essential features on our multipurpose caravan and annex floor matting range from Outback Explorer. This blog will highlight the key differences in materials and design, which will be able to help you choose which caravan floor matting is best for you. First up, we will talk about the highly versatile multipurpose PVC foam matting. We've actually gone through a redesign on this caravan floor matting recently to make it lighter and easier to store. Our previous design featured a checkered flag and a cross patterned design on it. We have now removed that design off of the material and by doing that, we've been able to lower the GSM on it and lower the weight without compromising on the quality.  They're now a standard 450 GSM across the range. It doesn't matter what size you go they are all the same GSM (grams per square metre). Touching on sizes, we do a range from three meters long all the way up to seven meters by two and a half meters. This will cover pretty much any sized awning in a camper trailer or caravan out there.

We manufacture these foam caravan floor matts in three different colors, featuring grey, blue and green. The main reason our PVC foam caravan floor matting is extremely popular is because they are actually an eco friendly design and extremely non-slip as well. The eco design has a crossfade pattern in them which allows the grass below to breathe. For example, you set up on site and you have your caravan floor matting layed out for a week, then you're not going to burn or kill the grass underneath which leaves the area or caravan park nice for the next group that comes along.

Another main reason we prefer this type of caravan floor matting is because of young kids, they are soft and non slippery so if they do take a tumble it's not going to hurt as much as a mesh matting. Not only that, these foam caravan floor matts are extremely easy to clean. You can just hose it off and put it back in it carry bag once its dried off. They're also extremely wind resistant as well, due to the weight of them, because they sit snug to the ground and hold onto it, so light gust of winds shouldn't cause any head aches. This is why there are no eyelets in the corners beacause you don't really need to pick them down. 

Moving onto another popular design is what we call the mesh caravan floor matting or synthetic mesh matting. This kind of caravan floor matting is extremely popular with beach goers. So if you someone that goes to Bribie Island or Fraser quite a bit, this is going to be the floor matting for you.

The main reason people love it, is it actually resists bringing all that sand up and through the matt. Now, it's not going to stop it 100% but it will prolong a lot of that coming up and through compared to its previous design. This kind of caravan floor matting is much lighter than foam matting so it is better to store in a camper trailer or touring vehicle. It's only 300 GSM. So a regular size would only weigh about six kilos. And that'll be combined in its bag with the pegs and everything. This matting comes in various sizes as well, all the way up to 2.7m x 3m.These matts are a little harder to clean so you may need to gurny when you get home. You don't want to put these away wet because they will build up mold so hanging out on the clothesline will assist with the logevity of this floor matting. They've been designed with heavy duty woven eyelets as well, right across the entire mat. These are not just for caravan as they can be used for everything. Outdoor events, you've got your barbecues, you've got your parties, you can take it down to the park. They do come with a 12 month warranty Australia wide for that extra piece of mind.
