The original, inexpensive natural floorcovering
Our business began in 1968 when we started importing simple hand woven seagrass mattings
from Asia and South-East Asia, and sold them to homes and business across Sydney. Tastes
have changed, as has our name. We were previously known as The Seagrass Trading Company. We no longer carry 20 different types of seagrass matting like we did
in the 70s. But for more than forty years, heavy-duty seagrass squares have been consistently
popular as a cheap alternative floor covering that you can install yourself.
Each seagrass square measures approximately 30cm x 30cm. It is sewn together in rows of 9 squares wide.
The rows are sewn together 36 rows long to form what is referred to as a bale of seagrass.
We sell our seagrass matting by the row of nine 30cm squares.
This equates to approximately .81 square metres. The price is $18.00 per row.
Talk to us for a special price on a seagrass bale. We ship them all over Australia.
Seagrass squares can be loose laid on your floor and centred like a rug.
If you want an exact fit, you can cut between the squares using a Stanley-type knife.
It is not wise to try to cut into the squares with a Stanley-type knife.
However a pair of garden secateurs is perfect for the job.
If you bring in a simple floor plan, we can help you work out how many rows of seagrass you need.
If you think in rows of seagrass matting rather than seagrass squares, you will save yourself a lot of work.
If you don't catch the dirt at the entrance, it will find its
way onto the first soft surface. Doormats are essential in Australia.
And the bigger they are, the more dirty footsteps they catch.
The rest of the world laughs at the Australian standard doormat — cheap, but barely bigger
than a handkerchief. Totally ineffective! For many years, we have harped on about the more
footsteps you catch on a doormat, the less dirt you wipe on your beautiful floor covering.
Surprise, surprise, we only sell high quality large doormats and entrance-well matting.
At the end of the day, they are cheap compared to your floor covering.
