Car mats are an essential accessory. Without it, the floor of the car will very quickly take on a terrible appearance. Car mats can be universal or they are made for a specific brand of car.
The disadvantages of universal rugs are that they will not look harmonious, they usually do not have boards. If they are still present, then the size of the "trough" is not that big.
You can buy a universal mat at any automotive supply store. Rugs made for a specific car brand are made according to certain factory patterns. They will successfully complement the design of the car. Car mats are made of rubber, textile, polyurethane. The cost of "under the brand" rugs will be more expensive. You can find a huge assortment of rugs in auto supply stores.
Rubber mats
They are cheaper. Can fit any car. They have high sides. Perfectly protect the floor of the car from moisture, they are easy to clean. The disadvantages of this type of rugs are: lack of flexibility, decent weight, the ability to absorb and retain an unpleasant odor.
Textile rugs
They have a beautiful appearance and are easy to remove. The price ranges from medium to high. Cheaper options are made of rubberized material. This type can be used all year round. The disadvantages of this type include: the inability to retain a large amount of moisture, drying of such products takes quite a lot of time.
Often, car owners use rugs made of textiles in summer and rubber mats with high sides in winter. Any car mat can deteriorate over time due to the negative effects of salt and other reagents.
Polyurethane rugs
Not so actively used by motorists. They are usually made for a specific brand of car. Models have high sides to prevent water spillage. The rugs are lighter, have good frost resistance and high wear resistance. Unlike rubber mats, their cost is much more expensive.
