    TuxMat® – The Ultimate Car Mat With Maximum Coverage

    The vast majority of us buy mats for our cars because we all know what happens to the floors without them, especially during winter time! You’ve probably noticed that most off the shelf car mats offer little protection because they’re flat and are a universal fit – this means there’ll always be exposed areas that catch dirty elements and they’re also unsafe because inevitably they move around due to an imperfect fit. I was browsing the web to find some mats for my car and came across TuxMat® who sell mats that cover the entire carpeted area of any vehicle including the vertical walls around the edges and are custom-fit for each individual car model. They’re also designed to match your cars interior, so if you have a luxury car, your car’s floor will just look as luxurious.

     

     

    TuxMat Inc.® is based in Toronto and currently ship to US and Canada.They use laser technology to replicate your car’s floor in order to create mats that give your vehicle the ultimate protection. They are designed to cover the largest possible carpeted area in your vehicle and provide a perfect fit for easy installation. No cutting or trimming needed. Thanks to their advanced three-layered construction, these mats are highly durable, comfortable, and flexible. They can retain their shape under cold temperatures and provide a superior grip to prevent slippage.

    When you look closely at TuxMat construction you’ll realise that these mats are much more complex than other car mats. At the top layer, you will find plasticised Polyvinyl Chloride. It’s a thermostatic polymer that moulds easily to the vehicle floor when it gets hot or cold.

    They are water-resistant and the middle layer acts as a foam rubber that gives the mat extra cushioning – so much more comfortable that most car mats.

  • Road Trip Essentials

    Road Trip Essentials

    Over the next few days and weeks a lot of us will be off to visit our loved ones who live all over the country (and maybe even the globe!) which means we need to be well prepared for a long road trip. Before you head of on any kind of journey make sure your car is in tip top condition. Get your tyres and general car health checked to ensure you avoid any unexpected issues on the way. Once you know your car is in tip top condition make sure you’ve got yourself a checklist of all the things to remember to make your journey as pain-free as possible.

     

    Water and Snacks

    Packing plenty of water and snacks for your journey should mean you avoid having to stop and pay the extra high service station prices for a bottle of water and packet of crisps. Of course if the driver feels like they need a break then stopping is essential but avoid adding more cost to your journey by taking your own snacks and refreshments.

     

    Extra Clothes

    It’s always a good idea to pack a few extra layers especially during the winter months. The weather can take a turn for the worst at any time so make sure you’re prepared with a coat or extra jumper. It’s also handy to have a few more layers if you’re travelling through the night or just in case you get stranded on your way.

     

    First Aid Kit

    Make sure you’ve got a properly stocked first aid kit in your car just in case of any minor injuries. They’re also a good idea to have with you wherever you may be going, just to be on the safe side.

     

    High Vis Vest

    It gets dark awfully quickly in the winter months and a high vis vest can save a life if you break down on a dark road. Don’t take the risk this year and make sure you’ve got one in your boot.

     

    Entertainment for the Kids

    Long journeys can be a bit too much for young children sometimes. To keep the cries of “are we nearly there yet” at bay then make sure you remember enough entertainment for the kids. CD’s or talking books are always a winner as are tablets and handheld consoles (just make sure they’re fully charged!)
