A. Yes, the PVC Backed Coir Matting is intended to be installed into a mat well recess / wall to wall. The matting is cut off the roll and as such the edges are not finished. Ideally the edges of the mat should be fitted to be flush with the sides of the recess so as they cannot be seen. We always recommend that the dimensions of the mat well recess itself are ordered to ensure that the mat will be big enough to fit the space.
The matting is cut from the PVC Backing side, creating a smooth straight edge. As coir has a brush type pile, the fibres will stick up and outwards from the PVC Backing. When viewed from the side, the raw edge can appear uneven. This is completely normal and not a fault. As stated, the matting is intended for installations where the edges are protected and unseen.
