Tatami mats are a traditional Japanese flooring. Covered with a woven rush (goza) and packed with rice straw, tatami are made in individual mats of uniform size and shape, bordered by brocade or plain cloth.
There are various rules concerning the number and layout of tatami mats; an inauspicious layout is said to bring bad fortune. In homes, the mats must not be laid in a grid pattern, and in any layout there is never a point where the corners of three or four mats intersect.
The size of a Japanese room is typically measured by the number of tatami mats. The traditional dimensions of the mats were fixed at 90 cm by 180 cm (1.62 msq) by 5 cm. Half mats, 90 cm by 90 cm are also made. Tea rooms & tea houses are traditionally designed to be 4½ mats (7.29m²). Since the size is fixed, rooms in traditional Japanese construction measure in multiples of 90 cm.
As most western houses are not made with rooms that have 90cm increments, the most popular and stunning way to have tatami is to place the mats in a central position and surround them with floorboards to leave a flush finish.
Our mats are made using traditional materials and machinery to meet the strict Japanese and International standards. In Japan, all the materials used in the manufacturing process are cleaned and disinfected prior to manufacture. This is done so without the use of harmful residual chemicals. Our mats are heat treated at 85deg for 8 hours to comply with our AQIS import permit regulations.
