Floor Liners for the Ultimate in ProtectionFloor Liners? Floor Mats? I know, I know, you say what the heck is the difference between a liner and a mat. Well, not a whole lot as far as function goes, just some differences in form. A liner is usually rigid, made of a rubber-like thermoplastic, has raised edges to trap liquids and usually doesn't have a carpeted surface, although the Nifty Catch-All has a nylon carpet surface with an electronically welded heel pad and is color matched for your vehicle. The floor liner for your car or truck is kinda like a stiff rubber car mat with a big lip. Just think ... floor liners are happier because plain old car and truck mats are usually floppy, and being made of flexible rubber or carpet, they just don’t get all the action with the female of the mat species like a liner does!!! Ok, I'm off track now. How about checking out some other peoples thoughts on these kinds of things? Sometimes the hard part of making a decision about a new set of floor mats or liners is in not knowing whether the new mats or liners will fit or look nice or live up to your expectations. So here are some real life customer reviews you might want to take a look at ... WeatherTech Extreme Duty Floor Liners Reviews Husky Liners Reviews Nifty Catch All Liner or Mat Reviews It usually helps me in my decision making process to see what others like or dislike about the liner or mat product I’m interested in - I hope it helps you too.

OK, back to the nitty gritty on our fav subject - car and truck floor liners!
Liners are commonly used in SUV’s, pickups and vans especially if you work, play or live in an extremely dirty/wet environment. They’re molded from rubber-like thermoplastics into shallow swimming pools that precisely line the floor pan of your vehicle, protecting the carpet from invasion by water, dirt and gunk. The best liners are impervious to gas, oil and battery acid in addition to liquid and gunk. 
Carpet fasteners, nibs or ridged bottoms are used to prevent the liner from slipping. And to keep you from slipping, the liners are textured on top! You hose these babies off to clean them. Just one warning before you go check out floor liners from Husky Liners , Nifty and WeatherTech . Don’t install any of these liners on top of existing floor mats or on top of vinyl floors. Install them on top of your vehicles OEM carpeting. That’s the way they are designed to work! So have fun, but if you decide a liner is too outdoorsy or your luxury vehicle needs a more sophisticated floor protective device, then go back and check out a custom car mat.
