| Stripped wood is still very much the in-thing for floors, along with natural seagrass or coir rugs and floor coverings. |
| The husk, which contains useful fibre, known as coir, is not discarded but is set aside to produce, for example, coconut matting. |
| Also, a discussion of some of the newer organic materials included in plant media, e.g. coconut coir and compost, would be appropriate. |
| Instead of peat, some growers are starting to use coir as a potting mix component. |
| The fortunes of the traditional coir yarn spinners, mat weavers and carpet-makers have been on the downtrend. |
| The timbers are jungle jackfruit, the lashings are coir rope, the walls are bamboo matting and roofs are local thatch. |
