Floor mats that can be removably secured to loop pile carpeting within a
vehicle include a surface layer having an aesthetic appearance, a backing
layer in face-to-face contacting relationship with the surface layer, and
a layer of scrim material integrally disposed within the backing layer,
wherein the layer of scrim material comprises a plurality of hooks
extending outwardly therefrom and through the backing layer in one or
more locations. The hooks are configured to engage loops in floor
carpeting within a vehicle when the floor mat is placed on the carpeting.
Moreover, the size and density of the hooks are configured such that
damage to the carpeting when the floor mat is removed from the carpeting
is reduced.
