Bathmat? 245RL

My bathroom has a vent right in the middle of it. It has made finding bathmats that fit quite challenging. Are there any mats with a vent hole in them?

What did you do?

Our bathroom is much smaller, and our mat covers the heat duct also. We don't camp as much in the cold weather as we used to, so we just pick it up when the furnace is on. Chances are that duct is inline with a string of them, so blocking it for a few minutes during a shower isn't going to hurt anything. The heat will just travel to the next register in line. The heat may even blow under it, or move the mat itself. I've never seen a mat with a vent hole already cut in it.

Another off the wall idea, is to put one of the teak wood folding shower platforms under the mat. That will get the mat off the floor.

That's a good idea!
I love having the heat blow into the bathroom for my showers, I'd rather block the rest of the vents

Glad to help. All the folks here have some great ideas that pop up from time to time.

I was kinda joking but you might be able to melt the edges with something to prevent fraying.

That was my thought as well. Cut a hole and bind the edges...
