Ian Mankin Ticking Stripe Door Stops

1. Save on repairs and protect your doors

Using fabric door stops can prevent doors from banging against your walls or furniture, helping you avoid damage to your door and the surrounding area. This simple yet effective accessory not only protects your walls and furniture from unwanted impact, but it also reduces the need for costly repairs. So, a small investment in a door stop is a wise choice to prevent damage and maintain your home’s look and feel.

2. Stylish and functional

In addition to serving a practical purpose, our patterned fabric door stops can add a pop of colour and charm to any room. Our classic ticking stripe fabrics work perfectly as door stops due to their ability to endure ever-changing trends. If you’re one of those people who likes to redecorate once in a blue moon and then ticking is your answer, it’ll instantly spruce up any interior space and save you money in the long run! 

Consider matching your door stop with coordinating ticking curtains and scatter cushions if you want to create a cohesive look throughout your interior. All of our ticking fabrics can be purchased by the metre online.

3. Made in the UK and Washable


All our door stops are designed, woven, and sewn in the UK at our Lancashire-based weaving mill in Burnley. The bright and cheery removable cover is made using our washable ticking fabrics, so you can put them in the washing machine every now and again to keep them looking fresh all year round. They are 100% British-made home accessories.

4. Eco-friendly Filling


Our door stops are filled with sustainably sourced organic buckwheat hulls, which are triple-screen graded and force-air cleaned. This 100% biodegradable filling is naturally flame retardant and free from herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides. It is long-lasting, so you will not need to replace it anytime soon. The versatility of buckwheat hulls ensures our door stops are securely weighted, keeping your doors in place without damaging your surfaces.

5. Prevent Door-Related Injuries

Weighing in at over 2kgs, our freestanding fabric door stops are heavy enough to hold even the heaviest doors in place and prevent any door-related incidents. They are perfect for keeping tiny fingers safe as well as limiting the risk of a gust of wind slamming your doors open or shut on friends, family, and pets. This simple addition can provide a safer, more comfortable environment, especially in high-traffic areas.
