Outdoor Entrance Mats

An outdoor entrance mat needs to be able to endure harsh weather conditions, from cold and snowy, to hot and sunny. Rubber outdoors mats are very durable and will not crack, split or curl, no matter what the weather condition.

Indoor Entrance Mats

The indoor entrance mat is the main entrance mat, and in most cases the only entrance mat that businesses and homes opt for. The indoor entrance mat, therefore, must do much of the work in terms of stopping dirt and water getting into your premises.

Types of Entrance Mats

Rubber Backed vs. Vinyl Backed Entrance Mats – Vinyl backed entrance mats are much cheaper than rubber backed, but there is a reason. Rubber is super durable and suitable for high traffic areas, whereas Vinyl or PVC is prone to cracking, splitting or curling and can also creep along the floor.

Bi-Level vs. Flat Entrance Mats – With bi-level entrance mats, the upper surface scrapes and wipes footwear, and the lower level collects and stores the dirt until cleaner, to avoid it being tracked into the building on the surrounding floors. Single layer, or flat entrance mats are usually better for drying, however there is nowhere for the dirt to filter, so it can sometimes be tracked onto the surrounding floors. 

Cotton vs. Nylon Entrance Mats – Cotton entrance mats are great for mopping up water, however it can take a long time to dry, so is best for low traffic areas. In contract, Nylon dries super quickly, and is the preferred choice for busy entrance areas.

Cleaning your Entrance Matting

Keeping your Rubber Door Mats clean is paramount for keeping them effective and performing well. They spend all day removing and holding on to dirt and water, so it is important that they are cleaned regularly so that the don’t become overloaded and therefore less effective. Each mat will have different cleaning instructions, check out the cleaning tab on each product for specific instructions.

3 Mat Entrance System

To get the most out of your mats, using the 3 mat entrance system can provide you extra support in preventing dirt and water from entering your building. The first step of the system is to have a strong rubber outdoor entrance mat. This mat is the first to come in contact with footwear, so it’s ideal to have a mat that can handle heavy mud, moisture and grit. We recommend our Value Rubber Scraper Mat as a great choice.

As soon as people enter your premises, indoor entrance mats are ideal to remove moderate levels of dirt and water. A great suggestion is our Water hog Classic, which is bi level constructed and capable of trapping debris within the mat, making sure it doesn’t get transferred into buildings.

Finally, the finishing mat removes the remains off footwear by absorbing moisture and removing finer dirt and dust. Tri Grip Heavy Duty is one of our most popular and performs extremely well as a finishing mat in high foot traffic areas.

Prevent Slips & Trips with Commercial Entrance Mats

Commercial entrance mats are also great at preventing slips and trips as they can help to absorb excess water, which, if allowed to build up in a reception area or office building, is a health and safety issue. Our most effective commercial door mats to absorb water are Water hog mats. These heavy duty entrance mats are designed for areas of high footfall, such as doorways, corridors and reception areas, they are made with a high-quality water absorbing material that not many other commercial entrance matting can outperform.
