 key Aspects To Consider When It Comes To Entrance Door Mats

Material

 Door mats can be made from various materials, including rubber, coir (coconut husk fiber), nylon, polyester, and microfiber. The choice of material depends on your specific needs, such as durability, moisture absorption, or aesthetics.

Size

 The size of the mat should be appropriate for your entrance area. A common size for a residential door mat is 18x30 inches, but larger mats are available for commercial or wider entrances.

Design and Style

 Doormats come in a wide range of designs and styles to match your decor. You can find plain, colorful, patterned, or personalized mats. Some may also have seasonal or holiday-themed designs.

Functionality

 Consider the mat's functionality based on your location and weather conditions. If you live in a rainy or snowy area, choose a mat with good moisture-wicking properties. Mats with raised patterns or ridges are often better at trapping dirt and debris.

Durability

Look for mats that are durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic. Rubber mats are typically very durable and suitable for high-traffic areas.

Maintenance

Check if the mat is easy to clean. Some mats can be shaken out, vacuumed, or hosed down, while others may require more elaborate cleaning methods.

Non-Slip Backing

To ensure safety, especially during wet weather, choose a mat with a non-slip backing to prevent it from moving around.

Indoor or Outdoor Use

 Some mats are designed for outdoor use, while others are better suited for indoor entrances. Make sure you choose the right type for your specific needs.

Personalisation

 Personalised mats with your business or family name or a welcoming message can add a personal touch to your entrance and make guests feel more welcome.

Price

Doormat prices can vary widely depending on the material and design. Set a budget based on your needs and preferences.

Remember that entrance door mats require regular cleaning to maintain their effectiveness. Depending on the weather and foot traffic, you may need to clean or replace them periodically.

	Well Worth the Money!
	"Far easier to clean or replace a mat than replace or clean a full carpet! The mat has been well worth the money. It is durable and the mat has a good grip when on tiled floors. Very easy to get dust off of it, but it is also good at trapping the dust."

	Great Quality!
	"This definitely is brilliant at dust control! It is easy for dust to gather on tiled floors like we have in the restaurant, and this mat helps to limit the amount that enters through the door so we don't have to clean half as much up. I also like the colour of the mat, it is not dull and black but still blends into the interior design of the restaurant."

	about   VFM Charcoal Deluxe Entrance Mat 610x914mm (2x3ft) Mat Mr Brush Step 312081
	Looks like Simple Door Mat!
	"Looks like simple door mat, but works like heavy duty booth scraper. Whatever material is made of, it just scrapes of any mood and moisture of the shoes, so there is no dirty, slippy tiles in our reception area - just an absolute must have for any reception area, no matter what is the season!"

	Allan Jones
	about  Entrance Mat Washable 1150x1750mm Black/Brown 312469
	Brilliant Product!
	"We have very slippy tiled floors in the waiting area of our office. Not only is it a nuisance cleaning up footprints constantly, it is also very dangerous. Having the mat at the door lets people dry of their shoes and it is much safer to walk on the tiles then. It can be washed too which is brilliant as it can start to look a bit dirty after a few weeks."
