Entrance door mats, also known simply as doormats, are essential household items placed at the entrance of a home or business to help keep the interior clean by trapping dirt, mud, dust, and moisture from people's shoes. They serve both functional and aesthetic purposes.
Commercial entrance mats are specifically designed for use in high-traffic commercial and business settings. These mats are built to withstand heavy foot traffic, harsh weather conditions, and provide enhanced safety and cleanliness for businesses.
Custom logo entrance door mats are personalised with a business's logo or branding. They not only enhance the entrance's aesthetic appeal but also promote brand recognition. Logo mats can be made from various materials, including carpet, rubber, or vinyl.
Water cooler mats also known as water dispenser mats or water spill mats, are specialised mats designed to be placed under water coolers or water dispensers.
The primary purpose of water cooler mats is to protect the floor from spills and drips that can occur when using a water cooler or dispenser. These mats have a waterproof or water-resistant surface that prevents water from seeping into the floor, which can cause damage or staining.
Rubber door mats are durable and resistant to moisture, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They come in various designs, including plain rubber mats and those with textured surfaces for added traction.
Microfiber door mats are highly absorbent and can hold a significant amount of moisture. They are great for indoor use, especially in areas prone to wet shoes.
Scraper door mats have raised ridges or patterns that effectively scrape dirt and debris off shoes. They are excellent at preventing dirt from entering a building.
Runner mats are long and narrow mats typically used in hallways or large entrance areas. They provide a continuous walking surface and can be custom-cut to fit specific spaces. They serve well in hight traffic areas, protecting floors from wear and tear caused by foot traffic and potential damage from debris, dirt, and moisture. They act as a barrier, preserving the underlying flooring 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.
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.
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.
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.
Look for mats that are durable and can withstand heavy foot traffic. Rubber mats are typically very durable and suitable for high-traffic areas.
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.
To ensure safety, especially during wet weather, choose a mat with a non-slip backing to prevent it from moving around.
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.
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.
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.
Overall, entrance door mats are a practical and stylish addition to any home or business, helping to keep interiors cleaner and more inviting while also protecting floors from wear and tear.
When choosing an entrance door mat, consider factors such as the amount of foot traffic, weather conditions, and the specific cleaning and maintenance requirements.
Different mats serve different purposes, so selecting the right type will
help keep your entrance clean and safe.

about Indoor Entrance Mat with Nylon Monofilaments 1200x1800mm Grey Doortex Ultimat |
||
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." | ||
