How do entrance mats work?

Entrance mats work hard to wipe dirt and moisture off footwear and wheeled traffic with a rough surface. The fine bristles on the mats not only wipe off dirt, but they also build up static charge, which then attracts and holds the dirt like a magnet. How effective this action is depends on the material of the entry mat.

What different types of entrance mats are available?

There are lots of different types of entrance mats, they are often categorised into two criteria based on whether they are for indoor or exterior use. These two types of doormats are manufactured from different materials to suit their purpose. Mats for outdoor use will often be made from waterproof materials to cope with the weather and to scrape large debris from footwear. Internal door mats are usually made from an absorbent fibre to wipe remaining moisture and dirt.

What are the best outdoor entrance mats?

The best outdoor entrance mats must be robust and durable, withstand the weather conditions of each season and yet be easy to clean. Outdoor mats are often manufactured from rubber or PVC. Once inside, indoor entrance mats should then remove the remaining dirt. A combination of both solutions is therefore recommended.

What are the benefits of rubber entrance mats?

Rubber entrance mats are ideal for outdoor use, they are inexpensive and effective at removing large amounts of dirt and debris. These types of mats tend to have holes, this structure ensures a high absorption capacity, good drainage, high stability and durability of the mat.

What types of exterior entrance mats are available?

There are many different exterior mats available, from rubber entrance mats to PVC entrance mats. Entramat is one of our popular PVC outdoor entrance mats, key features include an open surface structure that ensures good dirt absorption, and the material makes it particularly suitable for highly traffic entrance areas.

Another exterior entrance mat option is one manufactured from a fibre material. These are only sometimes suitable for outdoor use and are mostly used in covered outdoor entrances.

How are indoor door mats different?

Indoor door mats are quite different to outdoor mats, there are more options when it comes to materials, colours and designs available. Door mats don’t have to be just functional, they can look great too and compliment your entrance décor. The purpose of indoor entrance mats is to absorb, wipe dirt and moisture so that contaminants are not transferred to internal floor coverings.

Which materials are used for indoor door entrance mats?

Many different materials are used to manufacture interior entrance mats, each material has different properties and also gives the mat its own characteristics. Popular door mat materials include; coconut fibre, cotton, microfibre, nylon and polypropylene, among many others.

Top Tips for Reducing Downtime in Retail Refurbishment

Are you working on a retail project where new entrance matting is needed? One of the key considerations is how quickly the entrance matting system can be installed in order to reduce down time and limit the risk of disruption to sales.

The replacement of entrance matting is sometimes discounted due to the risk of disruption to sales hours. A closed shop is the last thing a retailer wants. However there are systems and products that can easily be installed in a few hours overnight.

Deciding not to replace entrance matting can also be damaging to sales, because it often gives customers their first impressions of a shop’s brand. If the entrance looks untidy and not well maintained it can leave people with a negative memory.

We recommend choosing the best quality entrance matting system that the budget will allow, so it lasts and continues to contribute to the overall feel of the store. Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life of the entrance matting, reducing the need for full replacements resulting in disruption.

Entrance matting is important aesthetically, but we shouldn’t forget the safety applications. Entrance Matting prevents slips and protects internal floors from dirt and moisture being tracked into the building.
