Indoor Door Mats

The busiest space in any building are the entrances. With people walking in and out of buildings all day, every day, this can cause a host of issues, including wet, dirty and slippery floors. Using indoor entrance mats can help you to avoid these issues and improve floor safety in any facility or home.

At Mats4U, we have a wide range of indoor entrance mats including our most popular, the Tri Grip Heavy Duty Mat, MicroLuxx Absorbent Indoor Mat and Waterhog Eco. Our indoor entrance mats prevent dirt and water from tracking their way further into your building and helps to leave dirt at the door. This keeps flooring and carpets free from mess and damage.

Browse our online range of indoor entrance door mats and upgrade the look and feel of your entrance or reception area. Whether you’re looking for something to make your office look more professional or you require a solution for preventing accidents on wet flooring, we have a wide range of commercial mats designed especially for entrance ways and halls. Take our Waterhog classic heavy-duty entrance matting for instance. Available in charcoal, red and blue, this mat is one of the most effective entrance mats to prevent dirt and water from being distributed around your premises from outside. Dirt and moisture fall to the lower level of the mat, which then cannot be transferred.

Why are Indoor Entrance Mats important?

Indoor entrance mats are essential to any facility and can make a huge difference for many reasons. These include:

Improving Health and Safety

The main function of an effective indoor entrance mat or indoor door mat is to prevent dirt and water from entering the property. Without effective indoor matting, this can create slippery, wet floors and create an unsafe walking surface for all, which could lead to a slip or fall accident. Mats are a simple and cost-effective method to enhance health and safety and to reduce accidents.

Cutting Cleaning Costs and Time Spent on Cleaning

Floors in busy environments can quickly become wet and dirty, particularly on rainy days. Can you imagine how often and how long you would spend cleaning floors without any dirt and water prevention in place? Indoor entrance matting can stop the root cause of this problem. Having an indoor entrance mat in place will reduce the need to clean as regularly and therefore reduce the time spent cleaning, helping you to cut cleaning costs.

Protecting Flooring and Carpets from Damage

Dirt and grit can often get tracked into a building on the footwear of visitors. This can cause scratches, damage and scuffs on flooring and carpets. Repairing and replacing floors and carpets can be costly, so investing in indoor entrance mats can protect them from wear and tear and avoid expensive damage.

Enhancing Appearance and Adds to Décor

An indoor entrance mat isn’t just about practicality, it can really bring your entrance to life. They also make a good first impression on visitors while removing dirt and moisture from shoe wear. At Mats4U, we have a range of styles to compliment your décor and create a welcoming haven to guests. You could even try an Indoor Logo or Welcome Mat to great a great first impression and help convey a message to your visitors.

 

Types of Indoor Entrance Door Mats

Bi-level Indoor Entrance Mats – Constructed with raised, crush-proof nubs to aggravate dirt off footwear, and trap below the lower level of mat. This prevents dirt from getting transferred inside the building while soaking excess moisture off footwear. Take a look at our Waterhog Classic and Waterhog Eco mats for example. This style of entrance mat is ideal for heavy traffic areas, such as main entrances, back doors and reception areas, to help to keep your business looking clean and well-maintained.

Indoor Logo Mats – Logo mats add a bit of character to your establishment, as well as help to stop dirt. While they make a good first impression on visitors, they also enhance brand awareness and make your brand more memorable. This is a unique and creative way to convey your message. Whether it’s a logo, graphic, or simple illustration, logo mats allow you to stand out from the crowd.

Please see our logo mats page for more information.

Standard Indoor Entrance Mats – The most used and popular mats on the market. Standard indoor entrance mats can safeguard your floors against dirt and water. Have a look at our most popular, the Tri Grip Heavy Duty.

Absorbent Mats - These mats are specially designed to absorb moisture and trap dirt, keeping your floors clean and dry. They are typically made from absorbent materials such as cotton, microfiber, or an absorbent fibre. Absorbent mats are ideal for areas where wet shoes or boots are common, such as entryways during the rainy or snowy seasons.

Entrance Runner Mats - Runner Mats are long and narrow mats designed to cover extended areas, such as hallways or corridors. They provide a continuous surface for wiping feet and trapping dirt as people walk. Runner mats are available in various materials, including carpet, rubber, or vinyl, and are suitable for both residential and commercial settings.

 

Where can you place indoor entrance mats?

Indoor entrance mats are suitable for all entranceways. From domestic to commercial and industrial. Each indoor entrance mat may differ from the level of traffic it is suited to, so always check you are choosing the right type for your application. We recommend all facilities and homes use indoor entrance mats for all of the reasons previously mentioned.

 

Choosing the Right Indoor Entrance Mat

In order for your indoor entrance mat or door mats to perform well, it’s important to select the right size, type, durability and backing option for your entrance. For example, you wouldn’t get a PVC or vinyl-backed mat for an area with high foot traffic, otherwise, this would deplete the mat’s life span. You would need a heavy-duty mat to endure high foot traffic. Make sure to recognise your needs and see if our item description matches your requirements. For more information, please read our buyer's guide on entrance mats.

 

Made to Measure Indoor Entrance Mats

The majority of indoor entrance mats or indoor door mtas will come in a selection of standard sizes. We know that this will not be suited to every entrance way, that’s why we provide made-to-measure indoor entrance mats for specific areas. We provide mats that are manufactured to your preferred size or cut to size from matting rolls. Our most popular made-to-measure mat is the Tri Grip Heavy Duty.

 

Indoor Entrance Mat Backing Options

To prevent mats from moving, a selection of our mats have a choice of backing options available:

• Flat back for hard floors
• Gripper back for carpeted floors 

Depending on the size and type of mat, sometimes the mat can still be prone to movement or creeping, particularly on plusher carpet piles. For this reason, if you are placing an indoor entrance mat on a carpet, we would recommend Teebaud Anti-Slip Mat Underlay for a more complete solution.

 

When to Replace Your Indoor Entrance Mat

How often you need to replace your indoor entrance matting really depends on how busy your entranceway is. A few obvious signs that may indicate replacement are:

• Hard-to-clean imprints on a mat
• No longer absorbs moisture or removes dirt
• Chipped or cracked edges
• Worn out, ragged appearance

Most of our indoor entrance mats are designed to last up to 5 years, which minimises the need to replace them. The perfect, cost-effective method to keep floors safe and clean.

 

How do I clean my Indoor Entrance Door Mats?

This question will be unique to each type of indoor entrance mat, so always check the cleaning tab on each mat product. If you are looking for a machine washable indoor entrance mat, we recommend our bestselling Tri Grip Heavy Duty Mat.
