Why Use Commercial Entrance Mats?
🧹 Reduce Cleaning Costs
Up to 80% of dirt in buildings is tracked in through entrances. Quality entrance matting stops dirt at the door, significantly reducing cleaning time and costs.
⚠️ Prevent Slip Accidents
Wet floors are a major cause of workplace accidents. Absorbent entrance mats capture moisture before it reaches interior floors, reducing slip hazards.
🏢 Protect Floor Surfaces
Grit and sand act like sandpaper on flooring. Entrance mats trap abrasive particles, extending the life of expensive interior floors.
👔 Professional Appearance
Clean entrances create positive first impressions. Logo mats reinforce branding and demonstrate attention to detail.
✅ HSE Compliance
The Health and Safety Executive recommends entrance matting as a key measure for slip prevention. Protect employees and visitors.
💷 ROI in Months
The cost of entrance matting is recovered within months through reduced cleaning, fewer slip claims, and extended floor life.
Choosing the Right Entrance Mat
| Location | Recommended Mat | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| External entrance | Rubber scraper or coir mat | Heavy scraping, weather resistant |
| Main lobby/foyer | Barrier mat or logo mat | Absorbent, professional look |
| Side entrance | Standard barrier mat | Good dirt capture, cost effective |
| Industrial entrance | Heavy-duty rubber | Withstands heavy traffic, forklifts |
| Recessed matwell | Cut-to-size matting | Flush fit, seamless look |
Three-zone system: For maximum effectiveness, use a scraper mat outside, a scraper/wiper mat inside the door, and an absorbent mat in the lobby. This captures dirt at each stage.
Entrance Mat Size Guide
Effective entrance matting should be large enough for visitors to take 3-4 steps. This ensures both feet make contact with the mat multiple times.
- Minimum: 1.2m x 0.8m – residential or light traffic
- Standard: 1.5m x 1.0m – most commercial entrances
- Large: 2.0m x 1.5m – high traffic buildings
- Extra large: 3.0m+ – main entrances, shopping centres

Entrance Mats FAQ
How often should entrance mats be cleaned?
Daily vacuuming is recommended for high-traffic areas. Deep clean weekly or monthly depending on traffic levels. Some mats can be pressure washed; check care instructions. Regular cleaning maintains effectiveness and appearance.
Can I get mats with my company logo?
Yes, we offer custom logo mats printed with your company branding, logo, or message. Provide your artwork and we'll create a professional entrance mat that reinforces your brand. Contact us for pricing and lead times.
What's the difference between scraper and barrier mats?
Scraper mats have a coarse surface (rubber ridges or coir) that removes heavy dirt from shoes. Barrier mats have an absorbent pile that captures fine dirt and moisture. Ideally, use both: scraper outside, barrier inside.
Are entrance mats a slip hazard?
Quality entrance mats with rubber or vinyl backing stay firmly in place and actually reduce slip hazards by removing water from floors. Ensure mats lie flat without curled edges. Consider mats with bevelled edges for a smooth transition.
Do you supply matwell frames?
Yes, we supply aluminium matwell frames for recessed entrance mat installations. These create a professional flush finish. Contact us with your matwell dimensions for a quote on frames and fitted matting.
