Indoor Door Mats

Benefits of Indoor Entrance Mats

Our indoor door mat range helps to reduce the volume of dust, dirt and damp brought into a building. Indoor entrance mats found at the entry points of a building control the risk of employees or visitors slipping by providing them with somewhere to wipe off their feet, which also reduces the amount of cleaning and upkeep for your maintenance team. Ensure floors are safe to walk on and protect carpets and interiors, while at the same time keep your entrance clean and tidy with the addition of large door mats or an indoor door matting system.

How Tough are Indoor Door Mats?

Indoor door mats at an entrance are, depending on the size of your space, likely to be handling a lot of footfall. Schools, supermarkets, and airports will need a tough, hard-wearing mat compared to the entrance of a smaller shop, place of worship, or office. Choosing a mat that has a suitable pile, the correct rubber backing, and is absorbent for high footfall areas is key for a successful entrance.

Our range of indoor door mats includes heavy duty mats as well as coir mats, which are both examples of longer lasting, tough entrance mats.

Indoor Door Mat Backing

Indoor entrance mats are available with natural rubber backing or PVC backing. Natural rubber is heavier than synthetic materials, which will help keep the mat in place and give the mat more grip. The heavier material is useful for achieving accessibility goals as it allows wheelchair and pushchair users to comfortably visit your commercial space. Our indoor mat ranges come with options for carpeted floors or hard flooring.

We also supply mat well mats, which sit inside an inlay making them level with the rest of your flooring.

Choosing Indoor Mats for Commercial Spaces

Indoor doormats are available in a range of styles, colours and sizes, with custom options available. As the first thing people see when entering a doorway, choosing the right indoor entrance mat is very important to give the best impression possible.

Custom branding of indoor mats is often overlooked but is vitally important to help with the overall look of any premises if it is a business. Coir logo matting makes a great entrance mat, providing protection for your flooring, adaptable as it can be cut to the correct size for your entrance, whilst also being customisable so that you welcome customers or visitors into your property.

Other customers prefer heavy duty commercial matting as it is absorbent hard wearing and practical for indoor entrances with large footfall such as in schools or retail outlets.

When indoor entrance mats are used in conjunction with effective outdoor entrance mats, together they act as a dual matting system, ensuring optimum mat performance at all times keeping your business clean and tidy.

This way you can view the mat and make any adjustments before placing a final order.

Maintain & Clean Your Indoor Mats

Depending on the material chosen for the indoor entrance mat, the cleaning methods will be entirely different. In our indoor mats collection, we flag the doormats, which are suitable for machine-washing with an icon in case you require the ability to do this.

Any indoor doormat will need to be regularly cleaned to remain tidy and fresh, but also to be able to work effectively. It is well documented that cleaning will make the mat last longer and help protect your internal floors.

Most indoor entrance mats, including coir, simply require a regular hoover or brush to collect up the excess dirt and dust.

How Big Should Indoor Entrance Mats Be?

The size of the indoor door mat will always depend on the space you have available and need to cover. Most standard door mats will usually measure 18 x 30 inches for an average single doorway. At Mats Nationwide, we have small indoor mats widely available across our range. Choosing a mat that is too small however, will result in moisture not being captured at the entry points of the building. Thankfully we specialise in large indoor entrance mats, which will give visitors enough space to walk over and reduce the likelihood of dirt being walked inside. To ensure the best results in your home or business, our large indoor entrance mats are made using premium materials, which are both durable and absorbent.

Choosing the Length of Your Indoor Entrance Mat

When measuring the space you need to cover, it’s important to remember that, as a general rule of thumb, the indoor entrance mat should cover about 80% of the width of your doorway.

To pick the right indoor entrance mat length, what you can do is follow another general rule of thumb. Choosing a mat length that allows visitors to take two steps, will give your space a barrier against dirt and grime entering your premises.

If you need to get a larger mat, you can look to pick a size that allows for further footsteps. Alternatively, you can mark out the four corners of the mat on the floor to help you visualise what size you actually need and compare that length to the mats we have available.

Choosing the Right Colour for Your Indoor Door Mat

Finding a suitable colour for an inside doormat won’t be difficult as we have a selection available to choose from. Our printed door mats, for example, have been used across a range of clients all with different colour requirements. Our solid colour mat range also shows the scope that you can choose from. With custom branding and logos available, a new indoor doormat will fit right in with the interior space it is being purchased for.

What Colour Works Best for Hiding Dirt?

At times, it can be quick for an indoor mat to pick up dirt and potentially lose its colouring. A bright colour such as red may wear over time. Choosing a dark colour for busier areas can help retain dirt and grime and prevent it from showing in key areas such as the main office entrance. Our indoor mats are also available flecked in colour, which offers another opportunity to help hide dirt and grime in your entrance.
