We understand that in many cases, one size doesn’t fit all—even when it comes to door mats. Many people struggle to find the right size door mat for their entrance or any other area. This is because most mats come in standard, fixed sizes that may not cover specific or complicated spaces effectively.
The good news is that there is a simple solution to this issue. With Made to Measure door mats, you can choose the exact size, colour, and backing option you need. These custom-sized mats ensure complete coverage, even in tricky areas, preventing dirt and moisture from entering your facility.
Why Buy a Made to Measure Door Mat?
Whether it’s for a home, commercial, or industrial entrance, having a properly sized mat is essential for several reasons. The primary benefit is ensuring the mat is both wide and long enough for staff, customers, and visitors to step on. If a mat is too small, people may avoid it, reducing its effectiveness in capturing dirt and moisture.
For example, if an entrance has two small mats instead of a single, correctly sized one, gaps in floor coverage allow dirt and water to be tracked inside, increasing the risk of slips and falls. This demonstrates the importance of a well-fitted mat in maintaining cleanliness and safety.

Types of Made to Measure Door Mats
Understanding the importance of custom-sized mats is the first step. The next step is choosing the right type for your specific requirements.
Tiled Entrance Mats
Tiled entrance mat systems vary in installation complexity. Some modular tiles
fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, making them easy to install without glue or professional assistance. We recommend our Waterhog Classic Modular Tiles, which are designed to withstand high foot traffic while effectively protecting floors.
Made to Measure Well/Recess Mats
Here you need a mat that can be easily cut to the exact size to fit snugly in your well or recess.
We recommend our Custom Size Coir Coconut Matting which is super easy to install into a well/recess and also provides an effective scraping action.
Made to Measure Logo Mats
If you’re going for a custom size mat, did you know you can even customise the design? With Made to Measure Logo mats, your logo or design can make a great impression on guests at the door, while preventing dirt and water from entering the building. We recommend our custom size Heavy-Duty Logo Mat.
