We understand that in a lot of cases, one size doesn’t fit all, even with door mats. Many people face the issue of not finding the right size door mat for their entrance or any other area. That’s because the majority of mats come in a selection of standard, fixed sizes that cannot cover specific/complicated areas.
On the bright side, there is a simple solution on how to tackle this issue. With Made to Measure door mats, you are able to pick the size, colour, and even backing option you require. Made to Measure door mats are guaranteed to cover even tricky surface areas and prevent dirt and water from entering into facilities.
Why buy a Made to Measure door mat?
Whether it’s a door mat for your home, commercial or industrial entrance, it’s important for your mat to be the correct size for a number of reasons. The main reason is so that the mat is both wide and long enough for your staff, customers and visitors to walk over. Otherwise, the mat can be easily avoided, and is unable to capture enough dirt and moisture from footwear. Take a look at the image below as an example.
As you can see from the image, there are 2 separate mats at the entranceway. You can also see that these mats are not big enough to capture debris. The exposed floor space allows dirt and moisture to enter the facility, which enables the risk of slip and fall accidents. This highlights the importance of having the right size mat for your entranceway, as it serves the purpose of eliminating dirt and water as soon as customers or visitors pass over them.
The benefits of having a Made to Measure door mat are:
- Absorbs moisture and eliminates dirt, which keeps your floors safe and clean
- Minimises the risk of slip and fall accidents
- Reduces cleaning costs
- Improves aesthetics – Looks neater and more impressive to visitors
- Provides floors with protection from damage
- Meets health and safety requirements

Now that you understand the importance of Made to Measure door mats, there are various types to choose from. It’s best to pick a custom size mat that is best suited for your requirements.

We recommend our Waterhog Classic Modular Tiles. Designed to endure high foot traffic while protecting your floors.

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.
