One of the main ways people choose a mat is on how it looks. First impressions count, an entrance mat is one of the first things a visitor sees when they step foot on your premises. The mat should also be functional, so it needs to be super absorbent to stop the dirt and water being traipsed through your doors.

Functionality and aesthetics don’t always go hand in hand, but in this blog we show you how the two can co-exist to help you make the right decision when purchasing your entrance matting.

Mats can be used to make an entrance area better looking and give your building a modern feel. A good-looking entrance area may say to your visitors and staff that you care about and have pride in your business. A good first impression may well have a positive impact on a person’s view of other parts of your business. It can impact upon your staff too and help attract professionals. The importance of getting your entrance looking right should not be underestimated.

Matting technology has come a long way in recent years. Printed logo mats are vibrant, come in a multitude of colours and can display high resolution images. There’s no better mat to use than a logo mat, to display your branding and show that you are proud of your company identity.  

You can purchase great looking logo mats that are also very functional. The materials they are made from can be very durable and designed to remove dirt and water as well. You just need to bear in mind that if you want to ensure your logo mat remains looking bright and vibrant, then you are likely going to have to clean it more frequently than you would perhaps your normal entrance matting.

Our new Heavy-Duty Logo Mats are made from PET, which is extremely easy to clean and a lot more stain resistant than the usual nylon logo mats you will find in the market.

Don’t want a logo mat?

If you don’t need a logo on your mat, then there are still some great-looking mats out there to choose from. There are mats which can be printed in any colour you wish. Check out our Solid Colour Mats for a truly impressive range of colours offered in a high quality industrial mat for instance.

There are also a wide variety of patterns you can choose from. Our best-selling Waterhog Entrance Mats come in a waffle or herringbone design. They not only look good, but they are also the most effective mats at stopping dirt and water in the industry, so there is no more functional entrance mat you can buy.

Even the shape of an entrance mat can help the entrance to your building look more appealing. The Waterhog Premium Entrance mat does not comply with the thought that ‘all entrance mats must be rectangular’. It has an attractive semi-circular end which is quite befitting of a grand entrance.

Functionality effects looks too

One of the pitfalls to avoid is to buy a mat on looks alone. Yes, looks are important, but if the mat isn’t functional and doesn’t stop the dirt and water, then you’re not going to end up having a good-looking entrance area anyway. Floors will look unsightly and damaged through dirt ingress and wet floor signs will adorn your entrance area, because the mats have failed in their primary function.
