Make an Entrance with Super Absorbent Mats
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.
Good looking entrance mats
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.
The Benefits of Super Absorbent Mats for Your Home and Business
Maintaining cleanliness and safety in any environment is crucial, whether it’s your home or business. One of the most effective tools to achieve this is the use of super absorbent mats. These mats are designed to trap and hold large amounts of moisture, making them an essential addition to any space. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of super absorbent mats and why they are a must-have for both residential and commercial settings.
Keeping Floors Dry and Safe
One of the primary benefits of super absorbent mats is their ability to keep floors dry. These mats are designed to soak up moisture from shoes, spills, and other sources, preventing water from spreading across the floor. This is particularly important in high-traffic areas where wet floors can pose a significant safety hazard. By keeping floors dry, super absorbent mats help reduce the risk of slips and falls, creating a safer environment for everyone.
Protecting Flooring
Moisture can cause significant damage to flooring over time. Water can seep into the material, leading to warping, staining, and deterioration. Super absorbent mats act as a barrier, trapping moisture before it can reach the floor. This helps protect your flooring from damage, extending its lifespan and saving you money on repairs and replacements.
Enhancing Cleanliness
Super absorbent mats are highly effective at trapping dirt, mud, and other debris. By placing these mats at entry points, you can prevent dirt from being tracked into your home or business. This not only keeps your floors cleaner but also reduces the amount of time and effort required for cleaning. A cleaner environment is more inviting and pleasant for both residents and visitors.
Improving Indoor Air Quality
Dirt and moisture can contribute to poor indoor air quality, leading to respiratory issues and allergies. Super absorbent mats help improve indoor air quality by trapping dirt and moisture at the door. This prevents these contaminants from spreading throughout your space, promoting a healthier environment for everyone.
Versatile Applications
Super absorbent mats are incredibly versatile and can be used in various settings. Here are some common applications:
- Residential Entrances: Place super absorbent mats at the entrance of your home to keep dirt and moisture from being tracked inside.
- Commercial Entrances: Use these mats in office buildings, retail stores, and other commercial spaces to maintain cleanliness and safety.
- Kitchens and Bathrooms: Super absorbent mats are perfect for areas prone to spills and moisture, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
- Industrial Settings: In warehouses and factories, these mats can help keep floors dry and safe, reducing the risk of accidents.
Choosing the Right Super Absorbent Mats
When selecting super absorbent mats, consider the following factors:
-
Material: Look for mats made from high-quality, absorbent materials such as microfiber or polypropylene. These materials are excellent at trapping moisture and dirt.
-
Size and Placement: Ensure the mats are appropriately sized for the areas where they will be placed. Larger mats provide more surface area for trapping moisture and dirt.
-
Durability: Choose mats that are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and regular use. High-quality mats will last longer and provide better performance.
-
Ease of Cleaning: Opt for mats that are easy to clean and maintain. Regular cleaning will ensure they remain effective at trapping moisture and dirt.
-
Aesthetic Appeal: While functionality is key, the appearance of the mat also matters. Choose mats that complement your decor and create a welcoming entrance.
Conclusion
Super absorbent mats are an essential investment for maintaining cleanliness and safety in any environment. They keep floors dry, protect flooring, enhance cleanliness, improve indoor air quality, and offer versatile applications. By choosing the right super absorbent mats, you can create a cleaner, safer, and more inviting space for everyone. Invest in high-quality super absorbent mats today and experience the numerous benefits they bring to your home or business.
