There are many types of mats out there and many that come under the banner of an ‘entrance mat’. The fact is that the performance of different types of entrance mats varies considerably and you want to know you are choosing one which is going to do the job it is intended for, namely:
1. Stop dirt and water at the door
2. Store soil and water for later removal
3. Minimise tracking of soil and water
4. Provide a safe surface to walk on
The video below demonstrates the performance of two types of entrance mats; a traditional nylon entrance mat and a bi-level entrance mat. It clearly shows how effective each type of mat is at stopping dirt and water.
