About This Mat
Description
jjjj
Rain, wet footwear and heavy foot traffic can quickly turn clean entrances into slippery, untidy spaces. Without effective moisture control, water is carried further into your building, increasing cleaning costs, creating potential slip hazards and leaving a poor first impression.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been developed to tackle exactly that problem. Designed for busy indoor entrances, it combines advanced moisture-absorbing fibres with a durable nitrile rubber backing to capture water and dirt before it reaches your floors.
Unlike standard entrance mats that focus primarily on scraping dirt, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is engineered to absorb and retain significant amounts of moisture while continuing to perform under heavy daily foot traffic. This makes it an excellent choice for commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, offices and any environment where keeping floors clean, dry and safe is a priority.
Its premium surface is manufactured using regenerated ECONYL® nylon microfibre, blended with recycled nylon fibres to create a dense, highly absorbent pile that maintains its appearance even in demanding environments. Beneath the surface, a heavy-duty nitrile rubber backing helps keep the mat securely in place while providing excellent durability for long-term commercial use.
Available in a choice of contemporary colours, standard sizes and custom-made options, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat offers an ideal balance of performance, sustainability and professional appearance for businesses that demand more from their entrance matting.
From the Mats4U Team
We've found that many customers assume all entrance mats perform in the same way, but that's simply not the case.
If your biggest challenge is removing heavy dirt and grit, a scraper mat may be the right solution. However, if you're dealing with rain, wet shoes and water being walked through your building, an absorbent entrance mat like the MicroLuxx® is designed to tackle that problem more effectively.
For many commercial buildings, moisture is the biggest cause of slippery floors and increased cleaning, which is why investing in the right absorbent mat can make a noticeable difference to both safety and day-to-day maintenance.

If you're ever unsure what a specification means or which product is best for your entrance, our team is always happy to explain the differences and help you choose the right solution.
Why Moisture Control Matters
(Click to open/close)
When people enter a building on a wet day, they're not just bringing in water—they're carrying moisture, dirt and debris that can quickly spread throughout the building.
Without an effective absorbent entrance mat, water is tracked further indoors with every step. This not only creates a less welcoming environment but can also increase cleaning requirements, contribute to premature floor wear and reduce traction on hard flooring.
A high-quality absorbent mat helps stop this at the entrance by capturing moisture from footwear before it has a chance to spread.
Cleaner Floors, Less Cleaning
The more moisture that's removed at the door, the less water reaches your internal floors.
This helps reduce the amount of mopping and maintenance required throughout the day while keeping entrance areas looking cleaner and more professional for visitors, customers and employees.
Improved Safety
Wet floors can become slippery, particularly on smooth surfaces such as vinyl, tiles, polished concrete and stone.
By helping to retain moisture within the mat, absorbent entrance matting contributes to a drier walking surface and supports a safer environment for everyone entering the building.
Protect Your Flooring Investment
Water, grit and fine dirt don't just make floors look untidy—they can also increase wear over time.
By capturing moisture and debris at the entrance, absorbent matting helps reduce the amount of contamination carried further into the building, helping to preserve the appearance of your interior flooring.
A Better First Impression
Your entrance is often the first thing visitors experience.
A clean, dry entrance creates a more welcoming environment and demonstrates that your business takes pride in its premises. Whether it's an office reception, hotel lobby, school or healthcare facility, effective entrance matting plays an important role in maintaining a professional appearance.
Good to Know
Absorbent entrance mats work best as part of a well-planned entrance matting system.
In busy commercial environments, they're often positioned immediately inside the entrance after an external scraper mat. The scraper mat removes heavier dirt and grit, while the absorbent mat captures the remaining moisture before it's carried further into the building.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that an entrance mat only needs to scrape dirt from shoes.
In reality, water is often the greater challenge. Moisture can be carried surprisingly far into a building, increasing cleaning time and affecting the appearance and safety of internal floors.
That's why absorbent entrance mats like the MicroLuxx® are designed to focus on moisture management. By helping to stop water at the entrance, they make a noticeable difference to cleanliness, maintenance and the overall experience for everyone who walks through your doors.
Why Choose the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat?
(Click to open/close)
Not all absorbent entrance mats are built to the same standard. While many mats are designed to capture some dirt and moisture, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been engineered for demanding commercial environments where performance, durability and appearance all matter.
By combining advanced absorbent fibres with a heavy-duty nitrile rubber backing, it helps keep entrances cleaner, drier and safer while maintaining its professional appearance under everyday use.
Whether you're protecting the entrance to an office, school, healthcare facility, retail store or public building, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed to deliver reliable performance day after day.
Outstanding Moisture Absorption
The MicroLuxx® surface has been developed to absorb and retain significant amounts of moisture from footwear, helping to prevent water from being tracked further into your building.
By capturing moisture where it enters, the mat helps reduce wet floors and supports a cleaner entrance throughout the day.
Built for Busy Commercial Entrances
Heavy foot traffic places constant demands on entrance matting.
The dense pile construction is designed to maintain its performance and appearance under everyday commercial use, making it suitable for entrances that experience frequent pedestrian traffic.
Premium Nitrile Rubber Backing
Beneath the absorbent surface is a high-quality nitrile rubber backing that provides excellent durability, flexibility and slip resistance.
Unlike lower-quality vinyl backings that can become brittle over time, nitrile rubber is widely recognised for its long-lasting performance in commercial entrance matting.
A More Sustainable Choice
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is manufactured using regenerated ECONYL® nylon, helping to reduce the use of virgin raw materials without compromising performance.
Combined with recycled content in the nitrile rubber backing, it's a practical choice for organisations looking to make more environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.
Easy to Maintain
A commercial entrance mat should continue performing with minimal disruption.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed for straightforward maintenance through regular vacuuming and can also be commercially laundered or cleaned using a carpet extraction machine when required, helping to extend its service life.
Available in Standard and Custom Sizes
Every entrance is different.
That's why the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is available in a range of standard sizes as well as custom-made options, allowing you to choose a mat that fits your entrance and helps maximise moisture control.
From the Mats4U Team
We've supplied entrance matting to businesses across a wide range of industries, and one thing we've learned is that moisture control is often overlooked until it becomes a problem.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat stands out because it combines excellent absorbency with the durability needed for everyday commercial use. Rather than simply drying shoes, it's designed to help protect your flooring, reduce cleaning requirements and keep your entrance looking professional throughout the day.
Advanced Moisture Absorption Technology
(Click to open/close)
The performance of an absorbent entrance mat depends on more than just the materials it's made from. It's the way those materials work together that determines how effectively the mat captures and retains moisture.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been engineered with a dense, high-performance pile that combines regenerated ECONYL® nylon microfibre with recycled nylon fibres. This carefully designed construction helps remove moisture from footwear quickly while continuing to perform under the demands of busy commercial environments.
Rather than allowing water to remain on the surface, the fibres are designed to draw moisture into the pile, helping to keep the walking surface drier for the next person entering the building.
More Surface Area, Better Moisture Capture
One of the reasons the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat performs so effectively is the inclusion of fine microfibre within the pile.
These finer fibres create a greater surface area throughout the mat, providing more contact with footwear and more places for moisture to be retained. Combined with the surrounding nylon fibres, this creates an absorbent surface that helps manage water more efficiently than many traditional entrance mats.
Designed to Perform Day After Day
Busy entrances experience constant foot traffic, particularly during wet weather.
The dense pile construction is designed to resist flattening under normal commercial use, helping the mat maintain its absorbent properties and professional appearance over time. Regular maintenance also helps restore the pile and maximise long-term performance.
Moisture Control That Supports Safer Entrances
An effective absorbent mat doesn't just help keep floors cleaner—it also plays an important role in managing the amount of water carried into a building.
By helping to retain moisture within the mat, the MicroLuxx® reduces the amount of water transferred onto surrounding floor surfaces, supporting cleaner, drier entrances throughout the day.
Good to Know
For the best overall entrance performance, absorbent mats are often used as the second stage of an entrance matting system.
An external scraper mat removes heavier dirt and grit before people enter the building, while an absorbent mat like the MicroLuxx® captures the remaining moisture from footwear. Together, they create a more effective barrier against dirt and water being carried indoors.
From the Mats4U Team
Many absorbent mats look similar at first glance, but the difference is often in the fibre construction.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been developed to do more than simply provide a soft surface underfoot. Its specialised fibre blend and dense pile are designed to capture and retain moisture efficiently, helping to reduce the amount of water tracked further into your building. Combined with regular maintenance and the right entrance matting system, it offers a practical, long-lasting solution for keeping busy entrances clean, dry and welcoming.
Made with Regenerated ECONYL® Nylon
(Click to open/close)
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is manufactured using regenerated ECONYL® nylon, an innovative material that combines outstanding commercial performance with a more sustainable approach to manufacturing.
ECONYL® is produced by recovering nylon waste, including discarded fishing nets, fabric offcuts and other industrial materials, before regenerating it into high-quality nylon fibre. The result is a premium material that delivers the same durability and performance as virgin nylon while helping to reduce waste and conserve valuable resources.
For businesses looking to make more environmentally responsible purchasing decisions, it's a practical way to improve entrance safety and cleanliness without compromising on quality.
Built to Perform in Commercial Environments
Choosing a more sustainable material shouldn't mean accepting lower performance.
ECONYL® fibres are engineered to withstand the demands of busy commercial entrances, offering excellent durability, colour retention and resistance to everyday wear. This helps the MicroLuxx® maintain its appearance and absorbent performance, even in areas with frequent foot traffic.
Supporting More Sustainable Choices
The environmental benefits don't stop with the surface fibres.
The heavy-duty nitrile rubber backing also contains recycled material, reducing the use of virgin raw materials while maintaining the strength, flexibility and durability expected from a commercial entrance mat.
Together, these materials create an entrance mat that's designed to perform reliably while supporting organisations that are working towards more sustainable procurement goals.
Quality That Lasts
One of the most sustainable choices you can make is investing in products that are built to last.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed for long-term commercial use and can be cleaned and maintained to help extend its service life. A durable entrance mat that continues to perform over many years reduces the need for frequent replacement, helping to minimise waste as well as ongoing costs.
From the Mats4U Team
Sustainability should never come at the expense of performance.
That's one of the reasons we like the MicroLuxx® range. It combines high-quality regenerated materials with the durability needed for demanding commercial environments, giving businesses a product that performs exceptionally well while supporting more responsible use of resources.
Whether sustainability is a key purchasing requirement or simply an added benefit, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat delivers both environmental consideration and dependable everyday performance.
Designed for Heavy Commercial Use
(Click to open/close)
An entrance mat is one of the hardest-working products in any building. Day after day it has to cope with constant foot traffic, wet footwear, dirt and repeated cleaning while continuing to look professional and perform effectively.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been designed with these demanding environments in mind. Every component, from the absorbent pile to the nitrile rubber backing, has been selected to provide dependable performance in busy commercial entrances.
Whether it's installed in an office reception, school, healthcare facility, retail store or public building, it's built to withstand everyday use while helping to keep entrances cleaner, drier and safer.
Durable Pile Construction
The dense, high-quality pile is designed to withstand frequent pedestrian traffic while maintaining its absorbent properties and smart appearance.
With regular maintenance, the fibres continue to perform effectively, helping the mat provide reliable moisture control throughout its service life.
Heavy-Duty Nitrile Rubber Backing
A quality entrance mat needs a backing that's just as durable as its surface.
The MicroLuxx® features a premium nitrile rubber backing that offers excellent flexibility, strength and slip resistance. Nitrile rubber is widely used in commercial entrance matting because it performs well under demanding conditions and resists cracking and deterioration far better than many lower-quality alternatives.
Reinforced Edges for Everyday Durability
The reinforced rubber borders help the mat maintain its shape while providing a neat, professional finish.
They're designed to cope with the demands of busy entrances and frequent cleaning, helping the mat continue looking its best over time.
Designed for Long-Term Performance
Commercial entrance matting is an investment, and choosing a durable product helps maximise its value.
By combining high-quality materials with robust construction, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed to provide dependable performance for years of everyday use when properly maintained.
Good to Know
A durable entrance mat isn't just about the surface fibres—it's the combination of the pile, backing and overall construction that determines how well it performs over time.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed so that each component works together to provide long-lasting moisture control and durability. Regular vacuuming and periodic deep cleaning will help maintain its appearance and ensure it continues to perform effectively in busy commercial environments.
From the Mats4U Team
When choosing an entrance mat, it's easy to focus on how it looks on day one. We believe it's just as important to consider how it will perform after months or even years of daily use.
That's why we like the MicroLuxx® range. It isn't just designed to absorb moisture effectively—it has the build quality needed to cope with busy commercial environments where reliability matters. For businesses investing in entrance matting, long-term performance is every bit as important as first impressions.
Choosing the Right Size & Backing
(Click to open/close)
Choosing the right entrance mat is about more than simply selecting a size. To achieve the best moisture control and long-term performance, it's important to choose a mat that suits both your entrance and your flooring.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is available in a range of standard sizes, as well as custom-made options, making it easy to find a solution that fits almost any entrance.
Choosing the Right Size
A larger entrance mat gives footwear more opportunities to make contact with the absorbent fibres, helping to remove more moisture before people walk further into your building.
Where space allows, choosing the largest practical mat will generally provide the best performance, particularly in busy commercial entrances.
If you're replacing an existing mat, measuring your current mat or entrance area is a good starting point. If you're fitting the mat into a recessed mat well, be sure to measure the internal dimensions carefully to ensure a suitable fit.
Standard or Custom-Made?
Many entrances are perfectly suited to one of our standard sizes, offering a quick and convenient solution.
However, if your entrance has unusual dimensions or you're fitting the mat into a recessed mat well, a custom-made MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat can provide a neater appearance and maximise the amount of moisture captured.
Choosing the Right Backing
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is available with two backing options, allowing you to choose the version that's best suited to your flooring.
Flat Back
The flat back is designed for hard floor surfaces such as vinyl, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), laminate, wood, stone, polished concrete and ceramic tiles.
Gripper Back
The gripper back features small rubber cleats that help the mat remain securely positioned on carpeted floors. This version is intended for use on carpets and should not be used on hard floor surfaces.
Selecting the correct backing helps the mat perform as intended while providing the best possible stability during everyday use.
Need Help Choosing?
If you're unsure which size or backing is right for your entrance, we're always happy to help.
Our team can advise on suitable dimensions, backing options and the best way to achieve effective moisture control based on your flooring and the level of foot traffic your entrance receives.
Good to Know
An absorbent mat performs best when it's positioned where people naturally walk after entering the building.
Where possible, place the mat so that visitors take several steps across it before reaching your internal flooring. The more contact footwear has with the absorbent fibres, the more moisture and dirt can be removed before it's carried further inside.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common questions we receive is, "What size entrance mat do I need?"
Our answer is usually simple: choose the largest size that comfortably fits your entrance. A larger mat provides more walking surface, giving the absorbent fibres more opportunity to remove moisture from footwear.
If your entrance has an unusual shape or a recessed mat well, a custom-made MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is often the best solution. Not only does it create a cleaner, more professional appearance, but it also helps you get the maximum performance from your entrance matting investment.
Where the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat Performs Best

Whether installed in libraries, museums, sports centres or community buildings, the MicroLuxx® helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture entering the premises while maintaining a professional appearance.
Good to Know
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is intended for indoor use and performs best when positioned immediately inside an entrance.
For the highest level of protection, consider using it as part of a complete entrance matting system. An outdoor scraper mat can remove heavier dirt and grit before visitors enter the building, while the MicroLuxx® focuses on absorbing the remaining moisture indoors.
From the Mats4U Team
One question we're often asked is whether an absorbent mat is only suitable for large commercial buildings.
The answer is no. While the MicroLuxx® is built to meet the demands of busy commercial environments, it's equally effective anywhere that moisture control is important. From a small office reception or home to a large public entrance, the principle is the same—capturing water at the door before it's carried further inside.
That's why we recommend choosing the MicroLuxx® whenever your priority is keeping indoor floors cleaner, drier and safer, especially during periods of wet weather. It provides dependable moisture control while maintaining the professional appearance expected in modern commercial spaces.
Cleaning & Care
(Click to open/close)
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat performing at its best. As the mat captures dirt and moisture from footwear, routine maintenance helps restore the fibres, maintain absorbency and keep your entrance looking clean and professional.
The exact cleaning frequency will depend on the amount of foot traffic and the conditions outside. Entrances exposed to frequent rain or heavy daily use will naturally require more regular maintenance than quieter areas.
Daily Maintenance
For most commercial environments, regular vacuuming is the simplest and most effective way to remove loose dirt and debris from the mat's surface.
In busy entrances, daily vacuuming is recommended. Areas with lighter foot traffic may only require vacuuming a few times each week.
Removing surface dirt before it becomes embedded helps the absorbent fibres continue working efficiently.
Deep Cleaning
Over time, absorbent entrance mats benefit from a more thorough clean to remove trapped dirt and restore their appearance.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat can be cleaned using a carpet extraction machine or professionally laundered following the manufacturer's recommended washing instructions.
After cleaning, always allow the mat to dry completely before placing it back into service. If the mat has been commercially laundered, allow it to cool before rolling or storing.
Commercial Laundering
For organisations using commercial laundry services, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been designed to withstand professional laundering when cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
For heavily soiled mats, wash temperatures may be increased in line with the manufacturer's guidance. Low pH, non-ionic detergents are recommended, and excessive drying temperatures should be avoided to help maximise the life of the mat.
The complete commercial laundering procedure can be found in the product specifications above.
Looking After Your Investment
A well-maintained entrance mat doesn't just look better—it performs better too.
Regular cleaning helps maintain the mat's ability to capture moisture and dirt while extending its service life. Establishing a simple maintenance routine can help ensure consistent performance throughout the year, particularly during periods of wet weather when entrance matting is working its hardest.
Good to Know
A mat that looks clean isn't always clean.
Over time, fine dirt and moisture can become trapped deep within the pile, reducing the mat's ability to absorb water effectively. Regular vacuuming combined with periodic deep cleaning helps restore the fibres and maintain optimum performance.
If your entrance experiences particularly heavy foot traffic, rotating multiple mats can also help ensure one mat is always available while another is being cleaned.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest factors affecting the lifespan of any entrance mat isn't the amount of foot traffic—it’s how well it's maintained.
We've found that businesses with a regular cleaning routine often get significantly better long-term performance from their entrance matting. A few minutes of routine maintenance can help preserve the mat's appearance, maintain its absorbent properties and keep your entrance looking welcoming day after day.
A quality entrance mat is an investment, and with the right care, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed to deliver reliable moisture control for many years.

When people enter a building on a wet day, they're not just bringing in water—they're carrying moisture, dirt and debris that can quickly spread throughout the building.
Without an effective absorbent entrance mat, water is tracked further indoors with every step. This not only creates a less welcoming environment but can also increase cleaning requirements, contribute to premature floor wear and reduce traction on hard flooring.
A high-quality absorbent mat helps stop this at the entrance by capturing moisture from footwear before it has a chance to spread.
Cleaner Floors, Less Cleaning
The more moisture that's removed at the door, the less water reaches your internal floors.
This helps reduce the amount of mopping and maintenance required throughout the day while keeping entrance areas looking cleaner and more professional for visitors, customers and employees.
Improved Safety
Wet floors can become slippery, particularly on smooth surfaces such as vinyl, tiles, polished concrete and stone.
By helping to retain moisture within the mat, absorbent entrance matting contributes to a drier walking surface and supports a safer environment for everyone entering the building.
Protect Your Flooring Investment
Water, grit and fine dirt don't just make floors look untidy—they can also increase wear over time.
By capturing moisture and debris at the entrance, absorbent matting helps reduce the amount of contamination carried further into the building, helping to preserve the appearance of your interior flooring.
A Better First Impression
Your entrance is often the first thing visitors experience.
A clean, dry entrance creates a more welcoming environment and demonstrates that your business takes pride in its premises. Whether it's an office reception, hotel lobby, school or healthcare facility, effective entrance matting plays an important role in maintaining a professional appearance.
Good to Know
Absorbent entrance mats work best as part of a well-planned entrance matting system.
In busy commercial environments, they're often positioned immediately inside the entrance after an external scraper mat. The scraper mat removes heavier dirt and grit, while the absorbent mat captures the remaining moisture before it's carried further into the building.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest misconceptions we hear is that an entrance mat only needs to scrape dirt from shoes.
In reality, water is often the greater challenge. Moisture can be carried surprisingly far into a building, increasing cleaning time and affecting the appearance and safety of internal floors.
That's why absorbent entrance mats like the MicroLuxx® are designed to focus on moisture management. By helping to stop water at the entrance, they make a noticeable difference to cleanliness, maintenance and the overall experience for everyone who walks through your doors.
Why Choose the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat?
(Click to open/close)
Not all absorbent entrance mats are built to the same standard. While many mats are designed to capture some dirt and moisture, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been engineered for demanding commercial environments where performance, durability and appearance all matter.
By combining advanced absorbent fibres with a heavy-duty nitrile rubber backing, it helps keep entrances cleaner, drier and safer while maintaining its professional appearance under everyday use.
Whether you're protecting the entrance to an office, school, healthcare facility, retail store or public building, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed to deliver reliable performance day after day.
Outstanding Moisture Absorption
The MicroLuxx® surface has been developed to absorb and retain significant amounts of moisture from footwear, helping to prevent water from being tracked further into your building.
By capturing moisture where it enters, the mat helps reduce wet floors and supports a cleaner entrance throughout the day.
Built for Busy Commercial Entrances
Heavy foot traffic places constant demands on entrance matting.
The dense pile construction is designed to maintain its performance and appearance under everyday commercial use, making it suitable for entrances that experience frequent pedestrian traffic.
Premium Nitrile Rubber Backing
Beneath the absorbent surface is a high-quality nitrile rubber backing that provides excellent durability, flexibility and slip resistance.
Unlike lower-quality vinyl backings that can become brittle over time, nitrile rubber is widely recognised for its long-lasting performance in commercial entrance matting.
A More Sustainable Choice
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is manufactured using regenerated ECONYL® nylon, helping to reduce the use of virgin raw materials without compromising performance.
Combined with recycled content in the nitrile rubber backing, it's a practical choice for organisations looking to make more environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.
Easy to Maintain
A commercial entrance mat should continue performing with minimal disruption.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed for straightforward maintenance through regular vacuuming and can also be commercially laundered or cleaned using a carpet extraction machine when required, helping to extend its service life.
Available in Standard and Custom Sizes
Every entrance is different.
That's why the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is available in a range of standard sizes as well as custom-made options, allowing you to choose a mat that fits your entrance and helps maximise moisture control.
From the Mats4U Team
We've supplied entrance matting to businesses across a wide range of industries, and one thing we've learned is that moisture control is often overlooked until it becomes a problem.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat stands out because it combines excellent absorbency with the durability needed for everyday commercial use. Rather than simply drying shoes, it's designed to help protect your flooring, reduce cleaning requirements and keep your entrance looking professional throughout the day.
Advanced Moisture Absorption Technology
(Click to open/close)
The performance of an absorbent entrance mat depends on more than just the materials it's made from. It's the way those materials work together that determines how effectively the mat captures and retains moisture.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been engineered with a dense, high-performance pile that combines regenerated ECONYL® nylon microfibre with recycled nylon fibres. This carefully designed construction helps remove moisture from footwear quickly while continuing to perform under the demands of busy commercial environments.
Rather than allowing water to remain on the surface, the fibres are designed to draw moisture into the pile, helping to keep the walking surface drier for the next person entering the building.
More Surface Area, Better Moisture Capture
One of the reasons the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat performs so effectively is the inclusion of fine microfibre within the pile.
These finer fibres create a greater surface area throughout the mat, providing more contact with footwear and more places for moisture to be retained. Combined with the surrounding nylon fibres, this creates an absorbent surface that helps manage water more efficiently than many traditional entrance mats.
Designed to Perform Day After Day
Busy entrances experience constant foot traffic, particularly during wet weather.
The dense pile construction is designed to resist flattening under normal commercial use, helping the mat maintain its absorbent properties and professional appearance over time. Regular maintenance also helps restore the pile and maximise long-term performance.
Moisture Control That Supports Safer Entrances
An effective absorbent mat doesn't just help keep floors cleaner—it also plays an important role in managing the amount of water carried into a building.
By helping to retain moisture within the mat, the MicroLuxx® reduces the amount of water transferred onto surrounding floor surfaces, supporting cleaner, drier entrances throughout the day.
Good to Know
For the best overall entrance performance, absorbent mats are often used as the second stage of an entrance matting system.
An external scraper mat removes heavier dirt and grit before people enter the building, while an absorbent mat like the MicroLuxx® captures the remaining moisture from footwear. Together, they create a more effective barrier against dirt and water being carried indoors.
From the Mats4U Team
Many absorbent mats look similar at first glance, but the difference is often in the fibre construction.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been developed to do more than simply provide a soft surface underfoot. Its specialised fibre blend and dense pile are designed to capture and retain moisture efficiently, helping to reduce the amount of water tracked further into your building. Combined with regular maintenance and the right entrance matting system, it offers a practical, long-lasting solution for keeping busy entrances clean, dry and welcoming.
Made with Regenerated ECONYL® Nylon
(Click to open/close)
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is manufactured using regenerated ECONYL® nylon, an innovative material that combines outstanding commercial performance with a more sustainable approach to manufacturing.
ECONYL® is produced by recovering nylon waste, including discarded fishing nets, fabric offcuts and other industrial materials, before regenerating it into high-quality nylon fibre. The result is a premium material that delivers the same durability and performance as virgin nylon while helping to reduce waste and conserve valuable resources.
For businesses looking to make more environmentally responsible purchasing decisions, it's a practical way to improve entrance safety and cleanliness without compromising on quality.
Built to Perform in Commercial Environments
Choosing a more sustainable material shouldn't mean accepting lower performance.
ECONYL® fibres are engineered to withstand the demands of busy commercial entrances, offering excellent durability, colour retention and resistance to everyday wear. This helps the MicroLuxx® maintain its appearance and absorbent performance, even in areas with frequent foot traffic.
Supporting More Sustainable Choices
The environmental benefits don't stop with the surface fibres.
The heavy-duty nitrile rubber backing also contains recycled material, reducing the use of virgin raw materials while maintaining the strength, flexibility and durability expected from a commercial entrance mat.
Together, these materials create an entrance mat that's designed to perform reliably while supporting organisations that are working towards more sustainable procurement goals.
Quality That Lasts
One of the most sustainable choices you can make is investing in products that are built to last.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed for long-term commercial use and can be cleaned and maintained to help extend its service life. A durable entrance mat that continues to perform over many years reduces the need for frequent replacement, helping to minimise waste as well as ongoing costs.
From the Mats4U Team
Sustainability should never come at the expense of performance.
That's one of the reasons we like the MicroLuxx® range. It combines high-quality regenerated materials with the durability needed for demanding commercial environments, giving businesses a product that performs exceptionally well while supporting more responsible use of resources.
Whether sustainability is a key purchasing requirement or simply an added benefit, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat delivers both environmental consideration and dependable everyday performance.
Designed for Heavy Commercial Use
(Click to open/close)
An entrance mat is one of the hardest-working products in any building. Day after day it has to cope with constant foot traffic, wet footwear, dirt and repeated cleaning while continuing to look professional and perform effectively.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been designed with these demanding environments in mind. Every component, from the absorbent pile to the nitrile rubber backing, has been selected to provide dependable performance in busy commercial entrances.
Whether it's installed in an office reception, school, healthcare facility, retail store or public building, it's built to withstand everyday use while helping to keep entrances cleaner, drier and safer.
Durable Pile Construction
The dense, high-quality pile is designed to withstand frequent pedestrian traffic while maintaining its absorbent properties and smart appearance.
With regular maintenance, the fibres continue to perform effectively, helping the mat provide reliable moisture control throughout its service life.
Heavy-Duty Nitrile Rubber Backing
A quality entrance mat needs a backing that's just as durable as its surface.
The MicroLuxx® features a premium nitrile rubber backing that offers excellent flexibility, strength and slip resistance. Nitrile rubber is widely used in commercial entrance matting because it performs well under demanding conditions and resists cracking and deterioration far better than many lower-quality alternatives.
Reinforced Edges for Everyday Durability
The reinforced rubber borders help the mat maintain its shape while providing a neat, professional finish.
They're designed to cope with the demands of busy entrances and frequent cleaning, helping the mat continue looking its best over time.
Designed for Long-Term Performance
Commercial entrance matting is an investment, and choosing a durable product helps maximise its value.
By combining high-quality materials with robust construction, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed to provide dependable performance for years of everyday use when properly maintained.
Good to Know
A durable entrance mat isn't just about the surface fibres—it's the combination of the pile, backing and overall construction that determines how well it performs over time.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed so that each component works together to provide long-lasting moisture control and durability. Regular vacuuming and periodic deep cleaning will help maintain its appearance and ensure it continues to perform effectively in busy commercial environments.
From the Mats4U Team
When choosing an entrance mat, it's easy to focus on how it looks on day one. We believe it's just as important to consider how it will perform after months or even years of daily use.
That's why we like the MicroLuxx® range. It isn't just designed to absorb moisture effectively—it has the build quality needed to cope with busy commercial environments where reliability matters. For businesses investing in entrance matting, long-term performance is every bit as important as first impressions.
Choosing the Right Size & Backing
(Click to open/close)
Choosing the right entrance mat is about more than simply selecting a size. To achieve the best moisture control and long-term performance, it's important to choose a mat that suits both your entrance and your flooring.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is available in a range of standard sizes, as well as custom-made options, making it easy to find a solution that fits almost any entrance.
Choosing the Right Size
A larger entrance mat gives footwear more opportunities to make contact with the absorbent fibres, helping to remove more moisture before people walk further into your building.
Where space allows, choosing the largest practical mat will generally provide the best performance, particularly in busy commercial entrances.
If you're replacing an existing mat, measuring your current mat or entrance area is a good starting point. If you're fitting the mat into a recessed mat well, be sure to measure the internal dimensions carefully to ensure a suitable fit.
Standard or Custom-Made?
Many entrances are perfectly suited to one of our standard sizes, offering a quick and convenient solution.
However, if your entrance has unusual dimensions or you're fitting the mat into a recessed mat well, a custom-made MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat can provide a neater appearance and maximise the amount of moisture captured.
Choosing the Right Backing
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is available with two backing options, allowing you to choose the version that's best suited to your flooring.
Flat Back
The flat back is designed for hard floor surfaces such as vinyl, luxury vinyl tile (LVT), laminate, wood, stone, polished concrete and ceramic tiles.
Gripper Back
The gripper back features small rubber cleats that help the mat remain securely positioned on carpeted floors. This version is intended for use on carpets and should not be used on hard floor surfaces.
Selecting the correct backing helps the mat perform as intended while providing the best possible stability during everyday use.
Need Help Choosing?
If you're unsure which size or backing is right for your entrance, we're always happy to help.
Our team can advise on suitable dimensions, backing options and the best way to achieve effective moisture control based on your flooring and the level of foot traffic your entrance receives.
Good to Know
An absorbent mat performs best when it's positioned where people naturally walk after entering the building.
Where possible, place the mat so that visitors take several steps across it before reaching your internal flooring. The more contact footwear has with the absorbent fibres, the more moisture and dirt can be removed before it's carried further inside.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common questions we receive is, "What size entrance mat do I need?"
Our answer is usually simple: choose the largest size that comfortably fits your entrance. A larger mat provides more walking surface, giving the absorbent fibres more opportunity to remove moisture from footwear.
If your entrance has an unusual shape or a recessed mat well, a custom-made MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is often the best solution. Not only does it create a cleaner, more professional appearance, but it also helps you get the maximum performance from your entrance matting investment.
Where the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat Performs Best
(Click to open/close)
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed for indoor environments where effective moisture control, cleanliness and presentation are essential. Its absorbent surface helps manage water brought in on footwear while the durable construction is built to cope with the demands of everyday commercial use.
From busy office receptions to healthcare facilities, the MicroLuxx® helps create cleaner, drier and more welcoming entrances.
Office Buildings and Corporate Reception Areas
First impressions matter in any workplace.
Placed at entrances, reception areas and lift lobbies, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat helps reduce the amount of moisture and dirt carried through the building while maintaining a professional appearance for employees and visitors alike.
Schools, Colleges and Universities
Educational buildings experience constant foot traffic throughout the day, particularly during wet weather.
The MicroLuxx® helps capture moisture from footwear before it reaches corridors and classrooms, helping to keep entrances cleaner while reducing the amount of water carried throughout the building.
Healthcare Facilities
Hospitals, medical centres, clinics and care homes all benefit from clean, well-maintained entrances.
The absorbent pile helps manage moisture brought in from outside, supporting cleaner internal walkways and creating a welcoming environment for patients, visitors and staff.
Retail Stores and Shopping Centres
Retail entrances need to remain clean and inviting throughout the trading day.
The MicroLuxx® helps reduce the amount of water and dirt carried into the store, helping to protect internal flooring while creating a more pleasant shopping environment for customers.
Hotels and Hospitality Venues
Hotels, restaurants and other hospitality businesses rely on clean, welcoming entrances to make a positive first impression.
By helping to manage moisture during wet weather, the MicroLuxx® contributes to a smart, well-presented entrance that reflects the high standards expected by guests.
Public Buildings and Leisure Facilities
Public buildings often experience heavy foot traffic throughout the day, making effective entrance matting an important part of building maintenance.
Whether installed in libraries, museums, sports centres or community buildings, the MicroLuxx® helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture entering the premises while maintaining a professional appearance.
Good to Know
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is intended for indoor use and performs best when positioned immediately inside an entrance.
For the highest level of protection, consider using it as part of a complete entrance matting system. An outdoor scraper mat can remove heavier dirt and grit before visitors enter the building, while the MicroLuxx® focuses on absorbing the remaining moisture indoors.
From the Mats4U Team
One question we're often asked is whether an absorbent mat is only suitable for large commercial buildings.
The answer is no. While the MicroLuxx® is built to meet the demands of busy commercial environments, it's equally effective anywhere that moisture control is important. From a small office reception or home to a large public entrance, the principle is the same—capturing water at the door before it's carried further inside.
That's why we recommend choosing the MicroLuxx® whenever your priority is keeping indoor floors cleaner, drier and safer, especially during periods of wet weather. It provides dependable moisture control while maintaining the professional appearance expected in modern commercial spaces.
Cleaning & Care
(Click to open/close)
Regular cleaning is essential to keep your MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat performing at its best. As the mat captures dirt and moisture from footwear, routine maintenance helps restore the fibres, maintain absorbency and keep your entrance looking clean and professional.
The exact cleaning frequency will depend on the amount of foot traffic and the conditions outside. Entrances exposed to frequent rain or heavy daily use will naturally require more regular maintenance than quieter areas.
Daily Maintenance
For most commercial environments, regular vacuuming is the simplest and most effective way to remove loose dirt and debris from the mat's surface.
In busy entrances, daily vacuuming is recommended. Areas with lighter foot traffic may only require vacuuming a few times each week.
Removing surface dirt before it becomes embedded helps the absorbent fibres continue working efficiently.
Deep Cleaning
Over time, absorbent entrance mats benefit from a more thorough clean to remove trapped dirt and restore their appearance.
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat can be cleaned using a carpet extraction machine or professionally laundered following the manufacturer's recommended washing instructions.
After cleaning, always allow the mat to dry completely before placing it back into service. If the mat has been commercially laundered, allow it to cool before rolling or storing.
Commercial Laundering
For organisations using commercial laundry services, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat has been designed to withstand professional laundering when cleaned in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
For heavily soiled mats, wash temperatures may be increased in line with the manufacturer's guidance. Low pH, non-ionic detergents are recommended, and excessive drying temperatures should be avoided to help maximise the life of the mat.
The complete commercial laundering procedure can be found in the product specifications above.
Looking After Your Investment
A well-maintained entrance mat doesn't just look better—it performs better too.
Regular cleaning helps maintain the mat's ability to capture moisture and dirt while extending its service life. Establishing a simple maintenance routine can help ensure consistent performance throughout the year, particularly during periods of wet weather when entrance matting is working its hardest.
Good to Know
A mat that looks clean isn't always clean.
Over time, fine dirt and moisture can become trapped deep within the pile, reducing the mat's ability to absorb water effectively. Regular vacuuming combined with periodic deep cleaning helps restore the fibres and maintain optimum performance.
If your entrance experiences particularly heavy foot traffic, rotating multiple mats can also help ensure one mat is always available while another is being cleaned.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest factors affecting the lifespan of any entrance mat isn't the amount of foot traffic—it’s how well it's maintained.
We've found that businesses with a regular cleaning routine often get significantly better long-term performance from their entrance matting. A few minutes of routine maintenance can help preserve the mat's appearance, maintain its absorbent properties and keep your entrance looking welcoming day after day.
A quality entrance mat is an investment, and with the right care, the MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed to deliver reliable moisture control for many years.

Does the mat help reduce slipping?
The MicroLuxx® Absorbent Mat is designed to capture moisture from footwear, helping to reduce the amount of water carried onto surrounding floor surfaces.
Keeping entrances cleaner and drier can contribute to a safer environment, although no entrance mat can eliminate the risk of slips entirely.
How often should an absorbent entrance mat be replaced?
There's no fixed replacement schedule, as it depends on factors such as foot traffic, cleaning frequency and the environment in which the mat is used.
With proper care and regular maintenance, a high-quality commercial absorbent mat can provide reliable performance for many years. If you notice a significant reduction in absorbency or visible signs of wear, it may be time to consider a replacement.

Great service, great product
I have a large mat by the front door - very absorbent and avoids little (and large) footprints over my tiles. Also have a large one in the kitchen … absorbs water from dripping hands etc while preparing food etc. The flat back for tiled tiled floors stays in place - does not slip & slide even when hoovering. My choice of colour was storm granite. Have several small sizes for other doors. I am very pleased with them and can definitely recommend. 👌
The mat is for our kitchen. Love it! Encourages our dog to wipe his feet!
The second mat received. Love them.
Perfect mat, excellent service
Excellent quality and very happy with our purchase.
Excellent product
Quality product.
I use this mat outside so it catches dog paw /grass cuttings mud before entering the house. It works a treat . It’s very durable and tough. durable. But when it gets rained on it gets heavy to shift and does not dry out easily as its needs hanging up to dry . it’s best to use it for areas outside you don’t want to be slippery …. Such as on teak decking that gets dangerous in the wet winters … my dogs use it as a lying down mat if placed outside. Extremely useful mat to use outside in any areas that need a good surface to walk on.
Brilliant
Really good quality mats, when I need another wouldn’t go anywhere else
I bought this mat in October 2023. Have been very pleased with it. It gets a lot use, it’s in the porch, but it shows no sign of wear and still looks really good.
Excellent quality and service
n/a
an excellent product - does what it says in the write-up.
Beautiful mat that fits well.
Great quality custom sized mat probably our 5th in the house and garage. The company and very helpful and friendly, deliver what they promise and we would buy from nowhere else. If you want quality for an acceptable price and good customer service that we all expect and have to cherish these days - then go here. buy cheap get cheap. qwe are still using a garage mat thats had tons of abuse that we bought 6 years ago. Its scrubs up as new every summer.
Works really well, great colour match for our slate floor. Really pleased to be able to get exact size and not be limited to standard sizes. Only (very minor) criticism is the underside could be 'stickier' to stop the mat moving.
Easy website to order from and we're pleased with the product but the despatch information was sparse and no tracking info so we had no idea of a delivery day. I did email your customer service and they told me a date but it came on a different day. Nevertheless we're happy with our mat. Thanks
Excellent product
A little bit pricey, but the quality is outstanding and worth it.
A little bit pricey, but the quality is outstanding and worth it.
Have bought a number of these mats over the years - They are non slip, they look good, are very absorbent and are easy to clean. My recent mats are a large mat for the entrance of our barn conversion and another very large for the kitchen .
Bought the extra absorbant as our light coloured showed up wet footprints!! Worth the extra to get it.
Excellent products
Great product made to measure great
Happy with the product - very nicely made and works well.
Does the job and looks good
Very good mat just what I needed for my cats feet.
The mat is great, but it moves on the carpet. It’s brand new carpet and it needs readjusting everyday. The mat itself is excellent
Excellent product and service
Extremely absorbent and durable. We use them to catch spills from our milk vending machine.
Very pleased with our Microluxx absorbent mat. It looks really smart at the foot of the french doors and feels lovely too. In fact we were so happy with it that we have ordered another one to place by our front porch door. It was delivered a day earlier than was expected and with no issues. Nothing negative to say about it.
This mat was more expensive that I would normally pay but when it arrived it was immediately obvious it was of a really good quality. Comes up really well after a hoover and does not move around the tiled floor at all.
............
I'm very happy with the product and service and would be happy to recommend this company.
Good product, but a bit expensive, lots of choices, and sizes, quick response and delivery.
