About This Mat
A clean entrance starts with the right mat.
Every person who walks through your door brings dirt, moisture and debris in on their shoes. Without an effective entrance mat, that dirt is carried further into your building or home, increasing cleaning, creating slip hazards and contributing to unnecessary wear on your flooring.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been designed to help stop that from happening.
Built for heavy daily foot traffic, it combines a durable 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon surface with a premium 100% nitrile rubber backing to effectively scrape dirt, absorb moisture and help keep entrances cleaner, safer and more welcoming. Whether you're protecting the entrance to a busy office, school, hotel or retail premises, or simply want a premium entrance mat for your home, the Tri Grip is designed to deliver reliable performance day after day.
One of the reasons the Tri Grip has become one of our most popular heavy-duty entrance mats is its balance of durability and practicality. The twisted, heat-set nylon fibres are designed to recover after repeated foot traffic, while the nitrile rubber backing resists cracking, curling, oils and many common cleaning chemicals, helping the mat maintain both its appearance and performance over time.
The low-profile design also makes it an excellent choice for entrances used by wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs and trolleys, allowing wheels to move smoothly across the surface while helping to keep dirt and moisture at the door.
To suit different floor types, the Tri Grip is available with either a Flat Back for hard floors or a Gripper Back for carpeted floors. It can be manufactured in a wide range of standard and custom sizes up to 200cm × 550cm. Widths above 150cm are available in Dark Grey, while Green Black is available up to 115cm wide.
Unlike many products that are manufactured in large batches and stored until they're needed, every Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured specifically for your order. Rather than being taken from warehouse stock, your mat is produced from the ground up before being carefully finished and prepared for dispatch.
Why Choose the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat? (Click to open/close)
Choosing an entrance mat isn't simply about finding one that fits your doorway. The right mat should be designed for the amount of foot traffic it will receive, the type of flooring it's being used on and the environment it's protecting.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been developed for entrances where performance matters. From busy commercial buildings and public spaces to well-used family homes, it's designed to help reduce the amount of dirt and moisture carried indoors while maintaining a smart appearance, even in demanding environments.
What sets the Tri Grip apart is the combination of premium materials and thoughtful construction. The 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon surface is designed to scrape dirt and absorb moisture effectively, while the 100% nitrile rubber backing provides the durability needed for heavy daily use. Together, they create an entrance mat that's built to perform consistently, not just when it's new, but for years to come.
Perhaps most importantly, every Tri Grip mat is manufactured specifically for your order. It isn't taken from warehouse stock or left sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Instead, each mat is produced from the ground up before being cut, finished and prepared for dispatch, ensuring you receive a newly manufactured product that's made to your exact requirements.
Whether you're looking to create a better first impression for visitors, reduce cleaning throughout your building or simply invest in a premium entrance mat that's designed to last, the Tri Grip offers a combination of performance, durability and quality that's made it one of our most popular entrance mats.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common mistakes we see is customers choosing an entrance mat based on price alone. While a cheaper mat may look similar at first glance, the quality of the fibres, backing and overall construction all play a significant role in how well it performs over time. A well-made entrance mat doesn't just look better for longer—it continues to remove dirt and moisture effectively, helping protect your floors every day.

Key Benefits (Click to open/close)
Every part of the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been designed with one goal in mind – helping to keep your entrance cleaner, safer and looking its best. Here's how those features translate into everyday benefits.
Excellent Dirt & Moisture Control
The dense, twisted nylon fibres are designed to scrape dirt and absorb moisture from footwear before it's carried further into your building or home. This helps reduce the amount of cleaning required while protecting internal flooring from everyday wear.
Whether it's muddy boots on a rainy day or dust and debris from busy foot traffic, the Tri Grip works continuously to help keep entrances cleaner.
Built for Heavy Daily Foot Traffic
The Tri Grip is designed for entrances that experience frequent use throughout the day. Its resilient construction helps it cope with busy environments such as offices, schools, retail premises and public buildings, while also making it an excellent long-term investment for busy households.
The result is an entrance mat that's designed to maintain both its appearance and performance, even when it's used every day.
Helps Protect Your Floors
Stopping dirt and moisture at the entrance helps reduce the amount that's carried onto your internal flooring.
Over time, this can help minimise unnecessary wear, reduce cleaning and protect floor finishes throughout your property.
Designed with Safety in Mind
Wet entrances can quickly become slippery.
By helping remove moisture from footwear before people enter your building, the Tri Grip contributes to a cleaner, drier walking surface. It also features a low-profile design that's suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, trolleys and pushchairs, making it a practical choice for a wide range of entrances.
For additional confidence, the Tri Grip has also been independently certified as slip resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI).
Built to Deliver Long-Term Performance
Choosing a premium entrance mat isn't just about how it looks when it's first installed—it's about how well it continues to perform over time.
The combination of high-quality materials and durable construction is designed to withstand heavy daily use while maintaining effective dirt and moisture control, helping you get the most from your investment.
Made Specifically for Your Order
Unlike products that are manufactured in large batches and stored until they're sold, every Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured specifically for your order.
From the freshly produced nitrile rubber backing to the finished surface, your mat is made from scratch before being cut, finished and prepared for dispatch. It's one of the many reasons the Tri Grip has become one of our flagship entrance mats.
From the Mats4U Team
One question we're often asked is whether it's worth investing in a premium entrance mat.
From our experience, the biggest difference isn't how a mat looks on the day it arrives—it's how well it continues to perform months and years later. A quality entrance mat should continue removing dirt and moisture effectively, lie flat during everyday use and withstand the demands of regular foot traffic.
That's why we always recommend choosing an entrance mat that's suited to the environment it's going to protect, rather than simply choosing the lowest-priced option.
Construction & Performance (Click to open/close)
A high-quality entrance mat is about much more than its appearance. Every component plays an important role in how well it removes dirt and moisture, how it performs under heavy foot traffic and how well it continues to perform over time.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been engineered using premium materials that work together to create a durable, high-performing entrance mat suitable for demanding environments.
At the surface, the dense 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon fibres are twisted and heat-set to create a resilient pile that's designed to scrape dirt from footwear while absorbing moisture. Unlike softer fibres that can flatten more quickly under heavy use, this construction helps the pile recover after repeated foot traffic, allowing the mat to continue performing day after day.
Beneath the surface, a durable 100% nitrile rubber backing provides strength, flexibility and long-term stability. Nitrile rubber is widely recognised for its resistance to cracking, curling, oils and many common cleaning chemicals, making it an ideal choice for busy entrances where reliability is essential.
The backing is compression-moulded with reinforced borders on all four sides. This helps the mat maintain its shape during everyday use while protecting the edges from premature wear. Together with the durable pile construction, it creates an entrance mat that's designed to provide consistent performance in both commercial environments and busy homes.
Every element of the Tri Grip has been selected with long-term performance in mind. Rather than relying on a single feature, it's the combination of premium fibres, durable backing and quality manufacturing that allows the mat to continue helping keep entrances cleaner, safer and more welcoming.
Good to Know
Not all textile entrance mats are constructed in the same way.
Two mats may look similar at first glance, but the type of fibre, the quality of the backing and the overall construction can have a significant impact on how well they perform over time. That's why it's always worth looking beyond appearance and understanding what's beneath the surface.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest misconceptions we come across is that all textile entrance mats are essentially the same.
In reality, the materials and construction make a huge difference. We've seen lower-quality mats flatten, curl or lose their effectiveness far sooner than premium alternatives. While they may cost less initially, they often need replacing much sooner.
When choosing an entrance mat, it's worth considering not just how it looks today, but how it's likely to perform after thousands of people have walked across it.
Why ECONYL® Makes a Difference (Click to open/close)
One of the defining features of the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is its 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon surface. While it may look like any other premium textile entrance mat, the fibres themselves have been chosen for a reason.
ECONYL® is a high-performance regenerated nylon that's made using recovered materials such as discarded fishing nets, fabric offcuts and other nylon waste. Through a specialised regeneration process, these materials are transformed back into premium nylon without compromising on quality or durability.
For an entrance mat, the choice of fibre matters.
The twisted, heat-set ECONYL® fibres used in the Tri Grip are designed to scrape dirt from footwear while absorbing moisture before it's carried further into your building. They're also engineered to recover after repeated foot traffic, helping the mat maintain its appearance and continue performing effectively in busy entrances.
Choosing ECONYL® also means choosing a material that's designed to last. A resilient fibre helps an entrance mat continue doing its job for longer, which is exactly what you want in areas that experience heavy daily use.
For customers who are also looking to make more environmentally conscious purchasing decisions, ECONYL® offers an additional benefit. Because it's manufactured using regenerated nylon rather than newly produced raw materials, it helps give existing materials a second life while maintaining the same high standards of performance expected from a premium entrance mat.
Good to Know
Although ECONYL® is made from regenerated materials, it isn't a lower-grade alternative to traditional nylon.
The regeneration process restores the nylon back to its original quality, allowing it to deliver the same strength, durability and performance while helping reduce the need for new raw materials.
From the Mats4U Team
Customers sometimes assume that choosing a more sustainable product means compromising on quality.
Our experience has been the opposite.
We wouldn't recommend a material simply because it's environmentally friendly—it also has to perform. ECONYL® gives us both. It provides the durability and resilience we'd expect from a premium entrance mat while also supporting a more sustainable manufacturing process.
That's why it's used in the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat.
Why Nitrile Rubber Instead of PVC? (Click to open/close)
The backing of an entrance mat is just as important as the surface you walk on. While it's largely hidden from view, it plays a vital role in how well the mat performs, how long it lasts and how it stands up to everyday use.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured with a 100% nitrile rubber backing, a material widely recognised for its durability and long-term performance in demanding environments.
Compared with lower-cost backing materials used on some entrance mats, nitrile rubber offers several practical advantages. It's designed to remain flexible over time while resisting cracking, curling and splitting, even in busy entrances where the mat is subjected to constant foot traffic and regular cleaning.
Another benefit of nitrile rubber is its excellent resistance to oils and many common cleaning chemicals. This makes it particularly well suited to commercial environments where floors are cleaned frequently or where entrances may occasionally be exposed to oil, grease or other contaminants.
The Tri Grip backing is also phthalate-free and contains 34% post-industrial recycled content within the polymer, helping reduce manufacturing waste while maintaining the high standards of performance expected from a premium entrance mat.
Although the backing is something most people rarely see, it's one of the reasons the Tri Grip continues to perform reliably long after many lower-quality entrance mats begin to show signs of wear.
Good to Know
A quality backing doesn't just support the carpet surface—it supports the entire performance of the mat.
A durable backing helps the mat maintain its shape, withstand everyday use and continue providing reliable dirt and moisture control throughout its lifespan.
From the Mats4U Team
When customers compare entrance mats, they naturally focus on the surface because that's the part they can see.
From our experience, the backing is just as important.
A premium fibre needs a premium foundation. Without it, even the best surface material can't perform as intended over the long term. That's one of the reasons we're always interested in what's underneath the mat—not just what's on top.
Designed to Stay Flat (Click to open/close)
A quality entrance mat should lie neatly on the floor, helping to create a safer, more professional-looking entrance while reducing the risk of raised edges developing over time.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured with a durable 100% nitrile rubber backing that's designed to remain flexible while resisting cracking and curling throughout its life. Combined with the mat's overall construction, this helps the Tri Grip maintain its shape during normal everyday use in a wide variety of environments.
Like all entrance mats, stability can vary depending on the floor surface it's being used on. Highly polished tiles, smooth concrete, freshly treated floors and deep-pile carpets can all affect how much natural grip a mat achieves.
For the best performance, we recommend selecting the correct backing for your floor type. Choose the Flat Back for hard floors or the Gripper Back for carpeted floors, where the gripper cleats help anchor the mat into the carpet pile.
If you're installing the Tri Grip on a particularly smooth floor or simply want additional stability, we recommend pairing it with Teebaud Anti-Slip Underlay. The underlay provides additional grip beneath the mat and can help reduce movement on surfaces where extra friction may be beneficial.
With the correct backing—and additional underlay where appropriate—the Tri Grip is designed to provide reliable performance in a wide range of environments.
Good to Know
Every floor is different.
The amount of grip an entrance mat achieves can vary depending on factors such as the floor finish, cleaning products, moisture, temperature and the level of foot traffic. Choosing the correct backing and, where appropriate, using an anti-slip underlay will help you achieve the best possible performance for your installation.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the questions we're occasionally asked is whether an entrance mat can move on the floor.
The honest answer is that it can, depending on the surface it's installed on. We've supplied thousands of Tri Grip mats over the years, and the vast majority perform exactly as intended. However, because every floor is different, we prefer to give honest advice rather than make promises we can't guarantee.
If you're unsure which backing is best for your floor, or you have a particularly smooth surface, we're always happy to help you choose the most suitable option before you order.
Choosing the Right Backing (Click to open/close)
One of the advantages of the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is that it's available with two different backing options, allowing you to choose the version that's best suited to your flooring.
Selecting the correct backing helps your entrance mat perform as intended and provides the best possible stability for your installation.
Flat Back
The Flat Back version is designed for use on hard flooring, including ceramic tiles, stone, vinyl, laminate, wood and concrete floors.
Its smooth nitrile rubber backing sits neatly against the floor, making it the ideal choice for most commercial entrances, reception areas, offices, schools, healthcare facilities and residential properties with hard flooring.
For particularly smooth or polished surfaces, or where additional grip is preferred, we recommend using Teebaud Anti-Slip Underlay beneath the mat to provide extra stability.
Gripper Back
The Gripper Back version has small rubber cleats moulded into the backing that are designed to grip into the pile of carpeted floors.
Rather than sitting on top of the carpet alone, these cleats help anchor the mat within the carpet fibres, reducing movement during everyday use while helping the mat sit more securely.
The Gripper Back should only be used on carpeted floors and isn't suitable for hard floor surfaces.
Which One Should You Choose? If you're unsure which option is right for your entrance, the flooring type usually makes the decision straightforward.
Choose:
Flat Back for hard floors such as tile, vinyl, wood, laminate, stone or concrete.
Gripper Back for carpeted floors.
If your entrance includes a combination of flooring types, or you're uncertain which backing would be most suitable, our team is always happy to help before you place your order.
Good to Know
Choosing the correct backing doesn't just improve stability—it also helps your entrance mat perform as intended.
A Flat Back allows the mat to sit neatly on hard flooring, while the Gripper Back is specifically designed to work with carpet fibres. Using the correct backing for your floor type will help you get the best performance from your Tri Grip.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common questions we're asked is whether the Gripper Back provides more grip than the Flat Back on hard floors.
It doesn't.
The two backing options are designed for different floor types, not different levels of grip. For hard floors, we always recommend the Flat Back. If additional stability is required on particularly smooth surfaces, adding Teebaud Anti-Slip Underlay is the better solution.
Choosing the Right Size (Click to open/close)
Selecting the right size entrance mat is just as important as choosing the right backing or material. A mat that's too small may not provide enough contact with footwear, while a correctly sized mat gives people more opportunity to remove dirt and moisture before they walk further into your building or home.
As a general guide, the larger the entrance mat, the more dirt and moisture it can help capture. This is why larger mats are often used in busy entrances where people are arriving throughout the day, particularly during wet weather.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is available in a wide range of standard sizes, as well as custom sizes up to 200cm × 550cm, allowing you to choose a mat that suits your entrance rather than having to compromise with the closest available option.
If you're looking for a mat wider than 150cm, Dark Grey is currently the only colour available in those larger widths. Green Black is available in widths up to 115cm, while our other colours are available up to 150cm wide.
For larger reception areas or wider entrances, a custom-sized mat can help create a smarter, more professional appearance by providing better coverage across the entrance.
Good to Know
A wider mat isn't always better—it should be proportionate to your entrance.
Ideally, your entrance mat should cover the main walking route so that everyone entering naturally walks across it rather than around it. Choosing the correct size will help maximise dirt and moisture removal while creating a more balanced appearance.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common sizing mistakes we see is choosing a mat that's only as wide as the door itself.
In reality, people rarely walk through the exact centre of a doorway. They naturally spread out as they enter, especially in wider entrances.
If space allows, choosing a wider or longer mat often provides better coverage, captures more dirt and moisture, and creates a stronger first impression for visitors.
If you're unsure which size would work best, we're always happy to help you choose the most suitable option for your entrance.
Mats4U Tip
If you're investing in a premium entrance mat, it's worth measuring the available space rather than replacing your existing mat with the same size.
Many customers are surprised to find they have room for a slightly larger mat, which can make a noticeable difference to both performance and appearance.
Looking After Your Tri Grip (Click to open/close)
Like any premium entrance mat, the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat performs best when it's cleaned regularly. A simple maintenance routine will help it continue trapping dirt and absorbing moisture while keeping it looking its best.
Fortunately, keeping your Tri Grip clean is straightforward.
Regular Vacuuming
For most installations, regular vacuuming is all that's needed to remove loose dirt and debris from the surface.
As a general guide:
- Busy entrances: Vacuum daily.
- Moderate traffic: Vacuum several times a week.
- Light domestic use: Vacuum weekly or as required.
Removing dirt regularly helps the fibres continue trapping new debris rather than becoming overloaded with surface dirt.
Deep Cleaning
Over time, all entrance mats benefit from a more thorough clean to remove dirt that's become embedded within the pile.
The Tri Grip can be cleaned using a carpet extractor or commercial laundering process, making it suitable for environments where mats are cleaned as part of a regular maintenance programme.
After cleaning, allow the mat to dry completely before placing it back into service.
Commercial Laundering
For organisations that use a commercial laundry service, the Tri Grip is suitable for professional laundering in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
General guidance includes:
- Wash at temperatures up to 49°C under normal conditions.
- For heavily soiled mats, temperatures can be increased to a maximum of 71°C where appropriate.
- Use low pH, non-ionic detergents where possible.
- Ensure rinse water remains between pH 6 and 9.5.
- Dry naturally or machine dry with a maximum basket temperature of 82°C.
- Allow the mat to cool before rolling or returning it to service.
- Avoid over-drying, as excessive heat can shorten the life of the rubber backing.
Good to Know
Entrance mats work by trapping dirt below the walking surface.
Even if your Tri Grip still looks clean, regular vacuuming helps remove the dirt that's been captured within the fibres, allowing the mat to continue performing effectively.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest mistakes people make is waiting until an entrance mat looks dirty before cleaning it.
By that stage, the fibres are often already full of dirt and can't work as effectively.
Regular light cleaning is usually far more effective than occasional heavy cleaning. It helps maintain both the appearance and performance of the mat, especially in busy entrances.
Where the Tri Grip Performs Best (Click to open/close)
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been designed for heavy daily foot traffic, making it a versatile solution for both commercial environments and busy homes. Its combination of effective dirt and moisture control, durable construction and low-profile design allows it to perform well in a wide variety of entrances.
While no two buildings are the same, these are some of the environments where the Tri Grip is particularly well suited.
Offices & Business Premises
A clean, professional entrance creates a positive first impression for staff, visitors and customers alike.
The Tri Grip helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture carried into reception areas, corridors and communal spaces, helping keep floors cleaner while reducing the amount of cleaning required throughout the day.
Schools, Colleges & Universities
Educational buildings experience constant foot traffic, particularly during arrival times, break periods and when the weather is wet.
The Tri Grip is designed to help manage the large volumes of dirt and moisture that can quickly be carried indoors, making it a popular choice for schools, colleges and universities.
Retail Stores & Shopping Centres
Retail entrances need to look welcoming while coping with a steady flow of customers throughout the day.
By helping remove dirt and moisture from footwear, the Tri Grip contributes to a cleaner shopping environment while helping protect internal floor finishes.
Hotels, Leisure & Hospitality
First impressions matter in the hospitality industry.
Whether it's a hotel reception, leisure centre or visitor attraction, the Tri Grip provides effective entrance protection while maintaining a smart, professional appearance that complements customer-facing environments.
Healthcare & Public Buildings
Hospitals, medical centres, care homes and public buildings all rely on clean, safe entrances for staff, visitors and patients.
The Tri Grip's durable construction and moisture control make it well suited to these demanding environments where cleanliness is a daily priority.
Apartment Blocks & Communal Entrances
Shared entrances often experience heavy foot traffic throughout the day.
Installing a premium entrance mat helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture carried into communal hallways, creating a cleaner and more welcoming environment for residents and visitors.
Busy Homes
Although the Tri Grip is designed for demanding environments, it's equally at home in busy households.
Families with children, pets or frequent visitors often appreciate the mat's ability to trap mud, water and everyday debris before it's tracked through the rest of the home.
Its low-profile design also makes it suitable for homes where wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs or shopping trolleys are used regularly.
Good to Know
The Tri Grip isn't just chosen because it's durable—it's chosen because it adapts well to different environments.
From a family home to a busy commercial entrance, the same high-quality materials and construction help deliver reliable dirt and moisture control wherever the mat is installed.
From the Mats4U Team
One thing we've learned over the years is that customers often assume a heavy-duty entrance mat is only suitable for commercial buildings.
In reality, many of our customers choose the Tri Grip for their homes because they want the same level of performance they'd expect from a professional entrance. If your hallway sees muddy boots, wet shoes, pets or lots of visitors, a heavy-duty entrance mat can make a noticeable difference to keeping the rest of your home cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to open/close)
Is the Tri Grip suitable for home use?
Yes.
Although the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is designed for heavy daily foot traffic in commercial environments, it's also an excellent choice for busy homes.
Many homeowners choose the Tri Grip because they want a premium entrance mat that can cope with muddy boots, wet shoes, pets, children and frequent visitors while helping to keep the rest of the house cleaner.
Can I use the Tri Grip with a wheelchair, mobility scooter or pushchair?

We've always believed that good advice is just as important as a good product. That's why we are here to share what we've learned over years of supplying matting to homes, businesses and organisations across the UK.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is the first product in that journey, and we hope this has helped you understand not just what the mat is made from, but why those materials and design choices matter.
If there's something we haven't covered, or if you think there's a question that would help future customers, we'd genuinely like to hear from you. Many of the improvements we make to our product pages come from conversations with the people who use our products every day.
A clean entrance starts with the right mat.
Every person who walks through your door brings dirt, moisture and debris in on their shoes. Without an effective entrance mat, that dirt is carried further into your building or home, increasing cleaning, creating slip hazards and contributing to unnecessary wear on your flooring.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been designed to help stop that from happening.
Built for heavy daily foot traffic, it combines a durable 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon surface with a premium 100% nitrile rubber backing to effectively scrape dirt, absorb moisture and help keep entrances cleaner, safer and more welcoming. Whether you're protecting the entrance to a busy office, school, hotel or retail premises, or simply want a premium entrance mat for your home, the Tri Grip is designed to deliver reliable performance day after day.
One of the reasons the Tri Grip has become one of our most popular heavy-duty entrance mats is its balance of durability and practicality. The twisted, heat-set nylon fibres are designed to recover after repeated foot traffic, while the nitrile rubber backing resists cracking, curling, oils and many common cleaning chemicals, helping the mat maintain both its appearance and performance over time.
The low-profile design also makes it an excellent choice for entrances used by wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs and trolleys, allowing wheels to move smoothly across the surface while helping to keep dirt and moisture at the door.
To suit different floor types, the Tri Grip is available with either a Flat Back for hard floors or a Gripper Back for carpeted floors. It can be manufactured in a wide range of standard and custom sizes up to 200cm × 550cm. Widths above 150cm are available in Dark Grey, while Green Black is available up to 115cm wide.
Unlike many products that are manufactured in large batches and stored until they're needed, every Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured specifically for your order. Rather than being taken from warehouse stock, your mat is produced from the ground up before being carefully finished and prepared for dispatch.
Why Choose the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat? (Click to open/close)
Choosing an entrance mat isn't simply about finding one that fits your doorway. The right mat should be designed for the amount of foot traffic it will receive, the type of flooring it's being used on and the environment it's protecting.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been developed for entrances where performance matters. From busy commercial buildings and public spaces to well-used family homes, it's designed to help reduce the amount of dirt and moisture carried indoors while maintaining a smart appearance, even in demanding environments.
What sets the Tri Grip apart is the combination of premium materials and thoughtful construction. The 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon surface is designed to scrape dirt and absorb moisture effectively, while the 100% nitrile rubber backing provides the durability needed for heavy daily use. Together, they create an entrance mat that's built to perform consistently, not just when it's new, but for years to come.
Perhaps most importantly, every Tri Grip mat is manufactured specifically for your order. It isn't taken from warehouse stock or left sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Instead, each mat is produced from the ground up before being cut, finished and prepared for dispatch, ensuring you receive a newly manufactured product that's made to your exact requirements.
Whether you're looking to create a better first impression for visitors, reduce cleaning throughout your building or simply invest in a premium entrance mat that's designed to last, the Tri Grip offers a combination of performance, durability and quality that's made it one of our most popular entrance mats.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common mistakes we see is customers choosing an entrance mat based on price alone. While a cheaper mat may look similar at first glance, the quality of the fibres, backing and overall construction all play a significant role in how well it performs over time. A well-made entrance mat doesn't just look better for longer—it continues to remove dirt and moisture effectively, helping protect your floors every day.

Key Benefits (Click to open/close)
Every part of the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been designed with one goal in mind – helping to keep your entrance cleaner, safer and looking its best. Here's how those features translate into everyday benefits.
Excellent Dirt & Moisture Control
The dense, twisted nylon fibres are designed to scrape dirt and absorb moisture from footwear before it's carried further into your building or home. This helps reduce the amount of cleaning required while protecting internal flooring from everyday wear.
Whether it's muddy boots on a rainy day or dust and debris from busy foot traffic, the Tri Grip works continuously to help keep entrances cleaner.
Built for Heavy Daily Foot Traffic
The Tri Grip is designed for entrances that experience frequent use throughout the day. Its resilient construction helps it cope with busy environments such as offices, schools, retail premises and public buildings, while also making it an excellent long-term investment for busy households.
The result is an entrance mat that's designed to maintain both its appearance and performance, even when it's used every day.
Helps Protect Your Floors
Stopping dirt and moisture at the entrance helps reduce the amount that's carried onto your internal flooring.
Over time, this can help minimise unnecessary wear, reduce cleaning and protect floor finishes throughout your property.
Designed with Safety in Mind
Wet entrances can quickly become slippery.
By helping remove moisture from footwear before people enter your building, the Tri Grip contributes to a cleaner, drier walking surface. It also features a low-profile design that's suitable for wheelchairs, mobility scooters, trolleys and pushchairs, making it a practical choice for a wide range of entrances.
For additional confidence, the Tri Grip has also been independently certified as slip resistant by the National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI).
Built to Deliver Long-Term Performance
Choosing a premium entrance mat isn't just about how it looks when it's first installed—it's about how well it continues to perform over time.
The combination of high-quality materials and durable construction is designed to withstand heavy daily use while maintaining effective dirt and moisture control, helping you get the most from your investment.
Made Specifically for Your Order
Unlike products that are manufactured in large batches and stored until they're sold, every Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured specifically for your order.
From the freshly produced nitrile rubber backing to the finished surface, your mat is made from scratch before being cut, finished and prepared for dispatch. It's one of the many reasons the Tri Grip has become one of our flagship entrance mats.
From the Mats4U Team
One question we're often asked is whether it's worth investing in a premium entrance mat.
From our experience, the biggest difference isn't how a mat looks on the day it arrives—it's how well it continues to perform months and years later. A quality entrance mat should continue removing dirt and moisture effectively, lie flat during everyday use and withstand the demands of regular foot traffic.
That's why we always recommend choosing an entrance mat that's suited to the environment it's going to protect, rather than simply choosing the lowest-priced option.
Construction & Performance (Click to open/close)
A high-quality entrance mat is about much more than its appearance. Every component plays an important role in how well it removes dirt and moisture, how it performs under heavy foot traffic and how well it continues to perform over time.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been engineered using premium materials that work together to create a durable, high-performing entrance mat suitable for demanding environments.
At the surface, the dense 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon fibres are twisted and heat-set to create a resilient pile that's designed to scrape dirt from footwear while absorbing moisture. Unlike softer fibres that can flatten more quickly under heavy use, this construction helps the pile recover after repeated foot traffic, allowing the mat to continue performing day after day.
Beneath the surface, a durable 100% nitrile rubber backing provides strength, flexibility and long-term stability. Nitrile rubber is widely recognised for its resistance to cracking, curling, oils and many common cleaning chemicals, making it an ideal choice for busy entrances where reliability is essential.
The backing is compression-moulded with reinforced borders on all four sides. This helps the mat maintain its shape during everyday use while protecting the edges from premature wear. Together with the durable pile construction, it creates an entrance mat that's designed to provide consistent performance in both commercial environments and busy homes.
Every element of the Tri Grip has been selected with long-term performance in mind. Rather than relying on a single feature, it's the combination of premium fibres, durable backing and quality manufacturing that allows the mat to continue helping keep entrances cleaner, safer and more welcoming.
Good to Know
Not all textile entrance mats are constructed in the same way.
Two mats may look similar at first glance, but the type of fibre, the quality of the backing and the overall construction can have a significant impact on how well they perform over time. That's why it's always worth looking beyond appearance and understanding what's beneath the surface.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest misconceptions we come across is that all textile entrance mats are essentially the same.
In reality, the materials and construction make a huge difference. We've seen lower-quality mats flatten, curl or lose their effectiveness far sooner than premium alternatives. While they may cost less initially, they often need replacing much sooner.
When choosing an entrance mat, it's worth considering not just how it looks today, but how it's likely to perform after thousands of people have walked across it.
Why ECONYL® Makes a Difference (Click to open/close)
One of the defining features of the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is its 100% ECONYL® regenerated nylon surface. While it may look like any other premium textile entrance mat, the fibres themselves have been chosen for a reason.
ECONYL® is a high-performance regenerated nylon that's made using recovered materials such as discarded fishing nets, fabric offcuts and other nylon waste. Through a specialised regeneration process, these materials are transformed back into premium nylon without compromising on quality or durability.
For an entrance mat, the choice of fibre matters.
The twisted, heat-set ECONYL® fibres used in the Tri Grip are designed to scrape dirt from footwear while absorbing moisture before it's carried further into your building. They're also engineered to recover after repeated foot traffic, helping the mat maintain its appearance and continue performing effectively in busy entrances.
Choosing ECONYL® also means choosing a material that's designed to last. A resilient fibre helps an entrance mat continue doing its job for longer, which is exactly what you want in areas that experience heavy daily use.
For customers who are also looking to make more environmentally conscious purchasing decisions, ECONYL® offers an additional benefit. Because it's manufactured using regenerated nylon rather than newly produced raw materials, it helps give existing materials a second life while maintaining the same high standards of performance expected from a premium entrance mat.
Good to Know
Although ECONYL® is made from regenerated materials, it isn't a lower-grade alternative to traditional nylon.
The regeneration process restores the nylon back to its original quality, allowing it to deliver the same strength, durability and performance while helping reduce the need for new raw materials.
From the Mats4U Team
Customers sometimes assume that choosing a more sustainable product means compromising on quality.
Our experience has been the opposite.
We wouldn't recommend a material simply because it's environmentally friendly—it also has to perform. ECONYL® gives us both. It provides the durability and resilience we'd expect from a premium entrance mat while also supporting a more sustainable manufacturing process.
That's why it's used in the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat.
Why Nitrile Rubber Instead of PVC? (Click to open/close)
The backing of an entrance mat is just as important as the surface you walk on. While it's largely hidden from view, it plays a vital role in how well the mat performs, how long it lasts and how it stands up to everyday use.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured with a 100% nitrile rubber backing, a material widely recognised for its durability and long-term performance in demanding environments.
Compared with lower-cost backing materials used on some entrance mats, nitrile rubber offers several practical advantages. It's designed to remain flexible over time while resisting cracking, curling and splitting, even in busy entrances where the mat is subjected to constant foot traffic and regular cleaning.
Another benefit of nitrile rubber is its excellent resistance to oils and many common cleaning chemicals. This makes it particularly well suited to commercial environments where floors are cleaned frequently or where entrances may occasionally be exposed to oil, grease or other contaminants.
The Tri Grip backing is also phthalate-free and contains 34% post-industrial recycled content within the polymer, helping reduce manufacturing waste while maintaining the high standards of performance expected from a premium entrance mat.
Although the backing is something most people rarely see, it's one of the reasons the Tri Grip continues to perform reliably long after many lower-quality entrance mats begin to show signs of wear.
Good to Know
A quality backing doesn't just support the carpet surface—it supports the entire performance of the mat.
A durable backing helps the mat maintain its shape, withstand everyday use and continue providing reliable dirt and moisture control throughout its lifespan.
From the Mats4U Team
When customers compare entrance mats, they naturally focus on the surface because that's the part they can see.
From our experience, the backing is just as important.
A premium fibre needs a premium foundation. Without it, even the best surface material can't perform as intended over the long term. That's one of the reasons we're always interested in what's underneath the mat—not just what's on top.
Designed to Stay Flat (Click to open/close)
A quality entrance mat should lie neatly on the floor, helping to create a safer, more professional-looking entrance while reducing the risk of raised edges developing over time.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is manufactured with a durable 100% nitrile rubber backing that's designed to remain flexible while resisting cracking and curling throughout its life. Combined with the mat's overall construction, this helps the Tri Grip maintain its shape during normal everyday use in a wide variety of environments.
Like all entrance mats, stability can vary depending on the floor surface it's being used on. Highly polished tiles, smooth concrete, freshly treated floors and deep-pile carpets can all affect how much natural grip a mat achieves.
For the best performance, we recommend selecting the correct backing for your floor type. Choose the Flat Back for hard floors or the Gripper Back for carpeted floors, where the gripper cleats help anchor the mat into the carpet pile.
If you're installing the Tri Grip on a particularly smooth floor or simply want additional stability, we recommend pairing it with Teebaud Anti-Slip Underlay. The underlay provides additional grip beneath the mat and can help reduce movement on surfaces where extra friction may be beneficial.
With the correct backing—and additional underlay where appropriate—the Tri Grip is designed to provide reliable performance in a wide range of environments.
Good to Know
Every floor is different.
The amount of grip an entrance mat achieves can vary depending on factors such as the floor finish, cleaning products, moisture, temperature and the level of foot traffic. Choosing the correct backing and, where appropriate, using an anti-slip underlay will help you achieve the best possible performance for your installation.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the questions we're occasionally asked is whether an entrance mat can move on the floor.
The honest answer is that it can, depending on the surface it's installed on. We've supplied thousands of Tri Grip mats over the years, and the vast majority perform exactly as intended. However, because every floor is different, we prefer to give honest advice rather than make promises we can't guarantee.
If you're unsure which backing is best for your floor, or you have a particularly smooth surface, we're always happy to help you choose the most suitable option before you order.
Choosing the Right Backing (Click to open/close)
One of the advantages of the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is that it's available with two different backing options, allowing you to choose the version that's best suited to your flooring.
Selecting the correct backing helps your entrance mat perform as intended and provides the best possible stability for your installation.
Flat Back
The Flat Back version is designed for use on hard flooring, including ceramic tiles, stone, vinyl, laminate, wood and concrete floors.
Its smooth nitrile rubber backing sits neatly against the floor, making it the ideal choice for most commercial entrances, reception areas, offices, schools, healthcare facilities and residential properties with hard flooring.
For particularly smooth or polished surfaces, or where additional grip is preferred, we recommend using Teebaud Anti-Slip Underlay beneath the mat to provide extra stability.
Gripper Back
The Gripper Back version has small rubber cleats moulded into the backing that are designed to grip into the pile of carpeted floors.
Rather than sitting on top of the carpet alone, these cleats help anchor the mat within the carpet fibres, reducing movement during everyday use while helping the mat sit more securely.
The Gripper Back should only be used on carpeted floors and isn't suitable for hard floor surfaces.
Which One Should You Choose? If you're unsure which option is right for your entrance, the flooring type usually makes the decision straightforward.
Choose:
Flat Back for hard floors such as tile, vinyl, wood, laminate, stone or concrete.
Gripper Back for carpeted floors.
If your entrance includes a combination of flooring types, or you're uncertain which backing would be most suitable, our team is always happy to help before you place your order.
Good to Know
Choosing the correct backing doesn't just improve stability—it also helps your entrance mat perform as intended.
A Flat Back allows the mat to sit neatly on hard flooring, while the Gripper Back is specifically designed to work with carpet fibres. Using the correct backing for your floor type will help you get the best performance from your Tri Grip.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common questions we're asked is whether the Gripper Back provides more grip than the Flat Back on hard floors.
It doesn't.
The two backing options are designed for different floor types, not different levels of grip. For hard floors, we always recommend the Flat Back. If additional stability is required on particularly smooth surfaces, adding Teebaud Anti-Slip Underlay is the better solution.
Choosing the Right Size (Click to open/close)
Selecting the right size entrance mat is just as important as choosing the right backing or material. A mat that's too small may not provide enough contact with footwear, while a correctly sized mat gives people more opportunity to remove dirt and moisture before they walk further into your building or home.
As a general guide, the larger the entrance mat, the more dirt and moisture it can help capture. This is why larger mats are often used in busy entrances where people are arriving throughout the day, particularly during wet weather.
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is available in a wide range of standard sizes, as well as custom sizes up to 200cm × 550cm, allowing you to choose a mat that suits your entrance rather than having to compromise with the closest available option.
If you're looking for a mat wider than 150cm, Dark Grey is currently the only colour available in those larger widths. Green Black is available in widths up to 115cm, while our other colours are available up to 150cm wide.
For larger reception areas or wider entrances, a custom-sized mat can help create a smarter, more professional appearance by providing better coverage across the entrance.
Good to Know
A wider mat isn't always better—it should be proportionate to your entrance.
Ideally, your entrance mat should cover the main walking route so that everyone entering naturally walks across it rather than around it. Choosing the correct size will help maximise dirt and moisture removal while creating a more balanced appearance.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the most common sizing mistakes we see is choosing a mat that's only as wide as the door itself.
In reality, people rarely walk through the exact centre of a doorway. They naturally spread out as they enter, especially in wider entrances.
If space allows, choosing a wider or longer mat often provides better coverage, captures more dirt and moisture, and creates a stronger first impression for visitors.
If you're unsure which size would work best, we're always happy to help you choose the most suitable option for your entrance.
Mats4U Tip
If you're investing in a premium entrance mat, it's worth measuring the available space rather than replacing your existing mat with the same size.
Many customers are surprised to find they have room for a slightly larger mat, which can make a noticeable difference to both performance and appearance.
Looking After Your Tri Grip (Click to open/close)
Like any premium entrance mat, the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat performs best when it's cleaned regularly. A simple maintenance routine will help it continue trapping dirt and absorbing moisture while keeping it looking its best.
Fortunately, keeping your Tri Grip clean is straightforward.
Regular Vacuuming
For most installations, regular vacuuming is all that's needed to remove loose dirt and debris from the surface.
As a general guide:
- Busy entrances: Vacuum daily.
- Moderate traffic: Vacuum several times a week.
- Light domestic use: Vacuum weekly or as required.
Removing dirt regularly helps the fibres continue trapping new debris rather than becoming overloaded with surface dirt.
Deep Cleaning
Over time, all entrance mats benefit from a more thorough clean to remove dirt that's become embedded within the pile.
The Tri Grip can be cleaned using a carpet extractor or commercial laundering process, making it suitable for environments where mats are cleaned as part of a regular maintenance programme.
After cleaning, allow the mat to dry completely before placing it back into service.
Commercial Laundering
For organisations that use a commercial laundry service, the Tri Grip is suitable for professional laundering in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
General guidance includes:
- Wash at temperatures up to 49°C under normal conditions.
- For heavily soiled mats, temperatures can be increased to a maximum of 71°C where appropriate.
- Use low pH, non-ionic detergents where possible.
- Ensure rinse water remains between pH 6 and 9.5.
- Dry naturally or machine dry with a maximum basket temperature of 82°C.
- Allow the mat to cool before rolling or returning it to service.
- Avoid over-drying, as excessive heat can shorten the life of the rubber backing.
Good to Know
Entrance mats work by trapping dirt below the walking surface.
Even if your Tri Grip still looks clean, regular vacuuming helps remove the dirt that's been captured within the fibres, allowing the mat to continue performing effectively.
From the Mats4U Team
One of the biggest mistakes people make is waiting until an entrance mat looks dirty before cleaning it.
By that stage, the fibres are often already full of dirt and can't work as effectively.
Regular light cleaning is usually far more effective than occasional heavy cleaning. It helps maintain both the appearance and performance of the mat, especially in busy entrances.
Where the Tri Grip Performs Best (Click to open/close)
The Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat has been designed for heavy daily foot traffic, making it a versatile solution for both commercial environments and busy homes. Its combination of effective dirt and moisture control, durable construction and low-profile design allows it to perform well in a wide variety of entrances.
While no two buildings are the same, these are some of the environments where the Tri Grip is particularly well suited.
Offices & Business Premises
A clean, professional entrance creates a positive first impression for staff, visitors and customers alike.
The Tri Grip helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture carried into reception areas, corridors and communal spaces, helping keep floors cleaner while reducing the amount of cleaning required throughout the day.
Schools, Colleges & Universities
Educational buildings experience constant foot traffic, particularly during arrival times, break periods and when the weather is wet.
The Tri Grip is designed to help manage the large volumes of dirt and moisture that can quickly be carried indoors, making it a popular choice for schools, colleges and universities.
Retail Stores & Shopping Centres
Retail entrances need to look welcoming while coping with a steady flow of customers throughout the day.
By helping remove dirt and moisture from footwear, the Tri Grip contributes to a cleaner shopping environment while helping protect internal floor finishes.
Hotels, Leisure & Hospitality
First impressions matter in the hospitality industry.
Whether it's a hotel reception, leisure centre or visitor attraction, the Tri Grip provides effective entrance protection while maintaining a smart, professional appearance that complements customer-facing environments.
Healthcare & Public Buildings
Hospitals, medical centres, care homes and public buildings all rely on clean, safe entrances for staff, visitors and patients.
The Tri Grip's durable construction and moisture control make it well suited to these demanding environments where cleanliness is a daily priority.
Apartment Blocks & Communal Entrances
Shared entrances often experience heavy foot traffic throughout the day.
Installing a premium entrance mat helps reduce the amount of dirt and moisture carried into communal hallways, creating a cleaner and more welcoming environment for residents and visitors.
Busy Homes
Although the Tri Grip is designed for demanding environments, it's equally at home in busy households.
Families with children, pets or frequent visitors often appreciate the mat's ability to trap mud, water and everyday debris before it's tracked through the rest of the home.
Its low-profile design also makes it suitable for homes where wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs or shopping trolleys are used regularly.
Good to Know
The Tri Grip isn't just chosen because it's durable—it's chosen because it adapts well to different environments.
From a family home to a busy commercial entrance, the same high-quality materials and construction help deliver reliable dirt and moisture control wherever the mat is installed.
From the Mats4U Team
One thing we've learned over the years is that customers often assume a heavy-duty entrance mat is only suitable for commercial buildings.
In reality, many of our customers choose the Tri Grip for their homes because they want the same level of performance they'd expect from a professional entrance. If your hallway sees muddy boots, wet shoes, pets or lots of visitors, a heavy-duty entrance mat can make a noticeable difference to keeping the rest of your home cleaner.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to open/close)
Is the Tri Grip suitable for home use?
Yes.
Although the Tri Grip Heavy-Duty Entrance Mat is designed for heavy daily foot traffic in commercial environments, it's also an excellent choice for busy homes.
Many homeowners choose the Tri Grip because they want a premium entrance mat that can cope with muddy boots, wet shoes, pets, children and frequent visitors while helping to keep the rest of the house cleaner.
Can I use the Tri Grip with a wheelchair, mobility scooter or pushchair?
Yes.
