Heavy Duty Entrance Mat Sizes

At First Mats, we understand that commercial entrance matting needs to be large enough for wide entrances, busy receptions and hotel lobbies. That's why we offer heavy duty entrance mats in large sizes, and a selection of custom sizes.

The most popular standard sizes for a commercial doormat are 90cm x 150cm (3ft x 5ft) and 115cm x 180cm (4ft x 6ft). While these will cover the width of most doorways, a custom size mat such as our Heavy-Duty Premier Plush mat will allow you to fill more of your entrance hall. Even though these commercial floor mats are made to order, we offer a quick turnaround of five working days.

What Makes a Heavy Duty Door Mat?

Although commercial floor mats and domestic door mats are designed for the same job, there are some big differences in how they are made.

Rubber Backings: Unlike many cheap doormats, our heavy-duty door mats are made with hard-wearing nitrile rubber, which is flexible, durable, and grips well on smooth floor surfaces to reduce the likelihood of slips.

Durable Mat Pile: Busy entrances such as schools and airports will experience high levels of foot traffic, so the mat is made from synthetic fibres that can handle heavy footfall.

Custom Branded Options: For the ultimate first impression on visitors, why not consider ordering a custom-made logo mat with your own branding and colours? Visit our Logo Mats page and complete the enquiry form to get a free quote.

All commercial matting in our range is tried and tested by our entrance mat experts and backed up by a quality guarantee.

Most Absorbent Heavy Duty Door Mats

One of the challenges that commercial premises must face is the weather. Come rain or shine, customers and other visitors will still expect to enter a building with a clean and dry floor, but in heavy rain or snow, the default fair weather entrance mats may need help to cope.

For businesses open all year round, especially shops and retail centres, it may be worth considering stocking some mats that will only be used in these challenging conditions. Using absorbent heavy duty entrance mats will help to keep water away from the floors and reduce the risk of slip accidents.

In these areas, our AquaProtect Super Absorbent Doormat ticks all the boxes, gaining positive feedback from our business clients. Available in a wide range of colours and sizes, it can absorb 6 litres of water per square metre, removing excess water from hundreds of visitors

Heavy Duty Door Mats for Outside

One of the best ways to keep your internal floors clean is to keep the dirt outside using outdoor entrance mats. Unlike indoor door mats, made from absorbent carpet piles, the outdoor mats are made from water-repellant materials such as rubber and allow rainwater to drain away through holes in the mat's backing.

See the EntraGuard Outdoor Rubber Scraper Mats, which feature a pattern of holes that scrape mud and stones and even show away from shoes. It is popular with schools and commercial entrances.

Our BrushScrape mat is a unique outdoor door mat that looks like a carpeted indoor mat, but with coarse synthetic fibres that scrape dirt from shoes without absorbing water.

Mat Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning your commercial entrance mat will prolong its lifespan, giving you even greater value for money. Some entrance mats, such as the popular Renown Mat, can be cleaned in a commercial or domestic washing machine (depending on the size of the mat.) In most cases, though, simply vacuuming over the top of the mat, when dry, will remove most of the dirt and stones captured from visitors' feet.

Around 80% of dirt in a building is carried in on people's shoes, so regularly cleaning your mat can save you from having to clean the surrounding floors as often, reducing maintenance costs.

Note: Most door mats are designed for smooth floors such as tiles or wood. For carpeted floors, see our range of Door Mats for Carpet Floors.
