Matwell Mats

No, matwell mats are designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure can lead to material deterioration, reducing their lifespan and effectiveness.See our range of outdoor door mats for more suitable options.

You can use MDF to raise the mat level to a perfect fit, or a Self-leveling compound can also raise the height.

Yes, but not all loose-lay mats are suitable. Ensure the mat’s backing, size, and performance align with the requirements of a recessed frame.

No, coir is not designed to handle wheeled traffic. For wheeled areas, consider needle punch or modular tile options.

Matwell mats are a permanent, recessed solution with a flush finish, while loose-lay mats are temporary, portable, and have raised edges.

Yes — recessed entrance mats are designed to fit into an existing matwell.

The mat needs to match the depth of the recess so the surface sits level. A 9mm mat suits a 9mm recess depth.

Choose a recessed entrance mat when you have a matwell or floor recess and want the mat to sit flush with the surrounding floor for a neat, safe finish. If there is no recess, a flat loose-lay entrance mat is usually the right choice. In this range, coir matwell mats are commonly used in entrances with recess depths of 17mm or 23mm.

Yes — matwell mats are designed to fit into a floor recess so they sit flush with the surrounding floor for a neat, safe finish.

To order a recessed entrance mat, you need the width, length and the recess depth or required mat thickness. This helps ensure the mat sits flush with the surrounding floor for a safe, neat finish. Matwell mats are available in different materials and depths, including coir options for 17mm or 23mm mat wells.

The best matting thickness to choose depends on the space you have available. Most mats start at around 7mm thick to 11mm thick, with coir matting available in thicknesses of 17mm or 23mm

Matwell mats are supplied without a rubber border as they'll need to be trimmed to fit into the matwell neatly on site.

A recessed entrance mat may be made slightly larger to allow for a 2-3% tolerance in a rubber mat well and help avoid visible gaps. The mat can then be trimmed on site for an exact fit if needed.

Yes — some matwell mats can be supplied oversized and trimmed to fit on site.

No — these entrance mats do not need a rubber border if they fit into a recessed entrance with an edge all the way around.

Choose the thickness to suit the depth and condition of your recess. For busy areas, thicker mats of 9mm or more generally perform better.

No — we supply recessed entrance mats, but we do not provide measuring or installation services.

Yes — measure the actual recess size before ordering a matwell mat. For a proper fit, take the internal measurements of the matwell itself rather than the surrounding floor area. Adding extra to allow for trimming is highly recommended.

Measure the inside dimensions of the recess itself when ordering a matwell mat. This gives the correct size for a recessed entrance well and helps the mat sit neatly within the opening.

No edge is usually needed when an entrance mat is fitted into a recess, as the recess itself provides the finished edge. If the mat is not recessed, a border or edge helps reduce trip risk.

Our mats are designed to prevent fraying, even without a border. The only option available without a border is our Premier Plush mat, which is made to order and specifically crafted to maintain its integrity.
