How to Choose the Right Rubber Backed Door Mat

How to Choose the Right Rubber Backed Door Mat

When selecting a rubber backed door mat, consider the needs of your space and the level of foot traffic it receives.

For heavy-duty use in busy commercial settings, opt for mats with reinforced rubber backing and high absorbency, such as AquaProtect. 

If you require easy maintenance, machine-washable mats like the Renown are a practical choice. For businesses looking to make an impression, customisable options like Premier-Plush provide tailored solutions with your choice of size, colour, and style. 

Each mat is designed to offer exceptional slip resistance and durability, ensuring long-term performance in high-traffic environments.

Frequently asked questions

The things shoppers ask us most about entrance matting.

What makes rubber backed door mats better than vinyl-backed alternatives?

Rubber backing offers superior slip resistance, flexibility, and durability, making it less prone to cracking or sliding on smooth floors.

Can rubber backed door mats be used outdoors?

While these mats are ideal for indoor use, their fibres are not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to rain. For outdoor areas, choose mats specifically designed for external use, like our Outdoor Rubber Door Mats.

Are rubber backed mats safe for floors with underfloor heating?

Yes, most rubber backed mats are compatible with underfloor heating. However, check the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure suitability.

How do I clean rubber backed door mats?

Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and dust. For a deeper clean, hose down the mat and allow it to air dry.Some mats are machine washable, but check the size and manufacturer’s instructions before washing.

Can I customise a rubber backed mat?

Absolutely!Custom-sized and branded matting options are available to suit specific needs, such as the Premier-Plush and Logo Mats.

Will rubber-backed mats stay in place on laminate flooring?

Yes — rubber-backed mats are a good choice for laminate flooring because the rubber backing gives better grip on smooth floors and helps the mat stay in place. They are generally less likely to slip than vinyl-backed mats, and their extra weight also helps reduce movement in busy entrances.

Can mats with rubber backing be washed in a washing machine?

Most rubber backed mats can be washed in the washing machine, but check the specific washing instructions as they do vary per mat.

Is the rubber border on the mats a constant thickness from edge to pile?

The thickness of the rubber border can vary depending on the type of mat. For most mats, the border is flat and consistent, but certain designs, like the AquaProtect mat, may have a raised border.

Are Rubber Backed Door Mats safe on top of a carpet where someone uses a Zimmer frame?

Many entrance mats are designed with rubber edging to help reduce trip risks, and standard entrance mats in this range are up to 11mm thick, while coir options are thicker at 17mm or 23mm. For use over carpet with a Zimmer frame, the safest choice will depend on the carpet and how much clearance and stability you need, so lower-profile mats are generally the better option.
