Types of Indoor Door Mats and Outdoor Door Mats

We split our models of door mats into indoor and outdoor designs. However, some of our mats will work for either purpose.

Indoor Door Mats

Indoor door mats tend to pull and scrape dirt and debris from shoes, preventing it from tracking throughout your home or commercial building. Many indoor designs have raised areas across the surface to make it easier to scrape the bottom and sides of the shoes.

Outdoor Door Mats

Outdoor door mats have materials that focus on pulling water away from the bottom of the shoes before forcing it to drain through the bottom of the mat. The materials in outdoor mats are made to withstand the sun’s UV rays and wide fluctuations in temperatures without breaking down. Outdoor door mats tend to have designs and materials that can collect more dirt and moisture than indoor mats because they’re the first line of defense for keeping your home or business building cleaner.
