Outdoor Entrance Mats

Options for Outdoor Entrance Mats

Create the perfect greeting for visitors, employees, business associates, or even guests to your home when you select outdoor entrance mats from Greatmats. Our entrance carpet or rubber mats provide the perfect greeting for people coming to your door while keeping them safe from slips. These mats provide a barrier against damp conditions from outdoors being tracked indoors.

Extend the exterior walk-off mats indoors, and you’ll have additional protection from wet, slippery floors. The team in charge of building maintenance will appreciate the cleaner floors … even if that ''team'' is your kid because it’s their chore for this week.

Types of Commercial Outdoor Entrance Mats

We have three formats and types of commercial outdoor entrance mats.

Mats

Mats available in pre-cut sizes are the most popular option for external rugs. They often have beveled edges to reduce the trip hazard.

Tiles

When you want to create a specific coverage size or must cover an odd-shaped area, interlocking tiles work well. Our Entrance Linear Tile with a mixture of carpet and plastic is extremely popular.

Rolls

Rolls can cover a long, narrow walkway, letting people scrape their shoes multiple times before reaching the main flooring. Our Waterhog Max Roll is one of our most popular outdoor walk-off mat carpet products.

Common Entrance Mat Outdoor Materials

Several different materials are commonly used in our entrance mat outdoor products.

Carpet

Carpet is a popular choice for mats because of its rough texture for catching dirt and debris from shoes and its pleasing look. Our mats consist of carpet alone, polyester carpet, and carpet on plastic.

Rubber

Rubber mats have excellent traction and top-notch durability. They frequently consist of recycled tires, which makes them an environmentally friendly choice.

PET and Rubber

These mats have a mixture of PET (polypropylene) fibers and rubber to create a long-lasting outdoor entrance mat. The PET fibers resemble carpet, while the rubber nubs prevent the PET fibers from crushing under the weight of people walking on them.

Polypropylene Plastic

Polypropylene plastic mats and tiles offer excellent traction and durability.

Outdoor Entrance Mats Q&A

What are the best large outdoor mats?

The best large outdoor mats can transform an outdoor space with weatherproof capabilities and UV resistance. When used as entrance and walkway matting to the building, they need to provide traction and the ability to drain water away. Rubber and carpet work nicely for heavy-duty outdoor entrance mats.

How large is an outdoor mat?

The size of an outdoor mat can range from as small as about 2 by 3 feet to huge mats that cover a long walkway at the entrance to a building. The largest mats for a walkway can measure 6 by 67 feet, allowing them to serve as walk-off matting. You can connect smaller indoor/outdoor entrance mats to cover a large space in an industrial setting or at a business, too.
