Super Scrape Rubber Logo Mats put your logo on a mat that earns its place at the door. The nitrile rubber surface uses raised circular cleats to scrape dirt and water off shoes before they reach your floors, and the artwork is set into the rubber rather than coated on top — so the branding holds up through heavy traffic instead of scuffing away. They're among the most rugged of our outdoor logo mats, built for real commercial use indoors or out.

The logo is digitally printed on a polymeric film, then heat-pressed into the nitrile rubber so it becomes part of the mat. That process reproduces photo-realistic detail — multi-color artwork, tones, and gradients all come through cleanly, which is what separates these printed floor mats from simple one-color welcome mats. You get 150 standard colors to work from, with PMS matching available — up to four PMS colors per design — when a logo has to be exact.

The raised cleats give the mat a high-traction surface that's certified by the National Floor Safety Institute, which matters at a wet entrance where a slip turns into a liability claim. The all-nitrile build also resists oils and chemicals, so the mat holds up at tougher doorways — entries near commercial kitchens, service bays, and manufacturing floors — not just clean lobby entrances. It works indoors or out, though under constant direct sun the printed color softens over time.

The mat comes in standard sizes from 2.5' x 3' up to 6' x 8', so most entrances are covered without custom cutting — what's custom is the artwork, built to your logo and colors. Cleaning is simple: shake or sweep off loose debris and hose it down, or have it commercially laundered. Plan to replace it when the cleats wear smooth or the printed color has faded enough to lose its punch at the door.

Frequently Asked Questions

How well does the logo hold up outdoors and under heavy traffic?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Better than a surface-printed mat. The artwork is printed on a film and heat-pressed into the nitrile rubber, so it's set into the mat instead of sitting on top as a coating that can scuff or peel. Under heavy door traffic, the raised cleats usually wear smooth before the logo gives out. Outdoors, direct sun is the limiting factor — the color softens gradually over the years rather than failing all at once.

Can you match our exact brand colors?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes. There are 150 standard colors to work from, which covers most logos as they are. When a brand needs precise color, PMS matching is available for up to four colors per design. Because the image is digitally printed before it's pressed into the rubber, photo-realistic detail holds up — multi-color marks, gradients, and fine type come through cleanly instead of being simplified into flat blocks.

What artwork do you need from us, and how detailed can the logo get?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Print-ready artwork works best — vector files or high-resolution images reproduce most cleanly. The process handles real detail, including photo-realistic images, multi-color designs, and shaded tones. As a rule of thumb, keep text at least half an inch tall and lines at least a sixteenth of an inch thick so they hold up in production. Send us the logo and the size you need, and we'll confirm how it reproduces before anything is made.

Can these go near kitchens or areas with oil and chemicals?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Yes — that's one of the real advantages of nitrile rubber. Standard rubber softens and breaks down with regular oil and chemical exposure, while nitrile resists both. That lets the mat hold up at doorways near commercial kitchens, auto and service bays, manufacturing floors, and food-service areas, where a standard logo mat would degrade.

The Perfec Clean 3/8" Rollup Mats — Aluminum Hinge is a recessed walk-off mat engineered for the busiest commercial entrances. The aluminum tread-rail surface scrapes dirt off incoming shoes and channels water and snow down into the well below, so the threshold stays presentable while the debris stays out of sight. What sets it apart is the structured aluminum hinge — it rolls up cleanly for cleaning and lays back flat without requiring any particular technique from the maintenance team.

The construction is built for volume. Tread rails are 6063-T52 aluminum, spaced 2 inches on center and connected by a size-retentive aluminum hinge with slotted holes for maximum drainage. The system carries a 400-pound-per-wheel rolling load rating, so luggage carts, hand trucks, and wheeled equipment cross it without deflecting the rails. It's made in America and meets Buy American Act requirements — which matters when the specification runs through government or institutional procurement.

It installs two ways. Recessed, it seats into a well between 3/8 and 7/16 inch deep and finishes flush with the surrounding floor — the clean, continuous look a recessed mat in a tiled floor is specified for. Surface-mounted, it needs a beveled perimeter frame so the raised edge doesn't become a tripping hazard at the threshold. Send the measured well depth, or tell us you're mounting on the surface, and we'll spec the right frame to match.

This is the workhorse end of the recessed grate systems range — the right call for high-traffic commercial floor grates at corporate lobbies, hospitality entries, transportation hubs, and institutional front doors. Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable, so the entrance reads as an intentional design element rather than a utility mat. The aluminum structure runs for decades; the tread inserts are the wear component and get replaced when they show it, without pulling the whole system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be recessed or surface-mounted, and what depth does the well need?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Both. For a recessed installation, the well should be 3/8 to 7/16 inch deep — the mat seats into it and finishes flush with the surrounding floor. For a surface-mounted installation, you add a beveled perimeter frame so the raised edge doesn't create a tripping hazard at the threshold. If the well is already built, send the measured depth and we'll confirm the fit; if it's still in the design stage, plan it to the 3/8-to-7/16-inch range.

How much traffic and rolling load can it handle?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's rated for 400 pounds per wheel, which covers luggage carts, hand trucks, wheelchairs, and most wheeled service equipment without the rails deflecting or the hinge loosening. The 6063-T52 aluminum tread rails are built to take continuous foot and wheeled traffic at the heaviest commercial entrances. The aluminum structure itself lasts for decades; what wears is the tread insert, which is designed to be replaced on its own without removing the rail system.

What finish and insert options are available?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

You can specify the aluminum finish, the tread insert type, and the insert colors — that's where the entrance gets its character. Neutral inserts in matching tones read quiet and refined; higher-contrast or color-blocked inserts make the threshold a deliberate design feature; scraping-style inserts lean functional for heavy-debris entries. Send your color palette or brand standards and we'll lay out the insert combinations that fit the space.

Does an aluminum grate look industrial, or can it suit a high-end entrance?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It can read very refined. The visible aluminum rails between textile insert bands give the threshold an architectural, intentional look that fits corporate lobbies, hospitality grand entries, and museum or institutional thresholds where the entrance is part of the design. The insert choice drives the final impression more than the metal does — quiet tones for restraint, contrast for a modern statement. It only reads industrial if you spec it that way.

The Perfec Clean 3/8" Rollup Mats — Rubber Hinge is a recessed walk-off mat built for the busiest commercial entrances, with one distinction from its aluminum-hinge sibling: the rubber hinge. The aluminum tread rails scrape dirt off incoming shoes and channel water and snow down into the well below, while the rubber hinge lets the system roll up quietly and flex over minor variation in the surface beneath — the right call where cleaning happens around people rather than after hours.

The construction is built for volume. Tread rails are 6063-T52 aluminum, spaced 2 inches on center with slotted holes for maximum drainage — the same heavy-duty rail system as the aluminum-hinge version. It's rated for a 400-pound-per-wheel rolling load, so carts, hand trucks, and wheeled equipment cross it without deflecting the rails. The rubber hinge connecting the rails flexes more on removal and runs quieter through the cleaning cycle. It's made in America and meets Buy American Act requirements.

It installs two ways. Recessed, it seats into a well 3/8 to 7/16 inch deep and finishes flush with the surrounding floor — the clean, continuous look a recessed mat in a tiled floor is specified for. Surface-mounted, it takes a beveled perimeter frame so the edge doesn't become a tripping hazard. The rubber hinge's extra flex also tolerates minor unevenness in the well floor that a rigid hinge wouldn't sit cleanly over. Send the measured well depth and we'll confirm the fit.

Within the recessed grate systems range, the rubber hinge is the pick for quieter, occupied spaces — healthcare corridors, hospitality during business hours, executive floors — and for wells with slight surface variation. Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable, so the threshold reads as a deliberate design element rather than a utility mat. The aluminum rails run for decades; the tread inserts are the wear component and get replaced when they show it, without pulling the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this be recessed or surface-mounted, and what depth does the well need?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Both. Recessed, the well should be 3/8 to 7/16 inch deep so the mat finishes flush with the surrounding floor. Surface-mounted, you add a beveled perimeter frame so the raised edge doesn't create a tripping hazard. The rubber hinge gives a little extra tolerance for minor unevenness in the well floor. If the well is already built, send the measured depth and we'll confirm the fit; if it's still in design, plan it to the 3/8-to-7/16-inch range.

What's the cleaning routine, and how long does it last?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Daily surface sweeping or vacuuming keeps loose debris off the rails; deeper cleaning means lifting the system out, clearing the well underneath, and setting it back — the rubber hinge rolls up quietly and tolerates more variation in the surface beneath during that cycle. The aluminum rail structure runs 15 to 20 years at moderate-traffic installations; the tread inserts are the wear component and get replaced every three to seven years depending on traffic and debris exposure.

When should I choose the rubber hinge over the aluminum one?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Pick the rubber hinge where quiet matters or the floor isn't perfectly even. It rolls up with less mechanical noise, which is the difference-maker in spaces cleaned while occupied — healthcare corridors, hotels during business hours, executive offices — and it flexes to sit cleanly over minor variation in the well floor that a rigid aluminum hinge would bridge awkwardly. Choose the aluminum hinge instead when you want maximum structural guidance during the lift cycle.

What finish and insert options are available, and does it look industrial?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable, so the read is yours to set. Neutral inserts in matching tones look quiet and refined; contrast or color-blocked inserts make the threshold a design feature; scraping-style inserts lean functional. The visible aluminum rails between insert bands give an architectural, intentional look that suits corporate, hospitality, and institutional entrances — it only reads industrial if you spec it that way. Send your palette and we'll lay out the combinations.

The Perfec Clean 3/4" Rollup Grate — Rubber Hinge steps up from the 3/8" systems to a deeper 3/4" rail height, built for recessed entrances facing more water and debris than a shallow grate can hold. The taller rails open more space for inserts and more reservoir capacity in the well below, so water, snow melt, and heavy debris drop out of the traffic path instead of saturating the surface. The rubber hinge lets the system roll up quietly for cleaning.

The construction handles the worst-case load. Aluminum tread rails at 3/4" height, with slotted drainage and a rubber hinge connecting them, channel dirt and water down into a deeper well than the 3/8" systems reach. That extra depth is the whole point — it gives the reservoir capacity that continuous-wet and high-debris entrances need. It carries a heavy per-wheel rolling load for carts and wheeled equipment, and it's made in America to Buy American Act standards.

This is a recessed system: the well needs roughly 7/8 inch of depth minimum to seat the 3/4" rails flush with the surrounding floor. It won't retrofit into a well built for a 3/8" construction, so confirm the depth before specifying. For new construction, design the well to the system rather than the reverse. Send the measured or planned well depth and we'll confirm the 3/4" grate fits — or point you to a shallower system if it doesn't.

Within the recessed grate systems range, the 3/4" rubber hinge is the pick for the wet and heavy-debris end — building entrances in wet climates, outdoor-to-indoor transitions at facilities with outdoor staging, and entries facing heavy gravel, sand, or snow-and-salt loads. Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable. The aluminum rail structure runs for decades; the tread inserts are the wear component and get replaced when they show it, without pulling the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need the 3/4" grate instead of a 3/8" system?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Step up to the 3/4" grate when the entrance handles more water or debris than a shallow system can hold — continuous-wet conditions, snow-and-salt loads, heavy gravel and sand, or outdoor-to-indoor transitions. The taller rails and deeper well give the reservoir capacity to keep that load below the walking surface between cleanings. It needs about 7/8 inch of well depth minimum, so it's a recessed system and won't drop into a well sized for a 3/8" construction.

How is it cleaned, and how long does it last?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Sweep or vacuum the rail surface daily to keep loose debris from working into the inserts; for deeper cleaning, the rubber hinge lets you roll the system up quietly, clear the deeper well underneath, and set it back. Because the well holds more, it goes longer between deep cleanings at wet and high-debris entries. The aluminum rail structure runs 15 to 20 years at moderate traffic; the tread inserts are the wear part, replaced every three to seven years depending on load.

A deeper grate sounds industrial — can it still look intentional at a nice entrance?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It can. The 3/4" system shows a bit more rail face than the shallow versions, but the same finish and insert choices control the read — neutral insert tones keep it quiet and architectural, contrast or color-blocking makes it a deliberate feature. It earns its place at wet-climate building entrances and transition zones where appearance still matters, like hotel and corporate entries that take real weather. Spec the inserts to the space and it reads as design, not utility.

What finish and insert options can we specify?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable. Neutral tones read refined; contrast or color-blocked inserts coordinate with brand standards at the threshold; scraping-style inserts lean functional for the heaviest debris. Larger orders can specify custom anodized finishes on the aluminum. Send your color palette or brand guidelines with the well dimensions and we'll lay out the combinations that fit.

The Perfec Clean 1-5/8" Grate is the heaviest construction in the recessed grate range, built for the deepest wells and the most aggressive incoming debris. At 1-5/8" rail height it holds far more water, snow melt, and heavy debris below the walking surface than the shallower systems — the reservoir capacity that industrial-leaning entrances need to keep the threshold clear between cleanings. Where volume and debris overwhelm a 3/8" or 3/4" grate, this is the system that keeps up.

The construction is sized for punishment. Aluminum tread rails at 1-5/8" height carry continuous foot and wheeled traffic while channeling water and heavy debris down into a deep well below. The depth is the defining feature — it gives substantial reservoir capacity for snow melt, gravel, sand, and standing water that smaller systems saturate under. Made in America to Buy American Act standards, it's specified where the entrance load sits at the top of the commercial range.

Well depth is the gating spec. The 1-5/8" rails need roughly 1-3/4 inch of well depth minimum to seat flush with the surrounding floor, well beyond what a 3/8" or 3/4" system requires. It won't retrofit into a shallower well, so confirm the depth before ordering — for new construction, design the recess to the system. Send the measured or planned well depth and we'll confirm the 1-5/8" grate fits, or route you to a shallower construction.

Within the recessed grate systems range, the 1-5/8" grate is the industrial-leaning specification — manufacturing facility entrances, transportation hubs, warehouse-adjacent thresholds, and any entry where the volume and aggression of incoming debris justify the deeper well. Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are still configurable where appearance matters. The aluminum structure runs for decades; the tread inserts are the wear component and get replaced when they show it.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the 1-5/8" grate the right call instead of a shallower system?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

When the incoming load is at the top of the commercial range — manufacturing and warehouse-adjacent entrances, transportation hubs, and entries facing heavy gravel, sand, snow melt, or standing water that a 3/8" or 3/4" system would saturate. The deep rails and well hold that debris below the walking surface far longer between cleanings. It needs roughly 1-3/4 inch of well depth minimum, so it's strictly a recessed system for purpose-built or deep wells.

What does maintenance look like, and how long does it last?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Surface sweeping or vacuuming keeps loose debris off the rails; periodic deep cleaning means clearing the well underneath — and because the well holds so much, high-debris entrances go longer between those deep cleanings than they would on a shallow grate. The aluminum rail structure runs 15 to 20 years or more at the moderate-to-heavy traffic these installations see; the tread inserts are the wear component, replaced every few years depending on how aggressive the debris load is.

This is clearly the industrial option — does it ever suit a visible, public entrance?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Mostly it lives where function leads — loading-adjacent doors, plant entrances, transit thresholds — and there the look is beside the point. But where a heavy-duty entry is also public, like a transit hub concourse or a building lobby that takes serious weather, the insert choice still controls the read: neutral tones keep it restrained, contrast makes it deliberate. It's a workhorse first, but it doesn't have to look raw if the space calls for more.

What finish and insert options can we specify on it?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Aluminum finish, tread insert type, and insert colors are all configurable, even on the heaviest construction. Scraping-style inserts make sense for the aggressive debris these entries see; textile inserts and specific color palettes are available where the threshold is more visible. Larger orders can specify custom anodized finishes. Send your debris profile and any brand color requirements with the well dimensions and we'll spec the insert configuration.

Berber Logo Mats put your logo at the door on a looped berber surface — a tight, low-profile weave with a subtle hobnail texture that reads as upscale rather than promotional. The logo is digitally printed in high definition, so the artwork stays crisp, and the same tight weave that holds the print also scrapes dirt and moisture off shoes before either reaches your floor.

What a Berber Logo Mat Does Before Your Brand Looks Tired at the Door

A logo mat is doing two jobs from the moment someone walks up: it shows your brand and it protects the floor. ISSA field data shows a building takes on up to 12 times more dirt during wet weather, and it takes six to eight steps to walk a sole dry. A mat that catches that grit keeps your entrance clean — and keeps the logo from sitting in a smear of tracked-in dirt.

The looped berber weave is tight enough to scrape and hold dirt and moisture, so the floor past the mat stays cleaner and the logo stays legible instead of muddy. That matters because a worn or grimy logo mat does the opposite of its job — it makes the brand look neglected at the exact spot where a visitor forms a first impression.

Why Berber Loop, and Why This One

The surface is needle-punched PET fiber, about 44 ounces per square yard, made with at least 80% recycled content reclaimed from plastic bottles. The loop-pile berber has a smooth, even face, which is what lets the logo print crisply — the artwork is built up in layers of color and matched to a standard palette of 56 colors, so edges and lettering stay sharp.

Berber's tight weave is the durable part. It stands up to heavy foot traffic without the surface breaking down, and the hobnail texture gives it an upscale look that plain printed mats miss. The fiber is naturally stain- and fade-resistant, so the logo holds its color through regular cleaning rather than washing out after a season.

Underneath is an SBR rubber backing that contains 20% recycled tire content and keeps the mat in place to cut slipping. You can spec a universal cleated backing for carpet or a smooth backing for hard floors, and the whole mat sits low — easy to clean by vacuuming or hosing off, and low enough not to catch a door swing.

Where It Belongs (and Where It Doesn't)

This is a branding mat for indoor and covered-outdoor entries — lobbies, front desks, storefronts, building entrances, and anywhere you want a company logo greeting people as they arrive. As premium carpet logo mats go, the berber loop is on the upscale end, and it works equally well as commercial rugs with logo inside reception areas and retail floors.

What it is not is a full-sun outdoor mat. The print fades in direct sunlight, so it belongs under a canopy, an overhang, a vestibule, or indoors — not exposed on an open sidewalk. It's also a branding mat that catches dirt and moisture, not an aggressive scraper for mud and gravel; keep the heaviest debris to a coarse outdoor mat and let the berber handle the finish and the logo.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

Three things decide whether a berber logo mat is the right call.

First, the light. The print fades in direct sun, so this mat is for covered or indoor spots only. If your entrance faces open sky for hours a day, a different construction will hold its color better — be honest about the exposure before you commit the logo to it.

Second, the artwork. Logos print best with text at least 1.5 inches tall and lines no thinner than a quarter inch, and very fine detail or pale backgrounds don't translate well — light colors also show dirt faster. Simple, bold artwork in darker or neutral tones reads cleanly and stays looking sharp.

Third, the floor and the size. Choose a cleated backing for carpet or a smooth one for hard floors, and size the mat to the traffic, not just the doorway — aim to cover the six-to-eight steps it takes to dry a sole. Standard sizes run up to 6'×12', with custom lengths to 20 feet.

Why Mats Inc.

Mats Inc. has specified commercial matting since 1964, so when you're putting your brand on the floor, you're working with people who know which logo construction survives your specific entrance — and which will fade or flatten in it. We help you set up the artwork inside the print limits, pick the backing for your floor, and size the run so the mat protects as well as it presents. For the rest of the range, start with our commercial entrance mats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the logo actually printed, and will it stay sharp?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

The logo is built up in layers of color on the smooth berber surface and matched to a standard palette of 56 colors. That layering is what gives the high-definition look — crisp edges and clean lettering — as long as the artwork respects the print limits: text at least 1.5 inches tall, lines no thinner than a quarter inch, and no fine tints or transparencies. Bold, simple artwork holds up best. The fiber is naturally stain- and fade-resistant, so the print stays sharp through regular cleaning rather than washing out.

How well does it hold up to heavy traffic?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

The tight berber weave is the durable part — it's built to take heavy foot traffic without the surface breaking down, and the hobnail loop holds its texture rather than crushing flat the way a softer pile would. A mat that mats down stops scraping and starts looking worn, so that crush resistance is what keeps both the logo and the floor protection working.

The one thing that shortens its life is sunlight: the print fades in direct sun, so a covered or indoor spot is essential. Used under cover and cleaned regularly — vacuumed, or hosed off and hung to dry — it holds its look for years.

Can I put it outside?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Only under cover. Berber logo mats are made for indoor and covered-outdoor entries — under a canopy, in a vestibule, or inside a lobby. They're not built for full sun, because the print fades when it's exposed directly, and they're branding mats rather than coarse scrapers for mud and gravel. The best setup outdoors is a rugged scraper mat first to take the heavy debris, with the berber logo mat just inside or under the overhang where it stays clean, dry, and out of direct light.

What sizes can I get?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Standard sizes run from 2'×3' up to 6'×12', and custom lengths are available in standard widths up to 20 feet — useful for a wide storefront entry or a long lobby walkway.

Size it to the traffic, not just the door opening. Aim to cover the six-to-eight steps it takes to dry a sole, so the mat protects the floor and shows the logo at full size rather than getting walked past in a stride or two.

What does it look like, and what colors are there?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It has an upscale, low-profile look — the looped berber weave with a subtle hobnail texture reads as refined rather than promotional, which suits a polished lobby or reception area. There are 56 standard colors to build the logo and background from, so you can match a brand palette closely. One tip: skip very light background colors, since pale tones show tracked-in dirt faster — darker or neutral backgrounds keep the mat looking clean longer between cleanings.

Can it match our exact brand colors, and what artwork works best?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Colors are matched to a standard 56-color palette rather than exact PMS values, so it's a close brand match within that range rather than a precise ink match — worth knowing if your brand standard is strict. For artwork, bold logos and clear lettering reproduce beautifully; very fine detail, thin lines, gradients, and transparencies don't translate well to the woven surface. Send us your logo and we'll tell you straight whether it'll read well at mat scale or needs a small adjustment first.

Wonder Pro Matting is a plush, cut-pile olefin entrance mat made to soak up water and fine dust at the door, in a deep range of colors. Where some entrance mats scrape coarse grit, this one is built to wipe shoes clean and hold moisture and fine dirt — pulling it off the sole and keeping it on the mat, so a medium-traffic interior stays cleaner and drier past the threshold.

What Wonder Pro Matting Does Before Water and Dust Reach Your Floor

Most of what dirties an interior floor comes in on shoes — not just mud, but fine dust and moisture you don't always see. ISSA field data shows a building takes on up to 12 times more dirt during wet weather, and it takes six to eight steps to walk a sole dry. A mat at the door is where that gets caught before it spreads onto the floor.

Wonder Pro is built for the fine stuff. The plush cut-pile olefin face holds water and fine dirt rather than letting it pass through — it retains about 60% more liquid and fine dust than a standard mat — and a vinyl backing acts as a moisture barrier, keeping what the mat collects off the floor underneath instead of soaking through to it.

Why a Plush Olefin Surface, and Why This One

The face is cut-pile olefin — a dense, soft polypropylene pile that behaves like carpet and holds moisture deep in the fibers. That plush surface is what lets it pull moisture from shoes: a sole sinks slightly into the pile and leaves water and fine dust behind. The olefin resists fading, staining, mold, and mildew, so it keeps its look and doesn't turn musty as it works.

Underneath is a DINP-free PVC vinyl backing that doubles as a moisture barrier — it grips the floor and stops the water the mat holds from reaching the surface below. This mat holds moisture and fine dust rather than scraping coarse grit: it's rated for medium interior traffic and tuned for the fine stuff, not for knocking heavy mud off boots.

It also comes in a deep set of colors — Black, Castellan Red, Charcoal, Marlin Blue, Pebble Brown, and Walnut — so the mat can match a lobby or reception scheme rather than just sit there in standard gray. The colors are part of the point: this is the entrance mat for spots where the floor is on show.

Where It Belongs (and Where It Doesn't)

This is an interior, medium-traffic mat for spaces where appearance and a clean, dry floor both matter — office building lobbies, small retail floors, banks, churches, motels, and reception areas. It shines a few steps inside the door, finishing the job of drying shoes and catching the fine dust a coarse mat misses.

Where it's the wrong call is outdoors or against heavy mud and grit. As a plush mat it isn't built to scrape coarse debris or take the weather, and a flood of mud would clog the pile. The right setup is a scraper outside or at the first door, with Wonder Pro inside to finish the job — and to look good doing it.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

Three things decide whether Wonder Pro fits your entrance.

First, where it sits. Wonder Pro is a moisture-and-dust mat for the interior, after coarse debris is mostly off. If it's the only mat facing a muddy or gritty entrance, it'll load up faster than it can handle; paired with a scraper ahead of it, it does its job for years.

Second, the size. It comes in standard sizes from 2'×3' up to 6'×10', plus rolls and custom sizes up to 11'9" wide — useful for a wide lobby run or an odd opening. Size it to cover the steps it takes to dry a sole, not just the doorway.

Third, the color and the look. With six colors to choose from, pick a tone that fits the space and hides traffic — darker shades like Charcoal and Walnut stay looking clean longer between cleanings, while a color like Marlin Blue or Castellan Red can pick up a brand or interior accent.

Why Mats Inc.

Mats Inc. has specified commercial matting since 1964, so when the floor at your entrance is on display, we help you choose a mat that protects it and looks right doing it — matching the surface, size, and color to the space and the traffic. We'll also tell you when a spot needs a coarse scraper ahead of a plush mat like this rather than the plush mat alone. For the rest of the indoor range, see our all indoor entrance mats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a plush mat hold dirt and water?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's the opposite approach to a hard scraper. The face is a dense cut-pile olefin — a soft, carpet-like pile — and when a shoe presses into it, water and fine dust transfer off the sole and settle down between the fibers, where they stay instead of being tracked on. The pile holds about 60% more liquid and fine dirt than a standard mat. Underneath, a vinyl backing works as a moisture barrier, so the water the mat collects stays in the pile and off the floor below.

How much traffic can it handle, and what wears it out?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's rated for medium interior traffic — office lobbies, retail floors, reception areas, and similar spaces. In those spots it holds up for years, and the olefin resists fading, staining, mold, and mildew, so it keeps its look and doesn't turn musty as it absorbs moisture.

What wears it out early is the wrong job. A plush pile clogs and mats down if it's left to face heavy mud and grit alone, or placed where far more traffic crosses it than it's rated for. Keep it to medium interior traffic, with coarse debris handled ahead of it, and it lasts.

Can I use it outdoors, and how do I clean it?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Keep it indoors. Wonder Pro is built for interior medium traffic — it isn't made for weather or for scraping heavy outdoor grit, so an exposed exterior door will wear it down fast. Inside, it's the mat that finishes drying shoes a few steps in. To clean it, vacuum regularly and extract or hose it off when it's heavily soiled, then let it dry fully before it goes back down — the olefin resists mold and mildew, but any mat works best dry.

What sizes can I get, and can it be made to fit?

Standard sizes run from 2'×3' up to 6'×10', and it also comes in 60-foot rolls. If you need a custom size, it can be made up to 11'9" wide and 60 feet long — wide enough for a full lobby run or an unusual opening.

Size it to the traffic path, not just the door, so it covers the steps it takes to dry a sole. And if the mat will sit out in the open rather than wall-to-wall, ask for edged ends — standard rolls ship without edging unless you specify it.

What does it look like, and what colors are there?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It has a plush, carpet-like surface that looks more finished and softer underfoot than a hard ribbed or rubber mat — a good fit for a lobby, bank, church, or reception area where the entrance is on display. There are six colors: Black, Castellan Red, Charcoal, Marlin Blue, Pebble Brown, and Walnut. The colors resist fading and staining, and darker tones like Charcoal and Walnut keep looking clean longer between cleanings, while Castellan Red or Marlin Blue can pick up a brand or interior accent.

Can I match it to our space or get a custom size?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

On size, yes — custom dimensions up to 11'9" by 60 feet mean you can fit a wide entry or a specific footprint rather than settling for the nearest stock size. On color, the six-color range lets you tie the mat to an interior scheme or a brand palette.

If you want an actual printed logo at the door, that's a different construction — a logo mat — and we can point you to one. Wonder Pro itself is about a clean, colored, plush surface that protects the floor and looks the part, rather than carrying artwork.

Cross-Over Matting is a loop-pile entrance mat that scrapes debris and moisture off shoes at the door while starting to dry them — the middle step in a layered entrance setup, between the coarse mat outside and the absorbent mat inside. The looped olefin surface is abrasive enough to clean shoes and resilient enough to hold its look in steady commercial traffic.

What Cross-Over Matting Does Before Dirt and Water Reach Your Floor

Dirt and water come into a building on shoes — and one mat at the threshold usually can't catch all of it. ISSA field data shows a building takes on up to 12 times more dirt during wet weather, and it takes six to eight steps to walk a sole dry. The most effective entrances use more than one mat to catch debris in stages.

Cross-Over is built to be the middle of that sequence. Its abrasive loop-pile surface scrapes off the grit and moisture a coarse outdoor mat leaves behind, and the sturdy olefin fibers begin drying the shoe before someone steps onto the floor or onto a softer absorbent mat further in. It's non-absorbent by design — it cleans the shoe and passes it along rather than soaking up and holding water.

Why a Loop-Pile Olefin Surface, and Why This One

The surface is a loop pile built from polypropylene ribbon yarn and continuous filament yarn — a combination that gives it an abrasive, hard-wearing texture rather than a soft plush one. That loop scrapes debris off the bottom of shoes and resists crushing, so it keeps its cleaning bite and its appearance instead of matting down into flat lanes under traffic.

The olefin fiber resists fading and crushing, which is what lets a loop-pile mat keep a tidy, finished look at a visible entrance over time. The loop construction reads richer than a flat ribbed mat, so it suits a lobby or front-of-house spot where appearance counts — while still doing real scraping work.

Underneath is a DINP-free PVC vinyl backing that grips the floor and protects it from whatever the mat scrapes off. It holds the mat flat on hard floors and low carpet, and at 5/16 inch the whole mat stays low enough not to catch a door swing or trip a foot at the edge.

Where It Belongs (and Where It Doesn't)

Cross-Over fits interior, medium-traffic entrances — convenience stores, restaurants, hotels, theaters, museums, and convention centers, where a steady stream of people crosses the threshold and the entrance is on view. It's certified high-traction by the National Floor Safety Institute, so it gives a safe surface where shoes arrive wet.

Where it falls short is as a building's only mat or as an outdoor scraper. It's the middle of a system, not the whole system: against heavy mud it wants a coarse scraper ahead of it, and because it's non-absorbent, a wet climate benefits from an absorbent mat inside it to finish the drying. Outdoors and in full weather, it isn't the right construction.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

Three things decide whether Cross-Over fits your entrance.

First, the rest of your matting. Cross-Over works best as the middle mat — a coarse scraper outside, this loop-pile mat at the door, and an absorbent mat inside. If it's going in alone, be honest about how much dirt and water it'll face, because one mat rarely catches it all.

Second, the size. Standard sizes run from 2'×3' up to 6'×10', and larger sizes over 6 feet — up to 11'9" — are made by seaming. Plan for that seam on the widest runs, and size the mat to cover the steps it takes to dry a sole, not just the doorway.

Third, the floor and the finish. The vinyl backing suits hard floors and low carpet and protects the surface beneath. If the mat will sit out in the open rather than wall-to-wall, order edged ends — standard rolls ship without edging unless you ask for it.

Why Mats Inc.

Mats Inc. has specified commercial entrance matting since 1964, so we don't just sell you a mat — we help you build the entrance. For a real front door we'll map the whole sequence, from the coarse scraper outside to the loop-pile mat at the threshold to the absorbent mat inside, and tell you where Cross-Over fits in yours. We match construction to traffic and size to the doorway. For the rest of the indoor range, see our all indoor entrance mats.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a loop-pile mat clean shoes?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

The surface is a loop pile made from polypropylene ribbon and filament yarn — a tough, slightly abrasive texture rather than a soft plush one. As a shoe crosses it, the loops scrape grit and surface moisture off the sole, and the olefin fibers start drying the shoe. It's non-absorbent on purpose: instead of soaking up and holding water like a plush mat, it cleans the shoe and passes it along, which is why it works best as one mat in a layered entrance rather than the only one.

Will it crush down or fade in a busy entrance?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's built to resist both. The loop-pile construction is crush-resistant, so it holds its texture instead of matting flat into shiny traffic lanes, and the olefin fiber resists fading, so the color stays even at a visible entrance. Those two things are what usually go first on a loop mat, and they're the ones this construction is made to hold.

It's rated for medium interior traffic — convenience stores, restaurants, hotels, and similar spots. Pushed past that, or left to face heavy mud alone, any loop mat loads up and wears faster, so the way to get years out of it is to keep it to medium traffic with coarser debris handled ahead of it.

Can I use it by itself, or outdoors?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It's designed as the middle mat in a layered entrance, not a standalone or an outdoor mat. The best setup is a coarse scraper outside to take heavy debris, Cross-Over at the threshold to scrape off what's left and start drying, and an absorbent mat just inside to finish — because Cross-Over is non-absorbent, it doesn't hold much water on its own. Used alone at a busy or wet door, more gets past it than you'd want; outdoors, it isn't built for the weather.

What sizes can I get?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Standard sizes run from 2'×3' up to 6'×10', and it comes in 60-foot rolls. Larger mats over 6 feet — up to 11'9" — are made by seaming panels together, so a wide lobby run is possible, just with a seam in it.

Size the mat to the traffic path, not only the door, so it covers the steps it takes to dry a sole. If it'll sit out in the open rather than wall-to-wall, ask for edged ends — standard rolls ship without edging unless you specify it.

What does it look like, and what colors are there?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

The loop-pile surface has a richer, more textured look than a flat ribbed or rubber mat, which is why it suits a front-of-house entrance — a hotel lobby, a restaurant, a museum — where the floor is on display. It comes in two two-tone colors, Brown and Gray, both designed to blend with common interior schemes and hide tracked-in dirt between cleanings. The two-tone effect helps the mat read as finished rather than utilitarian while it does its work.

Can I get it in a custom size or with our logo?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

On size, yes within limits — beyond the standard sizes, widths over 6 feet up to 11'9" are made by seaming, so you can cover a wider entrance with a seam in the mat. On a logo, no: Cross-Over is a plain two-color loop mat, not a printed or logo construction. If you want branding at the door, that's a different product — a logo mat — and we can point you to one. For a clean, hard-wearing mat that looks the part at a front entrance, Cross-Over does that without the artwork.

A Spaghetti Mat is an open, coiled-vinyl scraper — the looped surface looks like a tangle of spaghetti, and that tangle is what pulls mud and grit off shoes at the door. It is a light-traffic outdoor scraper that drains and dries fast, made to keep debris outside the building instead of tracked across the floor inside.

What a Spaghetti Mat Does Before the Dirt Gets Inside

An outdoor entrance is where most of a building's dirt arrives. A scraper mat's job is to take that dirt off shoes before it crosses the threshold — and that matters, because ISSA field data shows about twelve times more dirt enters a building during wet weather. The coiled loops scrape from every direction and let the loosened grit and water fall through to the surface below, so it stays off the floor inside.

Why Coiled Vinyl, and Why This One

The mat is built from looped PVC — vinyl coiled into an open, springy surface about three-eighths of an inch thick. The loops run in no single direction, so they scrape a shoe no matter which way someone steps. The vinyl resists mildew and fading, and the open structure dries quickly instead of staying soggy after rain.

It comes two ways. A backed version has a foam backing that helps it sit still on a hard floor; an unbacked version skips the backing so water runs straight through, which suits a recessed well or any spot where drainage matters. Both are slip-resistant, and either can be finished with an applied vinyl edge.

Where It Belongs, and Where It Doesn't

A Spaghetti Mat fits lighter-traffic entrances — office buildings, small retail stores, banks, post offices, churches, and motels — and it is at its best outdoors, where draining and scraping count more than a finished look. It works in a surface spot or dropped into a recessed well, and it sits in our range of exterior entrance mats for the door that needs a workhorse scraper.

What it is not is a heavy-traffic mat or a drying mat. It is rated for light to medium use, so a high-volume entrance will wear it faster than it should — step up to a heavier scraper there. And it scrapes far better than it wipes, so it will not dry wet shoes on its own. Pair it with an absorbent mat inside for that.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

First, be honest about the traffic. The Spaghetti Mat is a light-to-medium-traffic scraper, and that is where it earns its keep. At a busy main entrance with constant footfall, a heavier-built scraper will hold up longer, so save this one for secondary doors, service entries, and lower-volume buildings.

Second, choose backed or unbacked, and size it. Pick the backed version to keep the mat planted on a hard floor, or the unbacked version where water needs to drain straight through, such as a recessed well. Standard sizes are three by five and four by six feet, with rolls up to four feet wide cut to length.

Third, plan what pairs with it. Because it scrapes but does not absorb, set an absorbent mat just inside the door so the Spaghetti Mat knocks off the mud and water outside and the second mat dries what is left. That two-stage setup is what keeps the floor inside clean and dry.

Why Mats Inc.

We have specified entrance matting since 1964, and the right scraper depends on the door it guards. We will help you weigh backed against unbacked, match the size to the opening, and decide whether a light-traffic scraper is the right call or the entrance needs something heavier. Tell us the traffic and the setting, and we will spec it to fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Spaghetti Mat made of?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It is built from looped PVC — vinyl coiled into an open, springy surface about three-eighths of an inch thick. The loops run in no single direction, so the mat scrapes a shoe whichever way someone steps onto it. It comes in a backed version, with a foam backing that helps it stay put on a hard floor, and an unbacked version that lets water run straight through. The vinyl resists mildew and fading, so it holds up to weather outdoors.

How much traffic can it handle, and how long will it last?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It is a light-to-medium-traffic scraper, so it is happiest at secondary doors, smaller retail spaces, offices, and similar buildings rather than a high-volume main entrance. The backed version weighs about 0.69 pounds per square foot and the unbacked about 0.53, enough to stay in place without being a chore to lift and clean. Because the vinyl resists mildew and fading, it keeps its look outdoors. In a busier doorway, plan to step up to a heavier scraper that will last longer under constant footfall.

Does it drain, and should I get the backed or unbacked version?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Both scrape well; the difference is what happens to the water. The unbacked version is open underneath, so water and grit fall straight through — that is the one for a recessed well or any spot where drainage matters. The backed version has a foam backing that keeps it planted on a hard, flat floor where you do not want it sliding. If the mat is going outdoors where rain needs somewhere to go, unbacked is usually the call; on a dry interior floor, backed.

What colors does it come in, and will it look right out front?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It comes in brown, gray, and black in the backed version, and brown or gray unbacked. The look is honest and utilitarian — a practical scraper rather than a decorative mat — so it suits service entries, side doors, and lower-key building fronts. For a polished main entrance where the mat is part of the first impression, a more finished entrance mat usually fits the look better, with the Spaghetti Mat doing the rough work elsewhere.

Can I get it in a custom size?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes, within its width. Standard mats come in three-by-five and four-by-six feet, and it is also sold in rolls up to four feet wide that we cut to the length you need — so a long or non-standard run is straightforward as long as it stays within that four-foot width. If you want the cut edges finished, just tell us which sides, and we will add an applied vinyl edge there.

Can you add our logo to it?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Not this mat — the Spaghetti Mat is a plain functional scraper, with no logo or custom-color option. Its job is taking dirt and water off shoes, not carrying a brand. If you want your logo at the door, that belongs on a logo construction made for it, which we can point you to. Many buyers use both: a logo mat where people see it, and a scraper like this one where the real cleaning happens.

Coir Matting is natural coconut-coir fiber tufted onto a solid vinyl base — the original boot-scraping fiber, set on a backing that keeps what it catches off your floor. The stiff coir brushes grit and moisture off shoes at the door, while the vinyl base seals the underside so nothing leaks through to the floor below. It cuts cleanly to fit a recessed well or a vestibule.

What Coir Matting Does Before Grit Reaches the Floor

Coir has scraped boots clean for well over a century, and the reason is the fiber: stiff, dense, and naturally good at brushing grit and soaking up moisture off shoes. ISSA research shows the entrance is where most of a building's dirt arrives, so a mat that pulls it off early keeps it from grinding across the floor inside. The vinyl base does the other half of the job — it holds the dirt and water on the mat instead of letting it leak through to the floor underneath.

Why Coir on a Vinyl Base, and Why This One

The mat is natural coconut coir tufted into a heavy vinyl base, about five-eighths of an inch thick overall. The coir is the working surface: a tough natural fiber that brushes and holds dirt and moisture the way a synthetic mat cannot quite match. It is the fiber people picture at a welcoming front door, and it has been doing the job since coco mats first came to the States in the 1800s.

The vinyl base is what sets this apart from a plain woven coco mat. A woven-back mat lets water seep straight through to the floor; this one seals the underside, so the floor stays protected and dry beneath it. Because the fibers are locked into that base, the mat can be cut to any shape without unraveling — which is what makes it work in a recessed well.

Where It Belongs, and What It Is Not

Coir Matting is at its best in covered, contained spots — vestibules, lobbies, and recessed entrance wells at commercial and residential doors. It comes in six-foot-wide rolls cut to size, and for a large recess the pieces can be cut and fused so the seam barely shows. It sits in our range of moisture-control entrance matting as the natural-fiber option that traps grit and water on a sealed base.

What it is not is a fully-exposed outdoor mat or a drain-through grid. Coir is a natural fiber, so constant sun and rain wear it faster than a synthetic — it lasts far longer under cover. And the vinyl base means water does not drain through it; it holds moisture on top, so where a spot needs water to run away, an open grid mat is the right tool instead.

Three Things to Check Before You Spec It

First, check how exposed the spot is. Under a portico, in a vestibule, or recessed at a covered entrance, coir holds up well and looks the part. In an open doorway that takes direct sun and driving rain, it will wear and fade faster than a rubber or synthetic mat — so save coir for the sheltered entries and use something weatherproof where the elements hit.

Second, measure the opening, especially a recess. The matting comes in six-foot-wide rolls cut to your length, and custom shapes are workable because the fibers will not unravel at a cut edge. For a recess wider than a single piece, sections are cut and fused together so the joint is hard to spot. Send the well's dimensions and we will plan the layout.

Third, pick the color and expect a little shedding at first. It comes in natural, chocolate brown, and maroon, with printed designs available if you want a pattern. Like all coir, a new mat sheds some loose fiber for the first week or two — that is normal and settles down with a few vacuumings, not a defect.

Why Mats Inc.

We have specified entrance matting since 1964, and coir is a material we know how to place. We will match the thickness and color to the entrance, cut the roll to your recess, and fuse the seams so a large well reads as one clean mat — then point you to a weatherproof option instead if the spot is too exposed for natural fiber. Send the dimensions and we will lay it out.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Coir Matting made of?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

It is natural coconut-coir fiber tufted onto a heavy vinyl base, about five-eighths of an inch thick overall. Coir is the stiff, dense fiber from coconut husks — the classic boot-scraping material — and here it is locked into a solid vinyl backing rather than a woven one. That sealed base is the key difference from a plain woven coco mat: water and grit stay on the mat instead of leaking through to the floor underneath.

How long does coir last, and can it go outside?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Coir is tough and scrapes well, but it is a natural fiber, so where it lives matters. Under cover — a vestibule, a portico, a recessed entry — it holds up and keeps its look for a good while. In a fully-exposed doorway taking direct sun and rain, it wears and fades faster than a synthetic or rubber mat, so those spots are better served by a weatherproof option. One normal quirk: a new coir mat sheds loose fiber for a week or two before it settles, which a few vacuumings clear up.

Can it fit a recessed mat well?

Answered by Dustin Thompson, Owner & CEO

Yes — that is one of its strengths. The matting comes in six-foot-wide rolls and cuts cleanly to any shape without unraveling, because the fibers are anchored into the vinyl base. For a recess wider than a single piece, sections are cut and fused together so the joining line is hard to see, and the whole thing sits down in the well at the right height. Send the recess dimensions and we will plan the cut.

What colors does it come in?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Three: natural, chocolate brown, and maroon. The natural tone is the warm, golden coir look most people picture at a front door, while the brown and maroon read a little richer and more finished. All three suit a traditional or hospitality entrance where you want the doorway to feel welcoming rather than industrial — coir has a warmth that synthetic mats do not quite have.

Can we get a custom size, shape, or a printed design?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

Yes to all three. Because it is cut from wide rolls and the cut edges hold without unraveling, custom sizes and shapes are straightforward — useful for an odd-shaped recess or a wide entrance. Printed designs are also available if you want a pattern or motif on the coir rather than a plain field. Send your dimensions and what you have in mind, and we will confirm what works.

Does it look right at a nicer entrance?

Answered by Jinna Hopson, Vice President of Marketing

It does, in the right setting. Coir reads natural and classic — the brushy texture and warm tone are exactly what people associate with a welcoming, well-kept doorway, which is why it suits hospitality, retail, and residential entries. It is less the look for a sleek modern lobby, where a finished synthetic or grid mat fits better, but for a traditional or warm entrance under cover, coir looks the part.
