Entrance mat function and benefits
Choosing the right entrance mat is more than an interior design question – it’s a strategic investment. The right mat stops up to 80% of dirt right at the door. Here are the main benefits:
Lower cleaning costs By stopping grit and moisture at the entrance, you reduce the need for cleaning further inside and protect floors from scratches.
Increased safety Wet floors mean a risk of slipping. A good mat absorbs moisture and stays firmly in place, creating safety for customers and staff.
Stronger brand image A clean entrance signals professionalism. With a logo mat, you also build brand awareness right at the door.
Three types of entrance mats – how they work
An effective entrance relies on teamwork. Here are the three main types you need to know to remove dirt step by step:
Optimal Entrance Mat Solution – Zone by Zone
For the best possible protection, a zoned solution is recommended.
An effective solution guides visitors from coarse dirt outside to a clean indoor environment.
Zone 1 – Outdoors: The First Barrier
Robust scraper mat that handles snow and grit. Tip: Make sure it covers the entire width.
Zone 2 – Vestibule/Entrance: The Fine Work
Combination mat that scrapes and absorbs. Tip: The most important mat if space is limited.
Zone 3 – Indoors: The Drying Area
Highly absorbent drying mat that ensures a clean indoor environment.
The 6-Step Rule
For an entrance solution to be 100% effective, a visitor needs to take about 6 steps on the mats (a total of approx. 4–5 meters). This ensures both shoe soles and wheelchair tires become clean and dry. Don’t have space for a long mat? Split it into one mat outside and one inside.

Things to Consider Before Ordering
- Size Matters
The mat should cover the entire width of the doorway. Consider the length – the longer, the more dirt is captured. - Traffic Volume
High traffic (schools/shopping centers) requires aluminum or rubber. Offices often manage with standard textile. - Cleaning and Maintenance
Choose a mat you can handle. Should it be machine-washable or vacuumed? - Safety
Loose mats must have a non-slip backing and beveled edges to reduce the risk of tripping.
