Entrance Mats
Commercial entrance mats are essential investments for UK restaurants, cafés, and business spaces where first impressions truly count. These aren't your basic home door mats—they're heavy-duty defenders designed to handle hundreds of footfalls daily while keeping floors clean and customers safe. With durable, non-slip materials that withstand constant traffic, these mats efficiently trap dirt, moisture, and debris before they travel further into your establishment. They complement your commercial kitchen equipment beautifully, creating a complete professional environment from entrance to kitchen. After 50 years of kitting out businesses, we've seen how the right entrance mat dramatically reduces cleaning time and prevents costly slip accidents!

Material and Durability

How Commercial Entrance Mats Work
Commercial entrance mats employ clever multi-layer technology to tackle the mess before it spreads through your premises. The top layer typically features tough, textured fibres or rubber scraper ridges that actively remove dirt and moisture from shoes as people walk across. Some professional mats use bi-level construction with recessed areas that trap and hide debris until cleaning time. Many commercial models contain absorbent middle layers to soak up rainwater and prevent puddles, while non-slip backing keeps everything firmly in place even during the busiest lunch rush. It's all about creating that critical first line of defence that works tirelessly to keep your floors clean and your customers safe!

"Entrance mats might not be glamorous, but they’re your first line of defence against dirt and slips—especially in busy restaurants. A good mat keeps your floors cleaner, safer, and saves you hours of mopping later—trust me, your mop will thank you!"
Safety Guidelines
- Check Regularly Inspect for curling edges daily—prevents trips.
- Clean Properly Follow care instructions—maintains slip resistance.
- Secure Properly Use tape/grippers on smooth floors—prevents sliding.
- Replace When Saturated Switch wet mats during heavy rain—maintains effectiveness.

- Winter Preparation Add extra mats during snowy conditions—captures melting ice.
Top Tips for Using Commercial Entrance Mats
For maximum effectiveness, position your mat to ensure visitors take at least 3-4 steps across it before reaching your interior floors. Rotate mats periodically in busy doorways to distribute wear evenly. During particularly wet weather, consider doubling up with a moisture-absorbing mat inside after the main entrance mat. Vacuum daily rather than shaking, which can damage fibres over time, and wash with mild detergent monthly to remove embedded dirt and revitalize absorption properties.
