Many people do not realize just how many different types of mats there are in the market place today. There is everything ranging from welcome mats to entrance mats to industrial and commercial use mats. A person can be easily overwhelmed by the shear volume of what is available and have a hard time choosing the mat that best fits their needs. With that in mind who wouldn't want an easy to reference list of the various types of mats available and their various uses.
Starting off very simply with a welcome mat, more commonly known as a doormat, it is one of the most basic uses of the various types of mats currently available. They most often come in roughly 2'x 3' square mats that can be placed at you front door, although there are many various shapes and sizes that they can come in. Most often they are either funny or humorous mats designed to lighten the hearts of your guests before they enter your home. It might also take the form of a personalized mat with your name or initials denoting your pride in owning your home. Maybe the homeowner chooses a Holiday or seasonal mat to show their love of the season. Whatever a person might choose a Welcome Mat is the quintessential way of welcoming guests into your home.
With welcome mats greeting guests into your home, entrance mats then offer your guests a place to wipe their feet helping to protest your floors and carpets from all the dirt, rocks or debris that might get tracked into you home. Entrance mats most often take the form of longer rubber backed mats that help to trap water and dirt so that it does not get tracked into your home. This type of mat is most often seen at places of business although they can be used at back doors as a place to leave shoes when entering your home.
Next are industrial mats which are primarily rubber grid mats that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Although they have many applications grid mats are most often found in areas where there is lots of water and traction can be hard to come by. The grid design allows water to seep to the floor allowing a person standing on the mat to maintain good traction while working. These types of mats are most often found in dishwashing or car washing areas, where there is lots of water which could lead to slips and falls.
Commercial mats primarily find themselves used in garages, workshops or in machine shops. Commercial mats are probably one of the most diverse types of mats as they range from soft mats designed to relieve the stress off standing on hard floors all day, to rubber mats designed for good traction. In addition there are commercial mats that encompass both features as they are foam backed with diamond patterned PVC coating to both relieve strain and offer good traction.
