Commercial Entrance Mat 3x5 — Heavy Duty, Waterproof, Rubber Backed, Low Profile

What to check before you buy

Three-stage matting

Effective entrance systems use scraper matting outside, scraper/wiper at the threshold and wiper matting inside. One mat at the door does a fraction of the work.

Length matters more than thickness

Removing most tracked-in moisture takes several footfalls. Short mats simply move the wet floor further inside.

Backing and slip

A mat that curls or slides becomes the trip hazard it was meant to prevent. Look for beveled edges and a backing suited to the floor.

Slips are the biggest single injury cause

Same-level slips and falls are consistently among the largest categories of workplace injury, and entrance moisture is a leading contributor.

Frequently asked questions

How long should entrance matting be?

Long enough for several footfalls on each section. Industry guidance commonly suggests at least 12 to 15 feet of total matting to capture the majority of tracked-in soil and moisture.

What is a three-stage matting system?

Scraper matting outside to remove heavy debris, a scraper/wiper at the threshold, and wiper matting inside to absorb remaining moisture.

Do entrance mats reduce slip claims?

They address one of the largest contributors to same-level falls - moisture tracked in from outside - as part of a wider floor safety program that includes cleaning and signage.

How often should mats be cleaned?

Once saturated, a mat stops absorbing and can itself become slippery. Cleaning frequency follows traffic and weather rather than a fixed schedule.

Are rubber or carpet mats better?

Rubber scraper mats handle heavy debris and outdoor use; carpet-surface wiper mats absorb moisture indoors. A complete system uses both.
