A Guide to Residential Home Floor Mats
A mat for every area in your home.
Homes can vary wildly in terms of their layout, design, and home décor. However, all houses tend to share the same primary areas—kitchen, living room, front porch, etc. Before you host your next summer BBQ, it’s a good idea to reevaluate the areas of the home that might need new matting.
Residential mats are designed to function in a wide range of applications. For example, they can provide traction or moisture absorption for potentially slippery areas, protect hardwood floor surfaces from being scratched or scuffed, provide a comfortable working area or offer an aesthetic appeal.
Opting for cheaper mats for your home might save you money initially, but inexpensive mats often wear out quickly and can end up costing you more money in replacements. Mats from NoTrax are built to hold up in the toughest environments and will outlast cheap imitations—saving you money in the long run.

Choosing the right mat for the right place can maximize a mat’s efficacy and lifespan. Here is a breakdown of the most common areas of the home and descriptions of the mats best suited to those areas.
Outside Entrance Mats
Exterior scraper mats are ideal for use in residential entrance ways, front door areas, and patios. Because outdoor mats are subjected to the elements, direct sunlight, and temperature fluctuations, it is essential to select a mat that is designed to function in outdoor environments.
Outdoor entrance mats are also designed to begin the scraping process by trapping dirt and debris before they can enter the home. Some entrance mats have rigid bristles that serve to dislodge substances that are trapped on the bottoms of shoes and keep the inside of your house clean.
Entry from Outside
A tough outdoor door mat works as the first defense against moisture and debris brought into your home.

Indoor entrance mats function best in conjunction with exterior entrance mats that have begun the debris trapping process. There is a wide range of indoor entrance mats available with various aesthetic themes and functional applications.
Mats designed to dry the bottoms of shoes are ideal for indoor residential entranceways because they prevent water from being tacked inside. Some indoor entrance mats also offer increased traction that will help to reduce trips and falls due to wet surfaces.

Mats for Patio Decks & Outdoor Cooking/Grilling
Decks and patios tend to be exposed to the elements, so it’s crucial to consider mats intended to function in outdoor areas. For example, a large entrance mat will offer a comfortable surface for residents and guests to walk on while preventing dirt and debris from being tracked inside.
An anti-grease mat in the outdoor cooking and grilling area on your deck helps to prevent slips and falls resulting from greasy surfaces. An additional advantage of a grease-resistant mat is that—unlike other mats—these mats won’t be damaged by oils or other greasy liquids. Anti-fatigue mats for the grilling area would also provide a comfortable area from which to stand and cook or grill.
