Entrance Mats: Finding the Perfect Match

Your building entryways tell a story to your customers, workers, and visitors. Is it a welcoming, safe story? Or is it a tale of danger, ugliness and neglect? Installing top-notch entrance mats for office buildings constructed of tough, attractive floor mat material tells the world your company cares about safety and a good first impression.

Choosing the best commercial interior or exterior entrance mat is more than a quick Google search. Vital factors such as the mat’s ability to trap and remove dirt, how well it can minimize slips and falls, as well as its durability and ease of maintenance must be considered in order to optimize your entrance mat strategy.


Heavy Duty Entrance Mats Reduce Tracking Dirt Inside

Studies show 85 percent of dirt and grime walks into your building on pedestrians’ feet. Installing 15-feet of entrance matting can neutralize 75 percent of the mess. That means less work for custodians and a more attractive interior. In addition, tracked particles can increase wear and tear on interior carpets.


Proper mat placement is not only a benefit to office cleanliness, it also helps maintain stringent industry standards. The American Society of Testing Materials’ specifications for building design and construction states:

“Building entrances shall be provided with mats or runners, or other means to help remove foreign particles and other contaminants from the bottom of pedestrian footwear. Mats should be provided to minimize foreign particles that may become dangerous to pedestrians particularly on hard smooth floors, from being tracked on floors.”

NoTrax’s Scrapping & Moisture Trap Entrance Mat Guzzler™ 166 is an all around performer when it comes to keeping dirt out of your space. A rubber-backed entrance mat, Guzzler works best in medium to heavy traffic areas. With a crushproof, waffle design, Guzzler aggressively scrapes and cleans. Its rubber-edged perimeter traps dirt and moisture for superior water and soil control. Molded rubber, underside cleats grab the underfloor to minimize mat movement. Guzzler stays attractive with stain and fade resistant fiber to keep colors sharp and the mat looking new. Guzzler is constructed with 26 ounces of tufted yarn per square yard for increased
moisture retention, and easier cleaning.

Non Absorbent Scraper Entrance Mat Prelude™ 231 is a scraper mat constructed of coarse loop-twisted non-absorbent fiber. Perfect as an outside entrance mat for buildings, Prelude is the perfect – well, prelude – for the removal of dirt and debris before dirty feet can enter your building. Prelude may be used as a stand-alone commercial entrance mat or as the first line of defense in coordinated stages for your entrance matting system. Prelude is available in black, brown and gray.


Picking Your Floor Mat Material, Color, Pattern and More

While building floors unmarred by dirt give visitors an excellent first impression, installing entrance mats that fit the color, theme and branding of the company will take your brand ascetics to a new level. NoTrax provides a diversity of mats that fit your tone, brand and mission. Your entrance tells a story of a prosperous business, and our entrance mats are the first chapter.

Custom Length Entry Logo Mats Master Trax® 370 is a heavy-duty entrance mat designed specifically for oversized entrances and foyers. For situations in which one piece of matting is required versus multiple, individual mats, Master Trax is constructed of a robust 54 ounces of needle-punch yarn per square yard. Master Trax can withstand high-traffic areas such as store entrances, hospitals, schools and office buildings. A Berber top surface is available in a variety of colors to match any décor. Beveled edge borders are available for a more gradual transition from floor to mat.

Our Custom Logo Mat Entrance Mat Superior Impact™ 193 stops dirt and debris while sharing your company’s brilliant logo with the world from the first step visitors make. Superior Impact is printed with a state-of-the-art, computer-controlled, dye-injection process embedded deeply into the carpet pile, providing long-lasting, fade resistant, vibrant color. Made from high-quality fiber with a heavy-duty vinyl backing, the entrance mat allows better surface friction, greatly reducing mat movement on smooth floors such as wood, marble, tile or concrete. Available in a 22-color palette.


Non-Slip Matting Reduces Slips and Falls

Slips, trips, and falls contribute to a majority of general business accidents. The U.S. Department of Labor says they comprise around 25 percent of reported on-the-job injury claims and about 65 percent of all work days lost. When pedestrians track dirt, mud, water and other particles into your building, they are creating the “perfect storm” for serious slips and falls.

Fortunately, NoTrax offers entrance mat solutions to keep your floors safe. The Interlocking Drainage Entrance Mat Masterflex™ 592 leverages open construction with an octagonal ring design for enhanced drainage. Masterflex’s drainage design combines the functionality of a multi-zone entrance matting system with the ease of on-site modular installation.

Made from a durable natural rubber compound with excellent floor adherence it features raised studs underneath to allow water to drain through, keeping the surface clean and dry. The mats smooth surface makes it suitable for wheeled access from carts and wheelchairs to suitcases, etc.

Heavy Weight Scraper Entrance Mat Heritage Rib™ 117 features a heavier-weight double rib high/low design that scraps away extra moisture and mud with 33 percent more carpet material than our competitors’ “top-line” rib mats.


Maintenance and Cleaning Entrance Floor Mats

All NoTrax entrance mats for buildings are carefully designed for ease of maintenance and cleaning. We recommend a regular maintenance regimen of vacuuming and cleaning to extend the life of your entrance matting system. Because our mats are constructed of the highest quality in fibers and rubber compounds, your custodial staff will thank you for making an otherwise tedious job a snap.

There’s no “one-size-fits-all” strategy when it comes to entrance mats for buildings.
