Get the Right Door Mat

Door mat is generally not a thoughtful purchase. We need one and so we buy without thinking a bit. We realize the mistake after we start using it. A little thought is sufficient to determine the application and purchasing accordingly. Apart from aesthetics, we should be aware of what they are made of and which benefits they offer to the customers.

Facts you should consider while buying a doormat

The popular floor mats we use at the entrance are either vinyl or rubber backed. Some carpet fiber type materials are used on the top surface. They are usually a dyed nylon or propylene fiber. The face weight is a crucial factor that determines the quality and hence the price. And the face design is also vital. Needle-punch, cut pile, looped are some of the attractive face designs and extremely popular among the customers.

Dual rib mats are meant for both indoor and outdoor use. They are named so since they have ribbed fiber surface and vinyl at the backside. They are available in various widths, like 3’, 4’ or 6’. For residential use, 3’ width is sufficient. The face weight comes between 18–24 ounces. They are quite affordable and propylene fiber at the front surface does not stain.

The nylon twist mats with rubber at the back is good for indoor use. Nylon is used with piles looped at the front part and they are available in a wide array of colours. They are a bit costly.
